• Bengals' Joe Flacco: Set to resume backup role

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  With Joe Burrow (toe) having been activated off IR, Flacco is in line to to work as the Bengals' No. 2 QB in Thursday's game against the Ravens. After arriving via a trade with the Browns in October, the veteran QB drew six starts for the Bengals, who went 1-5 in that span. With Burrow back in the starting lineup, Flacco is worth rostering only by those in deeper fantasy leagues or by Burrow managers who have the flexibility/bench space to keep his backup on hand.

• Bengals' Joe Flacco: Estimated as limited in practice

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Flacco (shoulder/finger) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports. The Bengals didn't actually practice Monday but were required to post an injury report ahead of Thursday night's game against the Ravens. Flacco has been dealing with the shoulder issue for weeks and now has a finger injury. The big news for Cincinnati is Joe Burrow's (toe) estimation as a full participant, and he's expected to be under center on Thanksgiving night.

• Bengals' Joe Flacco: Another limited practice

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Flacco (right shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Flacco also was limited Wednesday, but at this stage there's no reason to think he'll be unavailable Sunday against the Patriots. However, with Joe Burrow (toe) having logged his second straight full practice, while taking snaps with the first-team offense in the process, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, it's uncertain if Flacco will continue as the Bengals' starting QB this weekend, with that assignment (or lack thereof) hinging on whether Burrow is deemed fit for his first game action since Week 2.

• Bengals' Joe Flacco: Listed as limited in practice

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Flacco (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. Flacco wasn't expected to practice but apparently did enough to warrant a 'limited' designation -- perhaps without throwing any passes. In Flacco's absence, Joe Burrow (toe) led the first-team offense during 11-on-11s, giving rise to speculation that Burrow may try to play this Sunday against the Patriots. For what it's worth, reports last week suggested Burrow was targeting the Thanksgiving Day game at Baltimore just four days later. There doesn't seem to be any doubt Flacco can continue playing through his shoulder injury, but the Bengals may not need him to for much longer (if at all).
