Joe Flacco Fantasy

Quarterback Joe Flacco is heading back to New York, agreeing to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Jets. The veteran finished last season by throwing for 338 yards and three touchdowns throughout two games. Naturally, Flacco no longer has any fantasy value. Instead, he's expected to continue to play a role in Zach Wilson's development, so he may indirectly impact things by helping the young signal-caller progress during the 2022-23 campaign.

The New York Jets are reportedly talking with free-agent quarterback Joe Flacco. According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, Jets head coach Robert Saleh wants to run it back with Zach Wilson, Mike White (must receive RFA tender), and Flacco. The 37-year-old appeared in two games in 2021 and completed 27-of-42 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns. He added three yards on two rushing attempts and lost a fumble. His days as a starting quarterback are gone; Flacco will provide the Jets a veteran presence and back up the No.2 overall pick in 2021 NFL Draft Zach Wilson.

New York Jets quarterbacks Mike White and Joe Flacco were both placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. White tested positive for the virus, while Flacco was deemed a close contact. The good news is that rookie quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will be available to return from a four-game absence and start against the Houston Texans in Week 12 this Sunday. With both White and Flacco likely unavailable this weekend, Josh Johnson will probably be promoted off the practice squad to back up Wilson against the Texans. It's unknown if White is vaccinated, but if he is, he could return in time for Sunday's game if he's asymptomatic and returns two negative tests. Wilson will have a great matchup in his return, but he's struggled in his first six games in the NFL and is likely to be rusty after a long absence.
