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.
Jacoby Brissett has scored at least 23.4 Fantasy points in every start he has made this year. This week, he is facing a Jacksonville defense that has only held one QB below 20 points in their last seven games. Brissett isn't just a good streamer; he is top 10 in my projections this week. He probably will be next week against the Buccaneers as well.

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.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Brissett lost two fumbles in a 44-22 loss to Seattle in Week 10, but he still had 258 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with 31 rushing yards. He's now scored at least 23.4 Fantasy points in four starts in a row for the injured Kyler Murray (foot), who was placed on injured reserve last week. Brissett is a great streaming option in Week 11 against the reeling 49ers, and then he gets to face Jacksonville in Week 12 and Tampa Bay in Week 13. Brissett could be a surprise Fantasy quarterback to close the year, and he's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Mixed results in blowout loss
Rotowire
Brissett completed 22 of 44 pass attempts for 258 yards and two touchdowns while gaining 31 yards on four carries and losing two fumbles in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
Brissett's improbable victory over the Cowboys last week was put out of mind after Arizona was greeted by the Seahawks with a 35-0 deficit in the first half. The veteran signal-caller salvaged his day by compiling stats in garbage time, producing his fourth straight start of 250 or more passing yards and two touchdowns thrown. Brissett has great shot at extending his streak of fantasy production against an injury-riddled 49ers defense next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Set for at least four more starts
Rotowire
Brissett is in line to make at least more four starts while Kyler Murray (foot) is on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon gave conflicting statements earlier this week when reporters asked if Murray is still viewed as the starting QB when healthy. Whatever the case, Murray is now ineligible for the next four games despite being listed as a limited practice participant on recent injury reports. He's recovering from a mid-foot sprain, with Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting that the QB was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-8 weeks (in which case the practice participation may have been gamesmanship). Arizona's passing attack has looked better with Brissett at the helm, but a trip to Seattle this Sunday will be arguably his toughest test yet.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Brissett started his third game in a row Monday night at Dallas in place of Kyler Murray (foot) and passed for 261 yards and two touchdowns, along with 4 rushing yards and a touchdown. Brissett has now scored at least 23.8 Fantasy points in each outing, and he's getting at least one more start in Week 10 at Seattle. It's not an easy matchup, but Brissett's two starts prior to facing the Cowboys were at Indianapolis and against Green Bay. It's worth adding Brissett in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB, and we'll see what happens after the Seahawks game between Brissett and Murray for the rest of the year.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Shines in third straight start
Rotowire
Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns while taking five carries for four yards and a third score in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.
Brissett continued to air the ball out while making his third straight start filing in for injured starter Kyler Murray (foot). Unlike his previous two outings, the veteran backup was able to secure victory for Arizona in an upset win on the road over Dallas on Monday Night Football. The 32-year-old Brissett is averaging 286.7 passing yards with a pair of touchdown passes thrown in each of his three spot-starts this year. Murray has been practicing in a limited fashion since Oct. 10, so Brissett's unexpected run of fantasy utility could come to an abrupt end if the former returns in Week 10. Managers should hang on to Brissett until an official announcement is made, as the journeyman's hot play could warrant starting consideration against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Brissett took most of the first-team snaps during the media-access portion of practice Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
The implication is that Brissett is preparing for a third straight start in place of Kyler Murray (foot), although gamesmanship by coach Jonathan Gannon can't be ruled out at this point. Whatever the case, it's a tough situation for fantasy managers with the Cardinals facing the Cowboys on Monday Night Football this week. Gannon said Thursday that he was preparing Murray to start, while reports from Thursday's practice suggested Murray mostly worked with backups (the same thing was reported Friday).

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Tosses two TDs in Week 7 start
Rotowire
Brissett completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Packers. He added 26 rushing yards on six carries and lost a fumble.
Making his second straight start in place of Kyler Murray (foot), Brissett had another productive performance as he connected with Trey McBride for a 15-yard score in the second quarter and a 12-yard strike in the third. The veteran QB has thrown for 599 yards in place of Murray -- the best two-game stretch of his career -- with a 4:1 TD:INT, but with Arizona on bye in Week 8, Brissett may be returning to the bench for a Week 9 tilt against the Cowboys' porous defense.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Slated to start vs. Green Bay
Rotowire
The Cardinals are planning to start Brissett against the Packers on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Cardinals are on a bye Week 8, and it appears they will give Kyler Murray additional time to heal from a mid-foot sprain and target a potential return for Week 9 against the Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 3. That puts Brissett in line for a second-straight start while Kedon Slovis serves as the backup quarterback. Brissett played well during Arizona's Week 6 loss to Indianapolis, with the veteran quarterback completing 27 of 44 passes (61.4 percent) for 320 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 19 rushing yards on three carries.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Strong showing in emergency start
Rotowire
Brissett completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 19 yards in the Cardinals' 31-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Brissett was called on for the first of what could be multiple starts due to Kyler Murray's foot injury, and the veteran signal-caller delivered in signature fashion. Brissett started slowly but picked up steam despite losing Marvin Harrison to a concussion, leaning heavily on Zay Jones, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson throughout the afternoon. The veteran signal-caller hit McBride and Greg Dortch from one and 12 yards out, respectively for his pair of touchdowns, and he had Arizona in position to take the lead after marching his team 78 yards in 10 plays before a fourth-down incompletion on a play where there may have been some pass interference on McBride. Murray could remain out for a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers, a development that would tee up Brissett for another start

