Joe Flacco's Preseason Player AnalysisMichael Pittman Out Multiple Weeks With Back Injury
Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."
Anthony Richardson (Oblique) Downgraded to Doubtful
Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to Doubtful for Sundays game against the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco will start for the Colts, most likely giving the offense a very different feel and game plan
Anthony Richardson "Day To Day" With Oblique and Abdomen Injuries
Colts QB Anthony Richardson is considered "day to day" with oblique and abdominal strains suffered in the Week 4 win over the Steelers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "He has a shot to play this week against the Jaguars," Pelissero adds. It's about the best possible news Richardson owners could have hoped for, although if his mobility is at all compromised, it'd take a big bite out of his fantasy value. We'll track Richardson's progress throughout this week. QB Joe Flacco will start if Richardson doesn't. Flacco would be an upgrade for the Colts' pass-catchers.
Amari Cooper (heel) out vs. Jets
Browns WR Amari Cooper (heel) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Jets. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported less than an hour ago that Cooper was likely to play, but he reportedly didn't feel good enough in pregame warmups. His absence leaves Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman, Marquise Goodwin, David Bell, and James Proche as Cleveland's five active WRs. We'd try to avoid the group against the Jets' top-ranked WR defense. TE David Njoku should get a target boost with Cooper out. QB Joe Flacco is no more than a low-end QB2 tonight considering the matchup and Cooper's absence.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson out, Joe Flacco starts Week 13
Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. The team confirmed on Friday that QB Joe Flacco will start that one. The 38-year-old isn’t a good option at this point of his career – but he should prove to be at least a slight upgrade over Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker.
