Jacoby Brissett is suggested as a potential DFS play. He previously demonstrated a high-scoring stretch when forced to throw frequently due to a poor defense, and he now has a healthy supporting cast.NegativeProjectionSep 8, 2026
Brissett could be a streamer option if the Cardinals lose early and are forced to throw frequently, similar to last year's formula when he was a must-start; however, the source warns his fantasy value is at risk if Arizona starts 0-5 and benches him for rookie Carson Beck, and notes that Brissett's production declined down the stretch last season despite still generating fantasy points.NegativeProjectionAug 21, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is considered a non-ideal QB2, but competitive if the rest of the roster is strong.NegativeRoleAug 21, 2026
Jacoby Brissett should be ranked behind quarterbacks with more job security like Cam Ward or Aaron Rodgers because he has a higher risk of being benched.NegativeRoleJul 21, 2026
Brissett's training camp holdout for a new contract is a significant concern for the Cardinals' offense. As a new staff implementing a new offense, Brissett missing reps in the huddle and not getting live practice time with the young rookie running back creates a notable disadvantage, though his veteran status mitigates some risk.PositiveMatchupJul 7, 2026
If Jacoby Brissett starts the majority of the season for the Cardinals, Michael Wilson could see more opportunities and targets.PositiveProjectionJun 25, 2026
Jacoby Brissett, at 33 years old, had a career-high season last year even without playing the full season, demonstrating strong support for Trey McBride's production.NegativeRoleNo date
Brissett is flagged as a quarterback who could lose his job during the season if his team struggles, making him unplayable in super flex or two-QB leagues if benched; the source warns to be wary of such job-loss risk.PositiveProjectionNo date
In four games where Brissett played at least 61% of snaps with Marvin Harrison Jr., Harrison averaged 14.4 PPR points per game and 8.8 targets per game. The source uses this as evidence that if the Cardinals' offense throws as much as expected under Brissett, Harrison could deliver on his draft capital. This is the primary reason the source hasn't completely faded Harrison despite other concerns.PositiveProjectionNo date
Jamie Eisenberg has interest in Jacoby Brissett in two-QB leagues. He expects Brissett to be in the 17-18 PPR points per game range on a bad week, with some disasters mixed in. The Cardinals' improved run game (additions of Love, Algier, and healthy James Conner) should reduce pass attempts, but the rebuilding defense will force them to chase points. Brissett is already a 10.5-point underdog in week one against the Chargers. With healthy weapons (Harrison Wilson, McBride), Brissett could be a borderline top-15 quarterback if he stays the starter.
