Joe Flacco Fantasy Overview

Bengals QB Joe Burrow did not suffer any setbacks with his toe injury this week, according to insider Albert Breer. The team decided on Friday to hold Burrow out of this weekend's game vs. the Patriots and get QB Joe Flacco first-team reps in the final practice of the week. "The team's quick turn, having to play on Thanksgiving, was a determining factor," Breer adds. "He's trending towards playing vs. the Ravens on Thursday." We'll keep you updated on Burrow's status next week, but it sounds like fantasy owners will get him back for a game against a defense he torched for 820 yards and nine TDs in two meetings last year.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) will not play vs. the Patriots on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burrow was a full participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practices and seemed to be trending toward a return for this one. But he was limited on Friday, while QB Joe Flacco took the first-team reps. Assuming Burrow didn't suffer a setback, he should have a good chance to play vs. the Ravens on Thanksgiving night. We'll keep you updated on his status next week. Flacco gets another start tomorrow. He's played well since arriving in Cincinnati but is coming off his worst outing of the season last week and won't have WR Ja'Marr Chase against New England. That leaves him as just a QB2.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. HC Zac Taylor said Friday that he still hasn't decided whether Burrow will return for this one. "Feel comfortable waiting as long as we can with this decision," Taylor said. "[Burrow] has done everything he can to try to make himself ready to go." Cincinnati has until 4 pm ET on Saturday to move Burrow to the active roster. Stay tuned.

The NFL has suspended Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase one game for spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's game. We'll see whether Chase appeals, but video caught him committing the act. So it's tough to envision this one getting overturned.