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Getting start in place of Murray
Rotowire
Brissett is starting Sunday's game at Indianapolis with Kyler Murray (foot) inactive, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Brissett has been preparing to lead the Cardinals offense Week 6 due to Murray's foot injury, which was described as a mid-foot sprain by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Saturday evening that may require more than one week on the sideline. With Murray confirmed to be out this Sunday, Brissett will earn a start for the fifth different team in his 10-year career. He went 1-4 last season as a member of the Patriots, when he completed 79 of 135 passes (58.5 percent) for 696 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, had 12 carries for 51 yards and no TDs and fumbled three times (one lost) in those nods.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Expected to get starting nod Sunday
Rotowire
Brissett is likely to start at quarterback for the Cardinals against the Colts on Sunday, as Kyler Murray (foot) remains listed as questionable but is expected to be inactive for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Murray's foot injury is a "version of a Lisfranc injury" and could keep him out of action for more than one week. Arizona hasn't yet officially ruled out Murray for Sunday's matchup, but Brissett looks in line to serve as the club's starter against the Colts, with whom he played four seasons from 2017 through 2020. Brissett has taken just four offensive snaps and thrown just one pass this season, but he has ample NFL experience and completed 95 of 161 pass attempts for 826 yards and two touchdowns along with one interception as a member of the Patriots in 2024. He also rushed 15 times for 62 yards.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sharp in preseason loss
Rotowire
Brissett completed six of eight passes for 57 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Cardinals' 27-7 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday night. He also rushed once for two yards.
Brissett and the Cardinals' offense started slowly with a five-play drive that culminated in a punt, but the second possession was a different story. The veteran signal-caller helmed an 11-play, 67-yard march he capped off with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Simi Fehoko and in which he recorded five completions overall. Brissett had 12- and 17-yard connections with Andre Baccellia and Xavier Weaver during the drive, and he was done for the night following the scoring toss. Brissett is firmly entrenched as Kyler Murray's primary backup as the regular season approaches.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Going to Arizona
Rotowire
Brissett is slated to sign a contract with the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Brissett's arrival in Arizona will mark his sixth different organization as he prepares for the 10th campaign of his career. Overall, he's made 53 starts in 87 appearances, including five of eight in his second stint with the Patriots last season. Brissett will slot into the backup QB role behind starter Kyler Murray while Clayton Tune slides to No. 3 on the depth chart.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Leads comeback win in relief
Rotowire
Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, without a touchdown or interception, after replacing Drake Maye (concussion) in the first half of Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. Brissett added three rushing attempts for 11 yards and threw a two-point conversion.
Brissett led the Patriots to an upset win with a pair of second-half touchdown drives, both of which were capped by Rhamondre Stevenson touchdown runs. The veteran quarterback threw a two-point conversion to Stevenson after the running back's second rushing score, which came with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Brissett started New England's first five games but has only two touchdown passes this season, so he won't be an appealing fantasy option if Maye is unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the Patriots head to Tennessee for a Week 9 matchup that could have significant implications near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Patriots' Jacoby Brissett: Could lose starting role
Rotowire
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was non-committal Monday when asked if Brissett would retain the starting quarterback job heading into Sunday's game against the Texans, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports. "All positions are always being evaluated. We haven't had our full staff meeting. That's a conversation, not only at [the quarterback] spot but all the spots, of how to get better as a football team," Mayo said, when asked if Brissett gives the team the best chance to win.
The Patriots have limped to a 1-4 start to the season while Brissett has completed just 58.5 percent of his passes for 5.2 yards per attempt and a 2:1 TD:INT through his five starts. While shoddy play from the offensive line and below-average talent at the skill positions hasn't helped him, Brissett enjoyed a relatively clean pocket in this past Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins and still misfired on several key throws that could have made a difference. Mayo and his staff will take Brissett's body of work through the first five weeks into consideration before deciding whether to stick with the 31-year-old journeyman as the team's starter or turn the offense over to 2024 third overall pick Drake Maye.
