Ravens QB Joe Flacco's status 'up in the air' for Week 11

Nov 12, 2018

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is nursing a hip injury that could threaten his availability for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati.

With the Ravens coming off a bye, Flacco received an additional week of rest and treatment after sustaining the injury on Nov. 4 in the opening minutes of a 23-16 loss to Pittsburgh.

Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Flacco’s status against the Bengals is “up in the air” and could be a game-time decision.

Fantasy Impact:

If the 11-year veteran can’t go, either Griffin III or rookie Jackson will start for the first time with Baltimore. The team had a Week 10 bye after losing three-straight. The Ravens have also been wanting to get more snaps for Jackson before Flacco was injured, so this seems like it may be a good opportunity to turn things over to Jackson. Those in need of a QB, or in deep QB leagues, may want to consider picking him up if they didn't already.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

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.
