Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Career year in Arizona
Rotowire
Brissett completed 22 of 31 pass attempts for 243 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while gaining 19 yards and losing a fumble on three carries in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Rams.
Brissett rallied Arizona in the second half with touchdown passes to WR Michael Wilson and TE Josiah Deguara to give his club a 20-16 lead. That woke up Matthew Stafford and the Rams' offense, who then responded with three touchdowns to hand the Cardinals their ninth straight loss to end the year. Brissett was one of the few bright spots for Arizona in a forgettable 2025 campaign. The journeyman backup took over for an injured and struggling Kyler Murray back in Week 6 and played so well that head coach Jonathan Gannon named Brissett the starter for the rest of the year. The 32-year-old Brissett became a hot fantasy add while posting career highs in passing yards (3,367) and touchdown passes (23) across 12 starts. Both Murray and Brissett are under contract with the Cardinals for the 2026 season, so it will be interesting to see how the franchise handles its QB situation this upcoming offseason.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Brissett didn't have a great game in Week 17 at Cincinnati, but he threw a late touchdown to Trey McBride to finish with 20.5 Fantasy points. He's now reached that total in 10 of 11 starts for the Cardinals, including Week 14 against the Rams when he scored 23.1 points. We don't know if the Rams will rest starters on defense since their playoff fate could be decided after Saturday's game between San Francisco and Seattle, so Brissett might have an easier matchup than expected. But four of the past five quarterbacks against the Rams have scored at least 23.1 Fantasy points, and Brissett is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 18.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Tosses two TDs in rout
Rotowire
Brissett completed 21 of 37 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals.
The Cardinals defense had no success at all slowing down Joe Burrow, so Brissett's efforts -- which included a 38-yard TD to Michael Wilson in the second quarter and an 18-yard score to Trey McBride in the fourth -- didn't make much impact. The veteran has tossed multiple touchdowns in nine of his 11 starts this season, posting a 21:7 TD:INT over that stretch as he makes a case for a starting job in 2026, whether with Arizona or someone else. With an undrafted rookie in Kedon Slovis as his backup, Brissett could still be under center in Week 18 against the Rams, even with nothing on the line for the Cards but draft position.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Brissett turned into a pumpkin at the wrong time in Week 16 against Atlanta when he was the Start of the Week. He only scored 12.6 Fantasy points, which ended his nine-game streak of scoring at least 20.7 points, but I expect him to get back on track in Week 17 at Cincinnati. And, hopefully, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride won't drop touchdowns like they did against the Falcons. The Bengals have only allowed one quarterback in the past five games to score at least 20 Fantasy points, but for the season nine guys have scored at least 20.5 points against this defense. I expect Brissett to make it 10, and he's worth trusting as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Struggles in loss to Falcons
Rotowire
Brissett completed 16 of 31 pass attempts for 203 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking his only carry for five yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to Atlanta.
Brissett barely completed 50 percent of his pass attempts in his worst start since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) back in Week 6. The 27-year-old Brissett recorded his lowest passing yardage total through 10 starts while being held to a single touchdown scored for just the second time this year. Brissett had been a revelation over his previous nine appearances with the Cardinals, so fantasy managers can hold out hope for a bounce-back effort in a soft matchup against Cincinnati in Week 17.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Start of the Week
Rotowire
It's amazing what Jacoby Brissett has done this season since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. And it's amazing that Fantasy managers still don't want to trust him. But we are all in since me, Dave Richard and Heath Cummings have Brissett ranked No. 3 at quarterback in Week 16. The only quarterbacks we have ahead of him are Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts, but we expect Brissett to be awesome against Atlanta. He has scored at least 20.7 Fantasy points in all nine starts in place of Murray, including three games with at least 25.9 points. One of those was last week at Houston when he passed for 249 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He has multiple touchdowns in eight of nine games and four outings with at least 300 passing yards. And Brissett should stay hot against the Falcons, who have allowed three quarterbacks in a row and four of the past five guys to score at least 23.2 Fantasy points. Brissett has been a savior for Fantasy managers as one of the best players off the waiver wire this season, regardless of position. And he should help you make it to the Fantasy championship with another strong game in Week 16.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Top DFS Play

Brissett has scored at least 23 points in his last three starts and seven of his eight starts this season. He is still underpriced against the Falcons this week. I would not be surprised if he tops 25 points for the fourth time this season.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Three TDs not enough in Week 15
Rotowire
Brissett completed 27 of 40 passes for 249 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans. He added six rushing yards on three carries.
