Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In Week 3 at San Francisco, we got the Brissett performance we've been waiting for when he was 38-of-52 passing for 280 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, and he added a rushing touchdown for 29.6 Fantasy points. He has two favorable upcoming matchups at the Giants in Week 3 and against Detroit in Week 4, and Brissett is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues in those outings. He should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Solid numbers in high-scoring loss
Rotowire
Brissett completed 38 of 52 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed four times for four yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Brissett put together one of his signature stat lines, parlaying massive passing volume into a solid yardage figure while remaining free of turnovers. The veteran signal-caller's pass-distribution profile was also on brand, as a whopping 28 of his pass attempts went in the direction of Michael Wilson (17 targets) and Trey McBride (11 targets). Brissett hit Wilson (five yards) and Jeremiyah Love (one yard) for his pair of touchdown passes, marking his first multi-TD tally of the season. Brissett is averaging a typically conservative 5.6 yards per attempt over his first three games, but he's thrown for over 275 yards in two of his first three games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Brissett has been a mediocre Fantasy quarterback so far in two games against the Chargers and Seahawks, combining for just 26.9 Fantasy points over that span. But this could be his breakout game in 2026 in Week 3 at San Francisco. The Cardinals will likely be chasing points, and the 49ers are without pass rusher Nick Bosa (calf). Brissett played one game against San Francisco in 2025 and was 47-of-57 passing for 452 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for 25.9 Fantasy points. I like Brissett as a low-end starter in one-quarterback leagues and a must-start option in Superflex and two-quarterback formats.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Brissett has yet to top 20 Fantasy points in two games against the Chargers and Seahawks, but he remains a low-end starter in all one-quarterback leagues heading into Week 3 at San Francisco. He scored 25.9 Fantasy points in one game against the 49ers last season in Week 11 and hopefully, he can repeat that level of production this week. Brissett is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Ineffective against Seattle
Rotowire
Brissett completed 17 of 28 passes for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception while also adding a seven-yard rush in Sunday's 31-7 loss to Seattle.
Brissett struggled to push the ball down the field against the Seahawks' vaunted secondary, and as a result, he was limited to just 5.4 yards per completion. The quarterback was able to connect with tight end Trey McBride for a two-yard score to open the second quarter, but that was the only bright spot on the day for the 33-year-old. He attempted to find wide receiver Michael Wilson deep down the left sideline in the third quarter, but Julian Love jumped in front of it for his the safety's second interception of the year. Brissett has proven to be more than capable of producing positive results for fantasy managers in his time with the Cardinals, and his next chance to get back on track will come Week 3 against the 49ers on the road.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Brissett had a solid outing in Week 1 at the Chargers with 18.5 Fantasy points, and he has now reached that total in 12 of his past 13 games going back to last season. One of those games was at Seattle in Week 10 last year when Brissett was 22-of-44 passing for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, along with four carries for 31 yards and two fumbles. He was sacked five times in that game, and I expect him to be under heavy pressure in this matchup again. He's a solid starter in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, but I'm not ready to use Brissett in one-quarterback leagues yet.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Stellar numbers in Week 1 upset
Rotowire
Brissett completed 27 of 37 passes for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Brissett helped the Cardinals set an immediate tone for a potential upset on the team's first drive of the season, when he led Arizona on an 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated with Jeremiyah Love's five-yard touchdown run. The veteran signal-caller proceeded to put together a performance highly reminiscent of several of his 2025 starts that earned him an extension this summer and the starting role to open the new campaign. Brissett connected with Trey McBride for his one touchdown pass from three yards out early in the fourth quarter, and his afternoon also included a 27-yard connection with McBride and a picturesque 33-yard rainbow down the left sideline to Marvin Harrison that was dropped in perfectly. Brissett will look to build on the stellar effort in a tough Week 2 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Starting QB on depth chart
Rotowire
Brissett is listed with the first-team offense on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart.
