Bengals' Joe Flacco: Set to resume backup role
With Joe Burrow (toe) having been activated off IR, Joe Flacco is in line to to work as the Cincinnati 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: 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.

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Listed as limited in practice
Joe 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 Cincinnati Bengals may not need him to for much longer (if at all).

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Not practicing Wednesday
Joe Flacco (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.Flacco continues to manage a shoulder issue, but Conway notes that the veteran QB will throw Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow signal caller Joe Burrow, who is working his way back from a toe injury, is slated to get some 11-on-11 work in Wednesday. Per Ben Baby of ESPN, Burrow appears to be targeting a return to action as soon as the Cincinnati Bengals' Thanksgiving Day game against the Ravens, a context that puts Flacco in a position to draw at least one more start, barring any setbacks. Cincinnati hosts New England for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Bengals' Joe Flacco: Struggles in Week 11 loss
Joe Flacco completed 23 of 40 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers. He added one rushing attempt for minus-1 yard.Flacco threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins in the first quarter, but the Cincinnati Bengals didn't get their next points until a field goal in the third quarter, and Flacco threw a pick-six with Cincinnati in field-goal range on the drive after that field goal. The 40-year-old quarterback failed to throw multiple touchdown passes for the first time in five starts with the Bengals, and he posted his lowest total for passing yards since joining Cincinnati. The magic may be wearing off for Flacco, but with Joe Burrow (toe) reportedly targeting a Thanksgiving Day return in Week 13 against the Ravens, Week 12 against the Patriots might be Flacco's last starting opportunity.
