Joe Flacco had a top-10 weekly finish in 2025 and is cited by the source as an example of a quarterback who can put up big numbers with the help of having superstar receivers (alongside Joe Burrow as a comparable). This demonstrates that even backup or aging quarterbacks can produce QB1 weeks when paired with elite receiving talent.

The 41-year-old Flacco is the top backup quarterback in what the source describes as the most experienced backup quarterback room in NFL history. Flacco replaced Burrow early in the second quarter of the preseason opener against Detroit and led a short touchdown drive after a Detroit turnover, throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jack Endries.
