BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Superflex Formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco has been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL over the past two games. The veteran passer looked basically done after struggling in five games with the New York Jets last season, but he's made a sizable impact in two starts with the Browns.
Last week, Flacco led Cleveland to a 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was 26-for-45 for 311 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the victory. Flacco has some really good weapons around him in Cleveland and so far, he's taken advantage of that, throwing for 565 yards in his first two starts with the team.
Still, that's not to say Flacco is a lock to keep this up. He's 38 years old and turns 39 in less than a month. Last week's 300-yard game was his first since Week 2 of last season. This week, he faces a Chicago Bears defense that has picked off opposing quarterbacks 15 times this year, tied for second-most in the NFL. Flacco is an option in superflex leagues, but it's tough to trust him in single-QB formats considering all the potential downside with him.
