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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: QBs to Start
Rotowire
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.

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).
