Well, we don't usually get breaking news right before the segment that is so relevant for the breaking news.

But the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals are making a trade, and Joe Flacco is going to the Bengals.

They needed a quarterback upgrade.

Hopefully they're getting it.

Cleveland certainly did not get a quarterback upgrade with Joe Flacco.

He was really bad.

He averaged 5.1 yards per attempt with the Browns.

A couple years ago with the Browns, he averaged 7.9 yards per attempt.

So hopefully he's still got something left in the tank

as we welcome you back to fantasy football today presented by BetMGM.

And this is huge news more so for chase and higgins so jamie take it away your

analysis of this trade according to in rapaport and tom pellicero uh the bengals trading for joe flacco

i mean look they got another version of j Browning, but maybe it's a more competent

version of Jake Browning.

He's not going to be mobile. He's going to still have to deal with that bad offensive line that Browning was dealing with. But give the Bengals credit for at least trying. Now, we would have preferred, let's say, a James Winston or somebody that could, I think, take the receiving court to another level. But like you said, we've seen Flacco in his history do this.

We just got to get him now to play for the Steelers at some point, and he gets the whole AFC North. I think take the receiving cord to another level. But like you said, we've seen Flacco in his history do this.

We just got to get him now to play for the Steelers at some point, and he gets the whole AFC North locked up. But at this point, look, give the Bengals some credit for trying. You know, it just hasn't been working with Browning. The intercession has been an issue. At least when you saw last week for Chase in particular, I know Higgins had the touchdown.

When the matchup is not so overwhelming,

where the quarterback play is going to be such a deficit, they still have the ability to produce at a high level. And so the two weeks prior where they struggle with the defenses that they faced, then they play the Lions with that bad secondary. This is going to be a tough matchup still against the Green Bay Packers. you know, you expect at least, you at least he's coming in with the ability to get the game plan in, you know, showing up on Tuesday, you know, so they could do all their installs for Flacco on Wednesday, and he's most likely starting against the Packers. But I just give them credit for trying. They're trying to salvage their season, two and three after two and no start, lose three straight games after losing Joe Burrow. They just got to try and stay close to 500 until Burrow is able to come back and maybe they can make a playoff push. But for the receivers, for fantasy, this is me a slight upgrade. I'm definitely starting Jamar Chase. I was starting him anyway. He was a top 10 wide receiver for this week. Higgins gets closer now to the top 24. You need to see it. But I do think that if we are talking about one thing in particular, the downfield throws will be there for Higgins.

You know, that's something that Jake Browning has not been doing. And I think Higgins will benefit the most from this. And we saw that with Flacco in Cleveland. His attempt rate on passes of 15 plus air yards was 21.3% that's higher than what Jake Browning was at. I also want to tell you that Flacco had a better

catchable throw rate than Jake Browning. And he also had 11 drops by his receivers in Cleveland.

That's pretty much why his completion rate was lower than Jake Browning. So he's going to take