After Arizona released Kyler Murray in March, the team signed Gardner Minshew in free agency and then rounded out the QB room by drafting Carson Beck (ribs) in the third round of the 2026 Draft. Despite those notable additions, Brissett was expected to be the starter, and as a result he held a hold-in during the offseason program and at the starting training camp before agreeing to a revised contract with the team on July 26. Brissett made a cameo in preseason Week 1 versus the Raiders, completing all five of his passes for 44 yards and a touchdown strike to Marvin Harrison. Considering he'll have TE Trey McBride, WRs Harrison and Michael Wilson and RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Tyler Allgeier at his disposal, Brissett very well may produce like he did during his 12-game starting stint to end last season. Whether that'll be enough for Brissett to hold on to the No. 1 gig throughout the campaign is up in the air, especially with Beck waiting in the wings.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Won't play in Saturday's preseason contest
Rotowire
Coach Mike LaFleur said Thursday that Brissett won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
After a crisp preseason Week 1 in which he competed all five of his passes for 44 yards and one touchdown last Thursday at Las Vegas, Brissett will take a seat for the Cardinals' second exhibition, ceding the start to backup QB Gardner Minshew. Meanwhile, Carson Beck "most likely" won't be healthy enough to play through his rib injury, meaning Minshew and Kedon Slovis will handle signal-caller duties Saturday. After inking a reworked contract with Arizona in late July, Brissett again will lead the offense come Week 1.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Completes all five passes Thursday
Rotowire
Brissett completed all five of his passes for 44 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 27-14 preseason win in Las Vegas.
In his first game action since agreeing to a reworked contract in late July, Brissett connected with WR Michael Wilson (twice for 23 yards), first-round rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (once for two yards), WR Kendrick Bourne (one time for 12 yards) and WR Marvin Harrison (a seven-yard TD). Meanwhile, standout TE Trey McBride logged just one play before hitting the sidelines. This was one exhibition contest with Brissett working with the first-team offense, but the offensive scheme under new coach Mike LaFleur appears to be running on all cylinders roughly one month before the regular season kicks off.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Coach Mike LaFleur said Tuesday that Brissett and the rest of the Cardinals' starters will play one or two possessions during Thursday's preseason game at Las Vegas, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
LaFleur held out Arizona's starters in last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game versus the Panthers, but Brissett and the rest of the first-team offense are slated to get some run this week. Brissett will likely be throwing passes to the Cardinals' top skill-position talents, including rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love, WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Signs new deal with Arizona
Rotowire
Brissett and the Cardinals agreed to a reworked contract Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Brissett's new deal will increase his 2026 compensation to $15.5 million guaranteed and up to $21 million with incentives, meaning he'll still become an unrestricted free agent after this season. It ends a stalemate in contract negotiations between the veteran quarterback and the Cardinals that started in mid-April right before the 2026 NFL Draft, which led to Brissett sitting out of OTAs before reporting to mandatory minicamp and training camp. Now that talks have resolved with a restructured contract, Brissett can focus his efforts toward training camp and strengthening his hold on the starting quarterback job, with Gardner Minshew and rookie third-round pick Carson Beck battling for the backup role. Brissett is coming off a career year in 2025, when he completed 64.9 percent of passes for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions across 14 regular-season games (12 starts).

