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.

Definitely gotta file this take now before they play Seattle in Week 2, but man, Jacoby Brissett was excellent to start off 2026. Executed the offense, made good decisions, made big-time throws, kept the train on the tracks, etc.

Brissett won a Week 1 start against the Chargers as a Cardinals backup, continuing a pattern of winning one game per season as a backup quarterback; the source notes this will likely be one of just a handful of wins for Arizona this year, as they lack the roster talent to be competitive.

Jacoby Brissett won a Week 1 start against the Chargers as a member of the Cardinals, continuing a pattern of backup quarterback success in single games. The source notes he has done this twice in the last three seasons (Patriots vs. Bengals in 2024, now Cardinals vs. Chargers), but cautions that Arizona's limited roster means this will likely be one of just a handful of wins for the team this year. Brissett exemplifies why quality backup quarterbacks stay employed and occasionally get extended looks as starters.

Broncos: RBs (excluding the last 10 plays of the game where game was out of hand and rotations got mixed up): JK Dobbins: 62% opp share, 27% route share, no 2min/i10 to report RJ Harvey: 38% opp share, 46% route share Jonah Coleman didn’t see much action Dobbins left the game (no injury) early in the 4th and never returned - game was out of hand JKD willl be game script sensitive so better days ahead and plan to put him in during those easy Broncos wins, which mainly come later in the season...

NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026ESPN Fantasy Football

Brissett, the Cardinals starter, is available in 95% of leagues; Week 2 seems a bit early to rely on him before the bye weeks, but he is competent and can be used as a readily available and less expensive waiver option to fill in problematic QB situations.

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.

The source notes the Patriots are led by an MVP runner-up quarterback capable of a quick turnaround following their 13-10 loss to Seattle in Week 1, despite the team's turnover issues (3-0 turnover margin loss vs. Seahawks). One game is not considered a sample size big enough to make major changes to preseason projections.

Jacoby Brissett, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Michael Wilson have been on the field together for 201 dropbacks. Find the splits below. Targets: 39 - MHJ 29 - Wilson Receptions: 21 - Wilson (72% catch rate on a 9.5-yard aDOT) 20 - MHJ (51% catch rate - 13.6-yard aDOT) Receiving yards: 308 - MHJ 283 - Wilson Wilson's targets have been much more efficient. I view them as 2A/2B to McBride as the unquestioned #1.

Brissett completed over 72-percent of his passes in the Chargers' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals, but the source characterizes the offensive performance under Mike McDaniel as not special and the defense as an absolute mess. Arizona had almost 400 yards of total offense, and the source calls the loss an utter embarrassment for Jim Harbaugh's Chargers, who were expected to make noise in the AFC.