For the second straight game, the Arizona defense coughed up at least 40 points, letting another strong performance from Brissett go to waste. The three TDs -- two to Trey McBride and one to Michael Wilson -- were a season high for the veteran QB, but Brissett has tossed multiple scores in eight of the last nine games, posting an impressive 18:6 TD:INT since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. Brissett will look to establish a new career high in passing TDs on the season in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Brissett is more of a bust alert than a must-sit quarterback, but this will be a tough test for him in Week 15 at Houston. The Texans are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks and have held Josh Allen in Week 12 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 14 to 8.1 Fantasy points or less in each outing. Brissett has been on fire since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) with eight games in a row with at least 20.7 Fantasy points, including tough matchups against Green Bay, Seattle and the Rams. But he won't have left tackle Paris Johnson (knee) in this game, and that makes it even tougher to trust Brissett in one-quarterback leagues. He's only an option in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Throws two TDs in blowout loss
Rotowire
Brissett completed 25 of 44 pass attempts for 271 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 22 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.
Brissett got off to a hot start when he drove his team down the field for a touchdown pass on the game's opening possession. The veteran signal-caller was clamped down from there salvaging his day from a fantasy perspective with a garbage-time touchdown in the fourth quarter. Brissett's three-game streak of reaching 300 passing yards came to an end Sunday, but he is still posting voluminous passing numbers while starting for the fledgling Cardinals. Kyler Murray (foot) has still not been reinstated off injured reserve, leaving Brissett to handle a rough road matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Start of the Week
Rotowire
Obviously, when the season started, I never expected to have Jacoby Brissett as a Start of the Week. And even after he took over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6, I didn't think he would become a solid Fantasy quarterback. But here we are in Week 14, and Brissett has scored at least 20.7 Fantasy points in seven games in a row, while averaging 24.4 Fantasy points per game over that span. And he should have another quality outing against the Rams. Now, I know what you're thinking, that this is a difficult matchup. After all, the Rams are No. 9 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. But on the road, the Rams have allowed four of six quarterbacks to score at least 19.6 Fantasy points, and the only two who failed to reach that mark were Cam Ward in Week 2 and the Ravens without Lamar Jackson in Week 6. And Mac Jones and Bryce Young each scored at least 29.1 Fantasy points against Los Angeles in the past two road games. While Brissett likely won't have Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel), he has already excelled in tough matchups against Indianapolis (24.7 Fantasy points), Green Bay (23.8) and Seattle (23.4). Volume has been key with at least 40 pass attempts in four games in a row, and I expect that to continue in Week 14. I'm willing to trust Brissett as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in this matchup.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Top DFS Play

Brissett has scored at least 19 FanDuel points in every start he has made. He has topped 23 FanDuel points in more than half of his starts. He is still reasonably priced and should throw more than 40 times against the Rams.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: To start again in Week 14
Rotowire
Coach Jonathan Gannon announced Monday that Kyler Murray (foot) won't be designated for return from injured reserve this week, setting up Brissett for another start Sunday versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
During Murray's current seven-game absence as he tends to a mid-foot sprain, Brissett has eclipsed 300 yards passing four times and tossed exactly two touchdowns on six occasions. Overall, Brissett has completed 67.8 percent of his passes (204 of 301) for 2,188 yards with a 13:4 TD:INT while adding 26 carries for 114 yards and another score during that span. In Week 14, he'll be taking on a Rams defense that has surrendered the seventh-fewest yards per attempt (6.5) to opposing quarterbacks this season, so the sledding may be a bit tougher for Brissett this time around.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Over 300-yard mark again Sunday
Rotowire
