52°Availability
The Colts have benched QB Joe Flacco and will have Anthony Richardson start in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Flacco will return to the backup role after struggling in his last two starts. Head coach Shane Steichen stated that Richardson is expected to remain the starter for the remainder of the season.
Joe Flacco will start in Week 11's matchup against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Flacco will remain Indianapolis' starter for Week 11 against the Jets. The veteran threw three interceptions in a loss to the Bills in Week 10, but the team will continue to give him time to settle in before considering benching him. Him starting is good news for the fantasy value of players like Michael Pittman Jr. (back/finger) and Josh Downs on Sunday.
Joe Flacco completed 26-of-35 passes for 272 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in the Colts 30-20 loss against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
It was a tough start to the day for Flacco as he threw a pick-six to open the scoring followed by another interception. He was able to rack up some garbage time production late, but overall he struggled for most of the afternoon. Josh Downs did drop an easy touchdown pass from Flacco as well which didn't help him or the Colts.
Colts coach Shane Steichen said Joe Flacco will start at quarterback for the Colts in Week 10 against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Flacco struggled to find much consistency in Sunday's loss against the Vikings. He will be a mid-to-low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
Joe Flacco completed 16-of-27 passing attempts for 179 yards and an interception in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
The Colts made the decision to make Flacco the starter for Week 9, but he didn't play well in that role. He threw an interception and lost a fumble against the Vikings and failed to score a touchdown over the course of the night. Minnesota's defense is one of the best in the league, however, so the veteran should be primed to bounce back against some easier defenses in the near future.
