Joe Flacco Fantasy

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.

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco was asked to step in and make the start against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. The veteran QB is technically the third string on the roster. However, Zack Wilson (knee) is sidelined and Mike White threw four interceptions last week. Surprisingly, Flacco actually looked fairly decent against the Dolphins. He completed 24-of-39 passing attempts for 291 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions in the loss. He did lose a fumble, but did his job in this one. It's uncertain if the Jets plan on continuing with Flacco as the starter going forward. He could have some low-end streaming appeal against the shaky Houston Texans defense next week.

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco will be under center for the Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. It's a bit of a surprise, but the Jets decided to shake it up after a four interception performance from quarterback Mike White last week. The veteran quarterback won't have an easy matchup ahead of him. Miami uses a blitz-heavy scheme and the Jets have one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Flacco should be viewed as one of the worst streaming options for Week 11. There's really no upside here, but he might be able to produce low-end QB2 value, assuming things go well for him.
