Should You Start or Sit Joe Flacco in Week 17?
This is a good spot for Flacco, though counting on a pocket-locked quarterback with a peaking run game is a bit dangerous. He’s completed 66.5% of his passes this season, but his best counting number performances have come in passing favorable game scripts, something this does not project as.
I currently have him sitting at QB14 this week behind another pocket QB in Aaron Rodgers, a signal-caller who is more likely to be playing catchup (at BUF) than Flacco (at NYG).
