Jacoby Brissett, Jacoby Brissett in Communication With Cardinals Despite Skipping Workouts
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been skipping voluntary offseason workouts as he waits for a new contract, but head coach Mike LaFleur said the team has been in contact with him, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. "He's played a lot of football, and we're in communication," LaFleur said Friday. "He knows what the expectation is." Brissett has been informed by the team that he is their starting QB for the 2026 season after the organization moved on from Kyler Murray this offseason. The Cardinals added veteran Gardner Minshew in free agency and also drafted QB Carson Beck, but Brissett will be the starter in the desert after his strong 2025 season. After taking over for an injured Murray in Week 6, the 33-year-old former third-rounder by the New England Patriots in 2016 elevated Arizona's pass-happy offense and finished with a career-best 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). It was good enough for a QB15 finish in fantasy scoring. However, in what is expected to be a much more balanced offense under LaFleur in 2026, we're expecting regression from Brissett. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 27 fantasy QB.

Jacoby Brissett, Jacoby Brissett a Clear Sell-High Candidate for Dynasty Managers
After taking over for Kyler Murray as the starter in Week 6, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett put together a surprisingly productive season in 2025. Across 14 games (12 starts), the 33-year-old completed 64.9% of his pass attempts for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Brissett topped 300 passing yards in four games and threw multiple touchdown passes in 10 out of 12 starts. Pass volume was a huge factor in Brissett's success, as he averaged over 40 attempts per game. With a new coaching staff in place in Arizona in 2026, Brissett's numbers are likely to regress. He's also not a lock to remain the starter for the entire season, as the Cardinals used a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on quarterback Carson Beck. Brissett is currently angling for a contract extension with Arizona, and whether he secures it or not could be a telling sign of how the organization feels about him as its long-term QB1. Either way, dynasty managers should be looking to sell high on Brissett, who profiles as a clear regression candidate.

Carson Beck, Could Carson Beck Sit on the Bench for his Entire Rookie Season?
The Arizona Cardinals took former University of Miami quarterback Carson Beck with the first pick in the third round of this year's draft because of his big-game experience, arm strength, size (6-foot-4, 220 pounds), accuracy, toughness, and intangibles. Beck enters a QB room in Arizona that already includes veterans Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. New head coach Mike LaFleur said that "it won't be the worst thing" for Beck if he "ends up sitting for part or all of his rookie season." That won't be anything new for the 24-year-old, who was a backup at Georgia for his first three seasons, including sitting behind current Los Angeles Rams backup QB Stetson Bennett in 2022. "It benefits anyone in any position to be able to sit back," LaFleur said. "Sometimes, guys don't have the choice because you have to put your best 22 out on the field there." The Cardinals have some maneuvering to do with Brissett's contract this year, but that should be taken care of, and he's fully expected to start under center in 2026 after a career season in 2025 in Arizona. Beck has plenty of long-term upside as a dynasty target in fantasy, but he won't be on the redraft radar at all.

Michael Wilson, Michael Wilson Could Actually Benefit From Cardinals' Quarterback Situation
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson was one of the lone bright spots for the team last season, delivering 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns in a breakout campaign. Most of his production came in the second half of the year, too. From Week 11 through Week 18, he averaged 21.2 points per game and ranked as the overall WR2 -- behind Puka Nacua and ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Most of his production came with Jacoby Brissett as the Cardinals' quarterback. While we don't typically think of Brissett as this special playmaker, he was a solid passer for Arizona and supported big production from both Wilson and Trey McBride. The Cardinals could end up finishing last in the NFC West in 2026, as Brissett remains under center but lacks winning upside. Still, he should continue to support fantasy production from Wilson, who gets the best of both worlds. This year, he'll have consistency with Brissett throwing him the football, and next year, he'll presumably get a flashy quarterback upgrade as the Cardinals build out their offense. As long as the Cardinals' new coaching staff is willing to let Wilson prove himself as the alpha receiver over Marvin Harrison Jr., he should continue to rank as a mid-range WR2 option in both redraft and dynasty leagues.

James Conner, James Conner Buried on Cardinals' Depth Chart Heading into 2026
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Conner was present for the start of Arizona's voluntary offseason program in early April, which could be a good sign that he's on track to be ready for the start of the 2026 season. However, Conner now projects as the RB3 in Arizona at best after the Cardinals signed former Atlanta Falcons back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Conner was a productive player as recently as 2024, when he recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. Still, with Conner entering his age-31 season and coming off foot surgery, Arizona clearly prioritized upgrading at the position with its offseason moves. Barring a change of scenery before the start of the season, Conner's dynasty value is plummeting.
