Brissett hasn't recaptured the magic from 2025...But the last time we saw Brissett shine was Week 5, in a very similar situation to Week 8. He faced the Lions: bad defense + good offense. In Week 8, we get that same combination again against the Cowboys.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Brissett upgrades to QB12 vs. Cowboys' weak pass defense despite season-long struggles.

Brissett averaged 16.2 PPG in 2026 (QB22 on season, top-12 in only 2 of 7 games), but faces a favorable Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys' 31st-ranked pass-EPA defense (0.23) and 29th-ranked pass success rate (50.4%). The source projects him as QB12 against Dallas, with a median projection of 17.5 points, ceiling of 22.6, and floor of 13.9. The Cowboys are 6.4-point favorites with a 27 PPG offense, creating shootout conditions similar to Week 5 when Brissett shined against the Lions.
