Ranked #29 in 2026 preseason QB rankings. Declan Doyle notes Brissett played pretty well last year when Kyler Murray was pushed aside; Brissett is far better suited as a QB2, but should be able to make the offense look competent as the Cardinals try to tank and get a top-5 pick for next season.

Brissett over 1.5 passing touchdowns at +148 odds is a recommended bet for the Cardinals-Chargers matchup. In his 11 starts, Brissett threw two or more touchdowns in nine of them, demonstrating consistent passing volume; the Cardinals' likely reliance on air attack against the Chargers' defense supports this projection.

QB is the key to Cardinals' offensive production; if he can get production out of skill position players without getting sacked too much, the team may be spicier than expected; source projects Cardinals will win too many games to secure a top-three pick but won't win enough to exit the 2027 QB sweepstakes.

QB Jacoby Brissett is not a terrible quarterback according to the source, who believes the Cardinals won't be as bad as people think under new head coach Mike LaFleur. The source notes that Brissett has had 'highlight-worthy performances at almost every stop in his career' despite spending most of his 12-year career as an interim starter and backup. However, the source acknowledges that for Brissett to operate at capacity, he needs a good offensive line, which Arizona doesn't have.

Brissett is a +13 riser in Guillotine Leagues rankings for Week 1. The source notes he could help teams advance with little investment and may even be available on waivers. In his 12 starts last season, he averaged 40.3 pass attempts, 280.5 passing yards, and 1.9 TDs. With new offensive-minded HC Mike LaFleur and a defense that will force catchup ball, plus an offense loaded with weapons, Brissett offers value as an early-season QB option in Guillotine Leagues.

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.
