Jacoby Brissett is identified as a waiver wire priority for Week 8, suggesting streaming value and potential fantasy upside as a backup or spot-start option.NegativeRoleOct 27, 2026
After losing to the Broncos, Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed that Jacoby Brissett remains the QB1, despite speculation about a potential quarterback change. The source notes that Brissett isn't the reason Arizona is losing, and rookie Carson Beck isn't expected to fix much either.NegativeMatchupOct 26, 2026
Jacoby Brissett gets the Cowboys in Week 8; not particularly attractive but worth considering if stuck at QB.NegativeMatchupOct 26, 2026
Jacoby Brissett gets the Cowboys in Week 8, which is not an attractive matchup for streaming purposes, though he's worth considering if you're stuck at QB.PositiveMatchupOct 26, 2026
Brissett is a low-floor, high-ceiling play with two top-eight finishes this season despite also posting QB27 and QB28 performances. In Week 8, he faces a Cowboys defense that has allowed more than 20 fantasy points to quarterbacks in five of their six games, making the upside worth chasing.PositiveProjectionOct 24, 2026
Brissett has posted 15-plus fantasy points in three of six games this season, including two games over 25 fantasy points, driven by high volume (234 pass attempts, fourth-most in the league) due to the Cardinals' weak running game and frequent trailing situations; he can grind to 15 fantasy points in Week 7 against Denver with Trey McBride and Michael Wilson as receiving options.PositiveMatchupOct 24, 2026
Brissett and the Cardinals face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 when top QBs Tyler Shough, Brock Purdy, C.J. Stroud, and J.J. McCarthy are on bye. The game total is set at 51.5, a massive number, and the Cowboys defense has allowed 21.3 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, which is fifth-worst in the NFL.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026

Jacoby Brissett versus Denver is listed as a desperation streaming option for Week 7 at 36% roster percentage, indicating this should only be considered in dire circumstances.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026
Brissett's presence at quarterback for the Cardinals, combined with the team's general offensive inconsistency, limits the fantasy relevance of even high-volume receivers like Michael Wilson; seven targets per game isn't always sufficient for consistent fantasy production in Arizona's offense.NegativeSleeperOct 15, 2026
Brissett is a Sleeper option this week against the Rams; he doesn't have a great matchup, but volume while chasing points should get him to some decent garbage-time totals. Brissett is averaging just under 40 pass attempts per game.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026
Brissett was correctly identified as a start in the previous week's matchup analysis, demonstrating the accuracy of the source's recommendations.NegativeValueOct 14, 2026
Jacoby Brissett holds a rest-of-season trade value of 12, matching Aaron Rodgers and Kyler Murray in the minimal value tier of quarterback valuations.PositiveProjectionOct 12, 2026
Jacoby Brissett should continue to put up good numbers most weeks on an offense that chases points like dogs chase cars. In Week 6 against the Rams, he should provide at least 30 minutes of fantasy-friendly garbage time.PositiveProjectionOct 10, 2026
With Jacoby Brissett at QB, Michael Wilson is not ruled out for another fantasy WR1 stretch in the near term, suggesting Brissett's play supports Wilson's elite fantasy ceiling.PositiveProjectionOct 9, 2026

Hayden Winks made one of his biggest ranking jumps for the Lions-Cardinals matchup to Jacoby Brissett, indicating significant upside in this favorable game environment.PositiveMatchupOct 9, 2026
Detroit's back seven has been shredded by everybody, and Josh Allen is the only no-doubt star it's faced. Brissett has help (Trey McBride, Michael Wilson) and should race past 40 pass attempts; first team to 30 points wins.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026
Brissett faces the Lions, who are allowing quarterbacks 327 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and 29 fantasy points per game this season; even adjusting for opponents faced (Tyler Shough, Josh Allen, Geno Smith, Bryce Young), Detroit has allowed more than six fantasy points per game above expectation. The Cardinals-Lions game total is 54.5 points, the highest of Week 5. Brissett has attempted at least 35 passes in three of four games and is averaging the eighth-most pass attempts per game (38) overall. Almost the entire Lions secondary is injured, with cornerback Rock Ya-Sin set to miss Week 5, making him the fourth Lions starter to go down in their secondary. The source ranks Brissett as a top-10 fantasy option this week, comparable to C.J. Stroud's performance last week against the Cowboys.NegativeProjectionOct 8, 2026
Brissett is projected for 19.5 points in Week 5 against Detroit.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026
Brissett faces Detroit's ravaged secondary, which has given up 1,216 passing yards and 11 touchdowns through four weeks. Despite inconsistency (loss to Giants last week), he has elite TE Trey McBride and emerging WR Michael Wilson as weapons. The source recommends buying another ticket to the Arizona-Detroit game this week.PositiveMatchupOct 7, 2026
