The Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) will host the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Joe Flacco.
Is Joe Flacco Playing in Week 7?
Flacco is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bengals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Joe Flacco in Week 7?
Joe Flacco was traded five days prior to taking on Micah Parsons and a rested Pacers team in Lambeau.
I’m not exactly sure who he made angry to deserve that set of circumstances, but he did throw for 219 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, a stat line I think we have to label as a success.
There’s no fantasy appeal here. At best, he can keep Ja’Marr Chase as a WR1 and Tee Higgins as viable weekly, but he struggled earlier this season with the Browns and doesn’t come with a fantasy-friendly skill set at this point in his career.
