ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns secured a massive win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14, which keeps the team’s playoff hopes alive. A big reason for the win is the strong play of Joe Flacco.

Flacco has been such a steady force for the Browns' offense during the last two weeks that head coach Kevin Stefanski named him the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. In Flacco’s last two starts, the Browns have averaged 44.5 pass attempts per game. That has allowed Flacco to throw for 565 yards and five touchdowns with just two interceptions.
The veteran has stepped into Cleveland’s offense and looked like a legitimate fantasy option, scoring at least 16.0 points in consecutive games. Now that we know Flacco is the starter, he has huge streaming potential with matchups against the Bears (Week 15) and Texans (Week 16) on the horizon.