Brissett is identified as a potential QB option to stream through Weeks 5-7, facing the Lions, Rams, and Broncos. The source selected Brissett as one of three passers to consider for navigating to November based on upcoming matchup strength, positioning him as a waiver-wire alternative to high-priced early-round QB picks.NegativeValueOct 7, 2026
Jacoby Brissett holds a rest-of-season trade value of 0, placing him in the lowest tier of quarterback valuations.NegativeMatchupOct 6, 2026
Threw an interception in the end zone on the final play of Week 4 against the Giants, resulting in a 100-yard defensive touchdown return by Deonte Banks that gave New York an eight-point swing and the top defense score of the week.PositiveMatchupOct 6, 2026
Jacoby Brissett gets the Lions this week, who have a terrible pass defense. The Lions' defense didn't play any defense on Sunday night, and that performance wasn't an anomaly—they're that bad against the pass. Brissett is a solid streamer in Week 5.NegativeProjectionOct 6, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is good enough to run a competent offense but not good enough to make a big difference for the Arizona Cardinals in winning games. The Cardinals are 2-14 over the last two seasons when Brissett starts. On Sunday against the Giants, he threw three interceptions, including one on the final play that was returned for a touchdown. A quarterback change is likely coming soon.PositiveMatchupOct 5, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is ranked as the No. 10 overall waiver-wire pickup for Week 5 against the Lions. The source notes Brissett hasn't picked up where he left off last season when he was a top-10 fantasy quarterback on a per-game basis over the final 12 games. However, a matchup with the banged-up Lions secondary is the perfect recipe for any passer; through four weeks, Detroit has allowed at least 20 fantasy points to every quarterback it has faced, including Tyler Shough (QB6 in Week 1), Josh Allen (QB1 in Week 2), Geno Smith (QB3 in Week 3), and Bryce Young (QB6 in Week 4). Brissett is an excellent streaming option this week, though the source cautions against expecting long-term solutions from him given Arizona's difficult schedule ahead (Broncos, Rams twice, Seahawks, Chiefs in five of the next six games). Brissett has turned the ball over three times this week.NegativeProjectionOct 5, 2026
Brissett is averaging 4.7 yards per attempt on 115 passes since Week 1, indicating inefficient passing production that limits his fantasy ceiling despite being listed as a waiver option.NegativeProjectionOct 4, 2026
Brissett struggled against the New York defense in the Cardinals' Week 4 win, throwing three interceptions and taking two sacks while posting a 4.7 yards per attempt average. The source notes the Cardinals have now lost three straight and perhaps the Carson Beck experiment at quarterback will start sooner than expected.PositiveSleeperOct 1, 2026

Jacoby Brissett combined with Jeremiah Love and the Cardinals' offense to put up 365 yards and 30 points against the 49ers in Week 3, taking advantage of San Francisco's defensive line injuries; this success suggests the Denver Broncos should enjoy similar success against the 49ers in Week 4.NegativeProjectionSep 24, 2026
Jacoby Brissett has 19 projected points in Week 3 at San Francisco, ranking 19th among QBs.NegativeProjectionSep 24, 2026
Ranked 21st in Week 3. The Seahawks put the jaws of life on Brissett in Week 2, highlighting the downside of having a pocket statue as quarterback. Thankfully for QB2 seekers, there's no one else really operating at Seattle's defensive level right now.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026

Brissett threw for 277 yards in Week 1 as Arizona's starting quarterback in an offense that scored 26 points and gained 393 yards. The source uses his performance as context for evaluating receiver production, noting that the offensive environment was not a disaster and that other receivers produced well despite Harrison Jr.'s limited usage.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
Brissett threw for 277 yards in Week 1 as the Cardinals defeated the Chargers 26-14. The source uses his productive passing performance as evidence that the Cardinals offense was functional and capable of producing, contrasting with Marvin Harrison Jr.'s underperformance.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is ranked No. 22 in Week 2 fantasy quarterback rankings, facing Seattle.NegativeValueSep 15, 2026
Brissett is mentioned in the context of Week 2 quarterback waiver wire options, suggesting he is available as a streaming or backup option.PositiveValueSep 9, 2026
Brissett averaged more fantasy points per game than Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, and Justin Herbert during his 12 starts last season. The source acknowledges Brissett was taking advantage of an unrepeatable set of circumstances, but he is very much repeating his strong skill corps, hopefully this time with an improved coaching staff and running game. The defense is scarcely improved, which should help in fantasy. Brissett could prove to be an early-season lifehack in superflex leagues.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
