Episode notes
Flacco As Short-Term Stabilizer
- Joe Flacco gives the Bengals a more experienced, less mobile option that could stabilize the passing game.
- The trade is a slight upgrade and a clear attempt to salvage Cincinnati's season while Joe Burrow is out.
Chase Safe, Higgins Upgraded
- Jamey Eisenberg says Ja'Marr Chase remains a must-start and sees a slight overall upgrade from Flacco.
- Tee Higgins should climb toward RB/WR2 relevance because Flacco will take more deep shots.
Flacco Brings More Downfield Shots
- Adam Aizer notes Flacco attempted 21.3% passes 15+ air yards in Cleveland and had a higher catchable-throw rate than Jake Browning.
- That suggests more aggressive downfield passing that benefits Chase and Higgins, while possibly reducing targets for running backs.
