Fantasy Football 2017: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 8

SIT ‘EM

It wasn’t terribly long ago when the word elite was being thrown around Joe Flacco‘s name. That’s not the case anymore, as the former Delaware quarterback has experienced major setbacks since returning from an ACL injury in 2015.

To this point of the season, Flacco has five touchdowns to eight interceptions with 1,189 passing yards to his name. His Ravens are 3-4, but the wins have come mainly at the hands of the defense.

While it’s not difficult to pass on the Dolphins, Flacco still isn’t a good option to start at quarterback this week in fantasy football. His struggles are worrisome and if he’s on your team, I’ll assume it’s because you had Carson Palmer or Aaron Rodgers or someone else who was injured recently.

This is a home game, which could help Flacco a bit, but I’d still keep him on the bench. He just doesn’t appear to have it anymore.