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Reports to training camp
Rotowire
Brissett reported to training camp Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Per Garafolo, there's nothing new to report on Brissett's contract status, but the QB is at least at training camp along with the rest of his Cardinals teammates. How much Brissett does once practice starts remains to be seen, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously noted that the two sides have been actively negotiating for the last several months toward an amended deal designed to give the veteran signal caller -- who is projected to start for Arizona -- the raise he wants.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Expected to report to camp
Rotowire
Brissett is expected to report to the start of the Cardinals' training camp Wednesday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
Brissett will presumably attend the start of training camp for Arizona, but the veteran quarterback could still stage a 'hold-in' due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Coach won't name starting QB
Rotowire
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur declined Wednesday to name a starting quarterback, though Brissett reported for the start of mandatory minicamp on Monday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
LaFleur's lack of an answer when asked about Arizona's starting quarterback may partially be posturing, after Brissett held out of voluntary workouts earlier in the offseason due to dissatisfaction with his current contract. It wouldn't be out of the question, however, for the Cardinals to host a competition that includes backup Gardner Minshew and rookie third-rounder Carson Beck if the team suspects Brissett will enact a "hold in" as the offseason progresses. Brissett is heading into the final season of his two-year deal and is slated to carry a $4.88 million salary in 2026. Earlier in the offseason, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports that Arizona informed Brissett (who was in attendance for Tuesday's minicamp practice but did not participate) he would be the team's starter for 2026.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Expected to report to minicamp
Rotowire
Brissett is expected to report to the Cardinals' minicamp this week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Brissett has been away from the team as he's been holding out to get an increase in pay for the 2026 campaign, but the quarterback will at least be in attendance this week. It's unclear how much he'll participate, but his arrival is still a notable development. Brissett is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns while throwing eight interceptions over 14 contests with Arizona.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Remains away from team
Rotowire
Brissett was not present for the first day of the final week of Arizona's voluntary OTAs on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Brissett continues to hold out as he seeks a reworked contract for 2026. He's yet to show up at Arizona's OTAs, though the sessions so far have been voluntary. However, the Cardinals begin mandatory minicamp next Monday, so the situation could escalate if Brissett remains absent then (assuming he hasn't gotten the new deal he desires).

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Still far from new deal
Rotowire
The Cardinals and Brissett haven't made inroads on an amended contract, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
According to Weinfuss, the two sides are "significantly" far apart on a new deal, and Brissett will continue to stay away from Arizona's offseason program without one, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Brissett is seeking an increase in the $1.5 million in guarantees on his current contract for 2026, which likely was spurred by the combination of his output from his 12 starts last season (3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 65.1 percent passing), the fact offseason signing Gardner Minshew has $5.14 million in guaranteed money for the upcoming campaign, and the Cardinals drafting Carson Beck in the third round of this year's draft. The situation could gain clarity as the team draws closer to mandatory minicamp (June 8-10), as Brissett's continued absence then would be subject to fines.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Not present for voluntary OTAs
Rotowire
Brissett was not present for the start of voluntary OTAs on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The veteran quarterback has stayed away from the team this offseason, as he's seeking a raise for the 2026 campaign. Coming off a career year in 2025, which saw Brissett complete 315 of 485 passes (64.9 percent) for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions, the 33-year-old is looking for more money and possibly more years on his contract. Brissett currently is scheduled to collect $5.44 million in 2026, which would put him 26th at the quarterback position. There's been no indication that Arizona is actively discussing a new deal with Brissett. The Cardinals are in a full-blown rebuild and used a third-round pick on Carson Beck last month after signing Gardner Minshew in free agency. Even if Brissett opens the season as Arizona's starter, there's a good chance Beck makes rookie-year starts.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Still absent, but dialogue ongoing
Rotowire
Brissett remains absent from the Cardinals' offseason program, but coach Mike LaFleur said Friday that the veteran quarterback has "played a lot of football, and we're in communication," Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. "He knows what the expectation is," LaFleur added.
In the wake of Arizona releasing Kyler Murray and then signing only Gardner Minshew in free agency, Brissett wasn't given an assurances that he'd be the team's starting signal-caller in 2026, per Weinfuss. Brissett thus has stayed away from the early stages of the offseason program as he seeks a raise to starter-level money, as his current contract includes just $1.5 million in guarantees, while Minshew's deal ensures $5.14 million this season. Brissett went only 1-11 as the Cardinals' starting QB in 2025, but he took advantage of high volume in those contests, completing 315 of 484 passes (65.1 percent) for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. The team added Carson Beck in the third round of this year's draft, but according to Weinfuss's report Friday, Brissett has been informed by the Cards that he's the starter for 2026.
