Joe Flacco Fantasy

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) -- he was released on Thursday -- didn't require neck surgery and the belief is that he'll be healthy for the 2020 season. Flacco had two medical opinions on an MRI of his neck and has been in his Baltimore-area home and hasn't been checked by the Broncos medical team since season's end. He was 2-6 in eight starts before suffering a neck injury last year with six touchdowns and five interceptions. Drew Lock is taking over as Denver's starter in 2020 after finishing the year strong. Flacco, a former Super Bowl MVP, will look for a backup gig on the open market.

The Denver Broncos informed quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) that he is being waived on Thursday with a failed-physical designation, according to a source. Flacco, a former Super Bowl MVP, played only half a season in 2019 before suffering a season-ending neck injury. He's reportedly recovering from the injury and wants to play in 2020, but he'll have to do that elsewhere and will only get looks as a veteran backup option around the league. The 35-year-old is completely off the fantasy radar at this point in his career.

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco is likely to be released on Wednesday in order to clear some salary following the trade for defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, according to a source. This has been expected for a while, especially since it's unclear how healthy the veteran quarterback is following a season-ending neck injury in 2019. Flacco made just eight starts last year and tossed six touchdowns and five interceptions and was wildly mediocre. At age 35, he won't be anything more than a veteran backup at this point in his career. The end is near for the former Super Bowl champion. The Broncos signed Jeff Driskel on Tuesday to compete for the backup gig.
