FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Joe Flacco (neck) expected to be cleared for start of season

Free agent quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) is expected to be ready for the 2020 season, per Mike Klis of 9News Denver.

What It Means:

Flacco, who was just waived with a failed physical designation, didn't require surgery on his neck. Adam Caplan of SiriusXM says there's "interest from other teams" to sign Flacco as a backup. He threw 6 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 6.6 adjusted yards per attempt (25th in the NFL) in his only season in Denver before missing the rest of the season with a neck injury. Drew Lock is the Broncos' starter moving forward.

Flacco averaged 11.2 FanDuel points per game last season. He had the fourth-lowest average depth of target (6.8 yards) among the 33 quarterbacks with at least 200 attempts.
