Broncos QB Joe Flacco (neck) expected to miss 5-6 weeks

Oct 29, 2019

The Broncos are going to be without quarterback Joe Flacco for several more weeks (5-6), and he’s getting checked to see how many.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Flacco is getting a second opinion from Dr. Jack Kelley today on the herniated disc in his neck.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen is expected to start this week but many think it will be Lock who eventually takes over, especially of Flacco is looking at missing several weeks. The team will also need to decide if keeping a roster spot open for Flacco is worth it. Flacco doesn't need surgery and the injury isn't career-threatening.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
