Bengals' Joe Flacco: Staying in Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reportsFlacco kicked off last season as the Browns' No. 1 quarterback, completing 93 of 160 passes (58.1 percent) for 815 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions in four starts. Cleveland then dealt him to Cincinnati, where he proceeded to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. In six more starts with his new team, Flacco racked up 1,636 yards and a 13:4 TD:INT on 61.6 percent passing. Once Burrow recovered from his turf toe injury, Flacco saw only spot action down the stretch of the 2025 campaign, a role he figures to fill again this season as long as the former remains healthy.

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Wants to continue playing
Joe Flacco recently told the Ross Tucker Football Podcast that he wants to continue his NFL career and will target the best opportunities for playing time.In other words, Flacco won't be any hurry to re-sign with Cincinnati as Joe Burrow's backup, even though ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Cincinnati Bengals are interested in keeping the 41-year-old. If he can't find a chance to compete for a starting job, Flacco suggested that he may remain a free agent deep into the summer, waiting for injuries and/or benchings that open up job oppotunities.

Joe Flacco completed 251 of 416 passes for 2,479 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 13 regular-season games, including 10 starts, during the 2025 season.Flacco opened the 2025 campaign as the Browns' Week 1 starter but led Cleveland to a 1-3 record and was benched following Week 4 after completing just 58.1 percent of his passes with a miserable 2:6 TD:INT. Flacco was then traded to the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals ahead of Week 6 after Joe Burrow suffered an early-season turf-toe injury. Flacco went on to make six starts for the Bengals and appeared in nine total games for Cincinnati, completing 61.7 percent of his throws with 13 touchdowns to just four interceptions.

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: Quiet day in loss to Pats
Joe Flacco completed 19 of 37 passing for 183 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots. He added three yards on his lone carry.The 40-year-old quarterback was held in check most of the day by the New England defense, but Flacco did find Mitchell Tinsley for a 17-yard score with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter as the Cincinnati Bengals tried to mound a comeback. Flacco did leave the game briefly just prior to tossing the TD in order to to get checked out for a finger issue, but his health may not be a major concern for the Bengals in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return for a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens. In six games for Cincinnati this season, Flacco compiled 1,636 passing yards with a 13:4 TD:INT.

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Set to start Sunday
Joe Flacco will start Sunday's game against the Patriots with the Cincinnati Bengals electing not to activate Joe Burrow (toe) from injured reserve this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Burrow was a full participant in practice throughout the week and was listed as questionable following Friday's session, but the Bengals have ultimately decided to give him four more days to rest up in preparation of having him make his return from IR ahead of next Thursday's game in Baltimore. As a result, Flacco will be under center for a sixth straight game while Jake Browning serves as the Bengals' backup quarterback. With Ja'Marr Chase (suspension) sitting out Sunday, wideouts Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas, tight ends Noah Fant and Mike Gesicki and running back Chase Brown will operate as Flacco's top pass-catching options versus New England. Assuming Burrow incurs now setbacks during the upcoming week, Flacco will likely be headed for the backup role for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Ravens.

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Week 12 starting QB TBD
Joe Flacco (right shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.Flacco was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but a full session Friday paves the way for him to be available versus New England. However, whether he starts Sunday remains to be seen, with the Week 12 status of Joe Burrow (toe) -- who is still on IR and listed as questionable after a limited practice Friday -- yet to be determined, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com. With that in mind, coach Zac Taylor said, "We'll take the time we've got, assess all the practice we've had this week," while adding that "(Burrow's) done everything he can to try to put himself and get ready to go. Now I have to make a decision on what we do." Either way, added context regarding Cincinnati's QB situation will arrive no later than Saturday afternoon, which is the deadline for the team to activate Burrow off IR this week.

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Another limited practice
Joe 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 Cincinnati 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.