Brissett completed 29 of 40 passes for 301 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding three carries for 16 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Brissett put together another impressive statistical showing in the return of Marvin Harrison from a two-game absence due to an appendectomy. Brissett connected with his No. 1 wideout on six occasions for 69 yards, and he spread the ball around to seven different pass catchers overall. The veteran signal-caller had the ball in his hands with a chance to drive the Cardinals into position for a potential game-tying field goal late in the fourth quarter, but Brissett threw incomplete on consecutive plays to snuff out that possibility and turn the ball over on downs. Despite Sunday's loss, Brissett has effectively moved the offense each week, and considering Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday that Kyler Murray (IR, foot), despite being eligible to have his practice window opened this coming week, still isn't fully recovered, Brissett appears highly likely to remain the starter in a Week 14 home matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: QBs to Start
Rotowire
I nearly made Brissett my Start of the Week for Week 13, and he should stay hot in this matchup at Tampa Bay. Brissett has scored at least 20.7 Fantasy points in six games in a row since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot), and Brissett has 769 passing yards in his past two outings against San Francisco and Jacksonville. Three quarterbacks in a row have scored at least 22.1 Fantasy points against the Buccaneers, including Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford combining for 77.6 Fantasy points in the past two games. Brissett has top-10 upside in Week 13.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Throws for over 300 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Brissett completed 33 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards and a touchdown while taking three carries for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Jacksonville in overtime.
Brissett continued his gun-slinging ways by eclipsing 300 passing yards for the third time in six starts filling in for Kyler Murray (foot). The 32-year-old Brissett failed to extend his streak of throwing multiple touchdown passes to six games, but it was still another impressive effort from a fantasy perspective. Brissett did leave the game briefly in the second half to be evaluated by the medical staff after taking a big hit, but he promptly returned to action and finished the remainder of the game plus overtime without issue. The journeyman backup has already been named Arizona's starter for the remainder of the season, so fantasy managers who took a chance on Brissett during his current run as starter can feel comfortable continuing to roll him out on a weekly basis. The Cardinals will hit the road in Week 13 to face the Buccaneers, who currently sit in the bottom third of the league in terms yards allowed to opposing quarterbacks.

Brissett comes into Week 12 having scored at least 23.4 Fantasy points in five games in a row since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. He's attempted at least 44 passes in three of those games, and he has two outings with at least 320 yards. This week, Brissett faces a Jaguars defense that has allowed at least 21.7 Fantasy points to six of their past seven opposing quarterbacks, including four guys scoring at least 28.7 points. I like Brissett as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues in Week 12.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Brissett has turned into a must-start Fantasy quarterback since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot), and he should be added in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB. In five starts for Murray, Brissett has scored at least 23.4 Fantasy points in each outing, including three games with at least 44 pass attempts. He has great matchups in his next two games against Jacksonville in Week 12 and at Tampa Bay in Week 13, but then he faces the Rams in Week 14 and at Houston in Week 15. We'll worry about those games when we get there, but I love him against the Jaguars this week.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sets NFL record for completions
Rotowire
Brissett completed 47 of 57 passes for 452 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed twice for minus-2 yards during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.
Working without No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (concussion) on Sunday, Brissett set an NFL regular-season record for a single game with his 47 completions, helping fuel a pair of 100-yard receiving efforts from WR Michael Wilson (15-185-0 on 18 targets) and TE Trey McBride (10-115-1 on 11 targets). The pass-heavy approach from the Cardinals likely was spurred by being down double-digit points as soon as the 13:39 mark of the second quarter, and the closest margin after that point was nine points before the 49ers tacked on a pair of field goals in the last 1:01 of the first half. In five starts in place of Kyler Murray (foot, IR), Brissett has averaged 314 yards per game to go with a 10:3 TD:INT on 67 percent passing. Brissett's next chance to continue leading Arizona's offense is next Sunday versus the Jaguars.
Brissett has scored at least 23 Fantasy points in all four of his starts including games against the Packers and Seahawks. It isn't always pretty, but the production has been reliable. The 49ers have given up 90 Fantasy points combined to C.J. Stroud, Jaxson Dart, and Matthew Stafford the past three weeks. Michael Penix is the only QB to score fewer than 20 points against the 49ers in their last six games.
