Quarterbacks
Joe Flacco ($5.6K) vs. Chicago Bears
Flacco’s status needs to be monitored this week, but he’s a DFS option if healthy. Flacco has averaged 261.3 passing yards and totaled eight touchdowns over three games since joining Cincinnati. The Bears have allowed the fifth most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to quarterbacks, and this matchup has the highest total (52.5 points) on the slate.
Jaxson Dart ($5.2K) vs. San Francisco 49ers
Dart has been fantasy’s QB6 since taking over five games ago, tied with Jalen Hurts and ahead of Josh Allen. He’s done so while facing defenses ranked top six in schedule-adjusted QB fantasy points allowed during four of those games (and mostly without Malik Nabers and despite being robbed of a 68-yard TD pass last week).
Dart figures to see even more carries around the goal line with Cam Skattebo out for the season, and he already ranked fifth among quarterbacks in designed rush rate (12%). Dart gets a favorable matchup against an injury-ravaged 49ers’ defense that ranks last in non-blitz pressure rate since Nick Bosa went down.
