News: 1 day agoFlacco completed 22 of 38 passes for 189 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard.

Spin: Flacco turned in a workman-like performance that saw him struggle at times, including on a first-quarter interception that led to a Titans touchdown. However, the veteran signal-caller continued to battle throughout and eventually led scoring drives on three straight possessions between late in the third quarter and the midway point of the final period. Flacco connected with Josh Downs (22 yards) and Michael Pittman (10 yards) for his pair of touchdown passes, and if Anthony Richardson (oblique) makes his return against the Dolphins in Week 7 as expected, Flacco will have completed his early season fill-in tenure with a trio of multi-touchdown tallies.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Flacco signed with the Colts as the primary backup to Anthony Richardson. It's another new landing spot for Flacco after an impressive comeback effort in 2023, in which he tossed 13 TDs and eight INTs in five regular-season games with the Browns. Flacco produced 16-plus fantasy points in all five games thanks to a newfound aggressive style of play (9.3 aDOT). The aggression led to plenty of turnovers and didn't work well in the playoff loss, however, and he remained a nonfactor with his legs (2 yards on nine carries). Flacco is 39 years old and, even if Richardson misses time, the veteran QB will be no more than a back-end QB2.
