Brissett and the Cardinals played very well in a win over the Chargers in Week 1; however, the source is not scared for the Seahawks facing them in Week 2 because the Seahawks' defense is just that good.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Brissett is the Cardinals' quarterback and heavily targets Trey McBride, who led the team in targets with 13; as long as Brissett is under center, McBride's fantasy managers have little to worry about.NegativeProjectionSep 12, 2026
Brissett is listed as an additional consideration for Week 1 DFS, priced at $5,100 DraftKings/$7,000 FanDuel against Los Angeles. He throws for volume when playing behind regardless of opponent, having thrown 40+ attempts against Seattle, Jacksonville, the Rams, and Houston last year.NegativeMatchupSep 8, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is described as 'awful' during his 2024 stint with New England, and he continued to profile as a great matchup for defenses last year with Arizona, averaging over 3.5 sacks per game and at least one turnover in 10-of-12 starts. The Chargers are a viable Week 1 defense stream against Brissett and the Cardinals.NegativeRoleSep 4, 2026
Brissett will start in Week 1 for the Cardinals before Carson Beck takes over the starting role; this interim role provides short-term starting value before the transition to the rookie.PositiveProjectionSep 4, 2026
Brissett has sneaky low-end QB1 upside until Arizona makes a change at quarterback, though it's only a matter of time until Carson Beck takes over under center. Last season, the veteran was the QB7 after taking over for the injured Kyler Murray, averaging 283.9 passing yards, 1.9 touchdowns, and 19.9 fantasy points per game, totaling 18.7 or more in 81.8% of the contests.NegativeProjectionSep 4, 2026

Brissett is a possible starting option for the Cardinals in their Week 1 matchup against the Chargers, creating a favorable defensive matchup for Los Angeles.PositiveSleeperAug 21, 2026
Brissett is positioned as a streaming option due to Arizona's questionable defense forcing shootouts; he's surrounded by elite skill talent including Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and Jeremiah Love, with Mike LaFleur potentially emerging as a top play-caller.NegativeProjectionAug 20, 2026
Brissett is a tier-7 eighth or ninth-round Superflex pick who figures to start for most or all of the season. No specific performance data or outlook is provided in the source material.NegativeRoleAug 18, 2026
Brissett replaced Kyler Murray in 2025 after Murray played only five games, indicating Brissett's role as the primary starter before Murray's Minnesota move.PositiveBustAug 15, 2026
Brissett is a bust candidate despite strong 2025 production because his role is unstable and short-term. In 2025, Brissett posted career-best stats (3,366 yards, 23 TDs, 8 INTs) and was a top-15 fantasy QB despite Arizona's 1-11 record. However, the Cardinals gave him only a one-year raise to starter money this offseason, signaling limited long-term commitment. Third-round pick Carson Beck looms as a backup with draft capital and recent Hall of Fame game performance that make it probable the Cardinals will give him starts toward season's end. More critically, Arizona is unlikely to compete this season and appears positioned to target next year's strong rookie QB class, meaning Brissett won't be part of the franchise's future or present for long. This makes him a risky draft pick despite his statistical floor.PositiveProjectionAug 14, 2026
Brissett turned back the clock on his career to finish as QB16 across 14 starts last season, enabling strong performances from Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. He recently negotiated a new contract with Arizona, suggesting stability at the position.NegativeProjectionAug 14, 2026

Brissett's presence as Arizona's starting quarterback briefly elevated Marvin Harrison Jr.'s fantasy production.

However, injuries derailed Harrison's season starting in Week 11, limiting the sample size of Brissett's positive impact.NegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026

Brissett enters 2026 with one of the shakiest starting jobs in the league; he went 1-11 as a starter for Arizona last season and his on-field results do not support his demands for QB1 money. Carson Beck, the rookie, has attended every team event and looked excellent, positioning himself as the clear front-runner to take over. The source advises fantasy managers to avoid Brissett entirely, calling him one of the easiest fades in fantasy formats this season due to fragile job security and poor performance history.NegativeBustJul 23, 2026
