Brissett is QB22 in fantasy points per game with two games of 25+ fantasy points this season. Among 34 qualifying passers, he ranks 32nd in yards per attempt, 18th in passing success rate, 10th in highly accurate throw rate, and 14th in catchable target rate. Against Dallas, who has allowed the 6th-most yards per attempt, 14th-highest passing touchdown rate, 6th-highest CPOE, and 6th-most EPA per dropback over their last five games, Brissett could return to QB1 territory.

Brissett leads the league with 282 pass attempts and has thrown two or more touchdown passes in three games this season. Against the Detroit Lions—a defense similar to Dallas' unit talent-wise—Brissett completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns with a 91.8 Passer Rating. The source notes that if Dallas fails to generate pass rush pressure, Brissett is capable of sitting in the pocket and making solid throws all game long, presenting a significant threat to the Cowboys' weak pass defense.

Brissett leads the league with 282 pass attempts and has thrown 2+ TDs in three games this season. Against the Detroit Lions—a defense similar to Dallas' talent-wise—he completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns with a 91.8 passer rating. The source notes that while the Cardinals' offense hasn't been near the top of the league, Brissett is capable of sitting in the pocket and making solid throws if not pressured; Dallas' defense has struggled to rush the passer in recent weeks, suggesting Arizona's passing attack could make plays all game long in Week 8.

Brissett is not creating nor pushing the ball enough to be trusted week to week, but he is functional enough to soak up garbage time stats against leaky defenses. He's been QB5 against the 49ers and QB7 against the Lions this season while stinking against SEA, LAC, LAR, and DEN. This week's matchup against the Cowboys falls into the leaky bucket; Dallas has allowed 20.3 fantasy points per game to QBs (9th) with numerous coverage busts in an inexperienced defense featuring rookies and a first-time play caller. Jordan Love (QB5) and CJ Stroud (QB4) lit it up through the air, and Jalon Daniels pulled off the upset in Week 5. Arizona is a 6.5-point road underdog with a 24-point implied total (12th).

Brissett was sacked three times against Denver; the source notes that Arizona lacks legitimate offensive threats outside of Trey McBride and struggles to generate explosive plays and put the ball in the end zone consistently, suggesting the Cardinals offense will struggle against Dallas's defense.

Brissett targets the Dallas Cowboys, who allow the sixth-most (19.7) fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. With a 54.5-point over/under and weapons in Trey McBride and Michael Wilson, Brissett is a viable streamer despite being QB15 this season; he has four games with at least 16 fantasy points.

Brissett's down numbers are partially due to a brutal schedule; he has faced four top-10 passing defenses by EPA per dropback and only one outside the top 20. Against Dallas in Week 8, which has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and ranks 30th in EPA per dropback allowed, Brissett is an elite streaming option in a 54.5-point total game.

Brissett is a strong streaming option in Week 8 against Dallas despite down numbers this year. He has faced four top-10 passing defenses by EPA per dropback and only one outside the top 20 (Lions, where he threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns). Dallas has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, ranks 30th in EPA per dropback allowed, and the game features a 54.5-point total.

Brissett is on the other side of the Cowboys-Cardinals game. The Cowboys are giving up the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. While Brissett is always risky, his last matchup with an easy opponent resulted in a top-10 fantasy finish, and a similar outcome is expected this time around.

Brissett has posted at least 270 passing yards in two of the past three games and will look to continue that momentum against Dallas, which ranks 21st in pass defense; the Cowboys' 29th-ranked total defense presents an opportunity for the Cardinals offense to get right.

Jacoby Brissett is a hard quarterback to bring to the ground, so much so that it feels like it will take timely blitzes to finish sacks against the Cowboys rather than counting on an edge rusher group that has been poor at finishing; his dual-threat ability gave the Cowboys defense no chance to hold up in coverage last season.

Brissett's dual-threat ability and hard-to-bring-down nature created major problems for the Cowboys defense in their previous matchup; the source notes the defense couldn't set an edge against him and these Cardinals, and that timely blitzes will be required to finish sacks rather than relying on the edge rusher group, which has been poor at finishing.

Brissett will play the whole game for the Cardinals against the Cowboys, and as long as he does, it will be difficult for him not to accumulate fantasy points. The Cowboys have allowed the third worst completion percentage, the seventh worst average yards per attempt, and the third-worst yards per completion to opposing quarterbacks, while Brissett will inefficiently try to keep up through the air as Dallas scores on Arizona.

Despite being ranked inside QB1 range in FantasyPros Expert Consensus due to a favorable Cowboys matchup, Pat Fitzmaurice is well below consensus on Brissett. Brissett is averaging only 5.7 yards per attempt, has a poor wide receiver group, and is playing without stud left tackle Paris Johnson (out for the season). Fitzmaurice ranks him as midrange QB2, not a viable start this week.

Brissett faces a favorable matchup against Dallas, which ranks bottom-5 in EPA/dropback (-0.30), opposing passer rating (110.2), completion rate (68.5%), yards/attempt (7.9), and QB fantasy points/game (21.3); the 53.5-point game total supports QB upside despite his alternating QB1/QB2 performances over the last six weeks.

The Cowboys play single-high coverage on 60% of their coverage snaps, and Brissett has averaged 6.12 yards per dropback against those looks this season versus 5.51 against two-high.

Struggled to stay clean against Denver, facing pressure throughout the game and being sacked three times; Arizona's offensive line ranks middle of the league in sacks allowed (15 through seven games) and 30th in Run Block Win rate (70%), setting up another difficult matchup against Dallas' pass rush that ranks eighth in Pressure Rate (34%).

Brissett faces a Dallas defense that hasn't stopped much of anything in 2026; the Cowboys are expected to approach 30 points, and Brissett should attempt 40+ passes on game day despite Arizona's tendency to leave points on the table and his conservative deep-ball approach.

Through seven games, Brissett has thrown for 1,600 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions, completing 64.9% of his passes. He has provided stability but the Cardinals have struggled to turn that production into consistent scoring, averaging 20.3 points per game (26th in NFL) and 313.9 yards per game (22nd). Against a Cowboys defense that has recorded just two interceptions this season, Brissett may have opportunities to move the ball, though recently there have been calls to replace him with Carson Beck because the offense has not consistently delivered when it matters most.

The most sizable jump from EPA per dropback to APEX belongs to the Jacoby Brissett Cardinals. They're 26th in EPA per dropback and 21st in APEX, a five-spot improvement when adjusted for defensive competition. Games against the Seahawks, 49ers, and Broncos have hurt their regular pass game performance, meaning the Cardinals' pass game has performed better than raw EPA suggests relative to the quality of defenses faced.

Brissett gets a favorable matchup against Dallas, which ranks last league-wide in defensive EPA per play per NFL Next Gen Stats. Despite logging only one touchdown over his last two games, he should find multiple touchdown opportunities in a high-scoring affair between two struggling defenses.
