Brissett is ranked No. 12 for Week 8 at Dallas and receives an indoor upgrade; he has been a functional contributor this year (16.2 fantasy points per game, 1,600 yards passing, 10 TDs, 6 INTs with 26-80-1 rushing) despite inefficient passing (5.4 AY/A), and he's No. 4 in designed rush share (9%) and goal-line rush share (38%); the Cardinals have a one-day edge off Monday Night Football, and Brissett performed well against Dallas last year (24.8 fantasy points, 261 yards passing, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with 5-4-1 rushing); the Cowboys are No. 30 in defensive pass DVOA (32.9%) and could be without LB Dee Winters (calf), SS Jalen Thompson (hamstring, IR), and S P.J. Locke (foot, IR).

PositiveProjectionOct 27, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Jacoby Brissett is Ian Hartitz's top QB streamer for Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett has posted 8.44 yards per attempt and a 115 passer rating against Dallas dating back to Week 1 of last season across 19 starts in that matchup. Since AT&T Stadium opened in 2009, the Cowboys have allowed 22.3 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs since Monday night of last week—the second-most in the NFL behind Josh Allen's team. Despite some defensive improvements (Joey Porter Jr., Quinton Williams), the Eagles still scored 20 points with a depleted roster, suggesting volume should overcome Dallas's marginal defensive gains. Brissett's job security is confirmed for at least Week 8, though Carson Beck (dealing with a back injury) may eventually take over. Hartitz identifies Brissett as having one of the cleanest QB matchups of Week 8 alongside Gino Smith, combining favorable fantasy points allowed with pressure, success rate, explosive pass plays, and EPA metrics.

The Cowboys allowed Brissett's most-efficient game in yards per attempt (8.4) and passer rating (115.1) in his 19 starts with the Cardinals. Since trading Micah Parsons, the Cowboys allow a league-high 22.3 fantasy points per game to QBs and have basically turned anyone into a Josh Allen-level fantasy demigod. Coach Mike LaFleur has confirmed there will be no change at QB1 this week, and rookie Carson Beck (back) was a mid-week addition to the injury report. The source expects Brissett to not be the team's starting QB after the Seahawks-Rams-Chiefs stretch in Weeks 9-11, but he should be able to get away with it for at least one more week. The Cardinals have more wins in Jerry World (4) without a loss than any team in the NFL.

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Brissett remains the starter despite a 30-16 loss to Denver in Week 7. LaFleur emphasized offensive struggles are collective rather than quarterback-specific, noting the Cardinals have reached the red zone 10 times over the last two games but failed to finish drives. Brissett leads the league with 282 passing attempts through seven games, completing 65% for 1,600 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions; the high attempt volume reflects Arizona playing from behind frequently.

Under two different offensive coordinators (Drew Petzing and Mike LaFleur), Brissett has produced nearly identical offensive output: 21 PPG in 12 games under Petzing and 20.3 PPG in 7 games under LaFleur. The consistency of mediocre production across scheme changes has prompted the Cardinals organization to evaluate replacing him with Carson Beck, signaling that the QB position is now a focal point for change despite the same underlying offensive performance.

On Jacoby Brissett, Carson Beck, Michael Wilson, and Trey McBride: LaFleur seems likely to keep rolling out Jacoby Brissett Take: This is obviously a clear boost to McBride and Wilson’s short term value - they will all be ranked high this week vs the Cowboys Via @​Cardschatter

Jacoby Brissett is a one-week waiver wire rental for Week 8 against the Cowboys, who offer a top-five matchup. He is widely available at only 27% ownership. However, the source notes he has been underwhelming overall: QB8 by expected fantasy points per game but QB21 by actual fantasy points per game, with bottom-three yards per pass attempt and top-three dropbacks per game, indicating volume-dependent, low-efficiency production. The source expects Carson Beck to appear soon after the Cowboys game, making Brissett a short-term play only.