The source notes that Jacoby Brissett looked more capable last season than Deshaun Watson has in his Cleveland tenure, suggesting the Cardinals' quarterback situation is more stable than the Browns' heading into Week 1.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
Ranked 30th in the source's Week 1 fantasy QB rankings, playing on the road at Los Angeles Chargers.PositiveProjectionSep 4, 2026
Jacoby Brissett ranks thirtieth in the source's Top 32 QB rankings for 2026 fantasy football, placing him in the lower tier of quarterback projections.PositiveValueSep 4, 2026
Brissett enters as QB30 by ADP despite averaging 18.9 fantasy points per game during his 12 starts last season—more than Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, and Justin Herbert. He has one of the league's deepest, most versatile skill corps and a new McVay and Shanny disciple play-calling head coach. Even if benched for Carson Beck, it's difficult to envision him finishing outside the top 24 in superflex.NegativeProjectionSep 3, 2026
The source notes that after Brissett took over as the Cardinals' QB, the team scored just five ground TDs all season, indicating a weak rushing attack that limits the fantasy value of Arizona's running backs.PositiveProjectionSep 2, 2026
Brissett emerged as a quality streaming quarterback for Arizona and is running it back with the Cardinals in 2026; he built great chemistry with receiver Robbie Anderson and should continue to be a viable streaming option.PositiveRoleSep 1, 2026
Brissett emerged as a surprisingly strong streamer after taking over for Kyler Murray last season, averaging 280.5 passing yards and 1.9 touchdowns over his 12 starts. He figures to start for the Cardinals to open the 2026 season and will draw streaming consideration thanks to his garbage-time potential as long as he remains Arizona's starter.NegativeProjectionAug 31, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is mentioned by Justin Boone as one of five QBs (alongside Baker Mayfield, Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, and C.J. Stroud) who would have tied as QB15 in fantasy points per game if Stroud's injury-affected games were removed from his 2025 totals.NegativeProjectionAug 30, 2026
Ranked 25th overall in Tier VI – The Rest; positioned as a lower-tier QB option for 2026 fantasy drafts.NegativeRoleAug 27, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is the starting QB for the Cardinals and will not suit up for the final preseason game against Green Bay on Friday night, as the team is resting starters.PositiveProjectionAug 21, 2026
Brissett earned a re-worked, fully guaranteed one-year contract signaling the Cardinals plan to start him again in 2026. Though his actual play was average, his willingness to throw while trailing generated immense volume and inflated stats, making him QB9 in fantasy points per game after taking over in Week 6. With new offensive-minded head coach Mike LaFleur and healthy Marvin Harrison Jr., the offense could be more efficient, though he could lose the job to rookie Carson Beck if Arizona falls out of playoff contention.PositiveSleeperAug 13, 2026
Brissett is listed as a QB sleeper (ECR 173, QB27) with QB1 upside despite likely eventually giving way to Carson Beck. Arizona's new regime may try to be more balanced on offense, but Brissett has weaponry and demonstrated QB4 production from Weeks 6-15 last season while losing games, suggesting he can produce in a losing environment.PositiveSleeperAug 11, 2026
Jacoby Brissett is so under the radar that he can be picked up on waivers for free if you draft a player on IR early; he showed last year he can win fantasy weeks despite not winning many NFL weeks, and Arizona's defense giving up tons of points combined with dynamic playmakers around him makes him a smart late-round bet if you invest in other positions early.NegativeRoleAug 5, 2026
Brissett is the returning quarterback in Arizona amid a complete offensive overhaul with new head coach and new offensive designer, though the source notes everything else is new in the Cardinals' offense.NegativeMatchupAug 5, 2026
Jacoby Brissett had a strong outing against Dallas a few weeks prior to Week 14 2025, exemplifying the Cowboys' porous secondary as a productive QB matchup; however, the source cautions that game environment projections can be misleading, as Goff's Week 14 matchup against Dallas yielded only 16.2 points despite similar expectations.NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Brissett at $4 salary in Some Plausible Upside tier, placing him among the lower-tier quarterback options with potential.PositiveProjectionJul 27, 2026
Brissett was a fantasy QB1 in every game last season for the Cardinals, who led the league in dropbacks. With the coaching change to Mike LaFleur, who led one of the few offenses this decade that could match Arizona's extreme pass volume, there is a logical shot that the extreme volume will repeat, supporting Brissett's QB1 status.NegativeRoleNo date
Brissett is characterized as part of an unstable QB2 group alongside Geno Smith; both are viewed as players who could be benched at any moment for two bad teams that should be playing young quarterbacks instead.
