Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Thursday that the team is preparing quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) to start on Monday night in Week 9 versus the Dallas Cowboys. However, Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports is reporting that Murray and backup Jacoby Brissett are splitting reps with the main pass-catchers during the open portion of Thursday's practice. Brissett led off the drills, followed by Murray, which was similar to what happened on Tuesday. Murray missed Weeks 6 and 7 due to a foot sprain, but he's trending in the right direction coming out of the team's Week 8 bye. The report from Drake makes things a little less certain as to whether Murray will actually start over Brissett in a great matchup against Dallas. While Murray is trending up and would be a low-end QB1 in fantasy if he starts, nothing is official just yet.

The Arizona Cardinals are "once again planning to start" veteran Jacoby Brissett at quarterback against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is officially listed as questionable, but it appears a mid-foot sprain will keep him out of a second straight game. Brissett played well in his first start of the season in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts, completing 27 of 44 pass attempts for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 32-year-old gets a tougher matchup in his second start against Green Bay. At best, Brissett profiles as a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats in Week 7.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett may be in line for another spot start while Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable ahead of their Week 7 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The fact that the Cardinals enter their bye week after this game could encourage them to be more cautious with Murray. With that being said, Brissett did lead the Cardinals to their best output through the air in terms of both passing yards and touchdowns. The Packers are the fifth-ranked defense overall, but have given up at least 200 yards and two scores to quarterbacks in their last two games. Murray still has a chance to play in this contest, but if Brissett is under center, fantasy managers in deeper leagues can look to Brissett to provide some value in tough situations.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett led the offense to their most productive game of the season in their Week 6 loss at Indianapolis. Brissett completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. The 320 passing yards and 400 total yards were both season highs for Arizona. When asked why the offense looked so different against the Colts, Gannon said they "tailored the scheme a little bit" during the week in case Brissett ended up starting. The coaching staff made a few adjustments to their base offense to help Brissett feel more comfortable, and the results were encouraging. With Kyler Murray still dealing with a mid-foot sprain, we may see Brissett make a few starts. He could make for a solid add in superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett did an admirable job filling in for the injured Kyler Murray (foot) in his team's 31-27 Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Brissett completed 27 of 44 pass attempts for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 32-year-old also rushed three times for 19 yards. With Murray currently battling a mid-foot sprain, there's a chance Brissett could have an extended runway as the starter in Arizona. Brissett started five games for the New England Patriots in 2024, completing 59% of his passes for 826 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. If he is forced into action once again, Brissett has a tough matchup in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. Still, he could be a valuable pickup for fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is expected to start in Sunday's clash with the Colts. Kyler Murray (foot) still has a chance to play. However, that's unlikely, although NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported that a final decision won't come until Sunday morning. Unfortunately, there's belief Murray might miss extended time due to a mid-foot sprain, meaning Brissett could be under center in Week 6 and beyond. The signal-caller has been a reliable fantasy quarterback (at times) over the years. In 89 regular-season appearances, he has thrown for 11,400 yards, 53 touchdowns, and 24 picks, adding 15 scores on the ground. While Brissett potentially has a tough matchup on tap against a capable Colts' defense, the potential for Murray to be sidelined for more than a game makes him worth adding to fantasy rosters, mostly by those participating in deeper Superflex formats.
Oct 11, 2025 10:13 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has had a handful of solid games as a starter throughout his career. He's not going to do anything flashy or out of this world, but he's been able to manage the game for a few different teams when the starter has gone down. Kyler Murray (foot) is currently considered questionable, and it looks like the team won't make a decision until gameday. If Murray can't suit up, Brissett takes over an offense that doesn't have much of a run game and has to go up against the sixth-toughest defense against opposing QBs in the Indianapolis Colts. The last time Brissett started was in Week 5 of last season with the New England Patriots when he was unable to register any touchdowns and lost 10-15 to the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers will want to avoid Brissett if he does play, as long as they can afford to.
Oct 11, 2025 1:01 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett took first-team reps during Thursday's practice as Kyler Murray (foot) missed his second straight session. Murray's injury appears to be affecting his mobility, and the team may be preparing to roll with Brissett under center for Sunday's matchup against the surging Indianapolis Colts. Brissett last started in 2024 with the New England Patriots, going 1-4 while averaging 5.1yards per attempt. While the veteran brings stability and experience, he lacks the dynamic upside Murray provides both as a passer and runner. Fantasy managers should avoid Brissett outside of deep superflex leagues, as the Cardinals offense faces a difficult challenge on the road against an Indianapolis defense that ranks near the top of the league in takeaways and sacks.
Oct 9, 2025 2:20 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett was only behind center for two drives on Saturday, but made the best of it during the 27-7 loss to the Denver Broncos. The veteran finished the day with 57 yards and a touchdown on 6-for-8 passing, and one carry for two yards. After going three-and-out on the opening drive, Brissett led the team on an 11-play, 67-yard drive that was capped off with a 16-yard touchdown throw to Simi Fehoko. Even though Clayton Tune has been with the team for a couple of years now, Brissett seems to have the backup spot all but locked up.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett turned in a very good performance in the three-point win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the team's preseason opener. The veteran signal-caller finished the game with 81 yards and two touchdowns on 5-for-8 passing and one carry for 10 yards. His first score of the game came on a screen pass to Emari Demercado, while the second was on a great throw to second-year receiver Xavier Weaver in the end zone. Brissett has proven to be a reliable backup option, which could come in handy in case Kyler Murray runs into any health issues throughout the course of this season.
Aug 10, 2025 10:40 AM EST
Free-agent quarterback Jacoby Brissett plans to sign with the Arizona Cardinals, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Brissett, who spent last year with the New England Patriots, will become the new backup to starter Kyler Murray in Arizona. Eleven of Brissett's 53 career starts have come with new Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing as his quarterbacks coach in Cleveland. The 32-year-old Brissett started the 2024 season as the Patriots' starter under center as they waited on first-rounder Drake Maye. In his eight appearances (five starts), Brissett struggled in a lackluster offense without many weapons, going 95-for-161 (59%) with 826 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception as a low-ceiling game manager. He is a respected veteran backup, but the Cardinals offense will be in trouble if Murray misses time with an injury in 2025.

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett relieved rookie Drake Maye (head) during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He finished the first half and was eventually declared the quarterback for the second half, too, after Maye was downgraded to out. Brissett finished Week 8 having completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, plus one sack and 11 rushing yards. He failed to score a touchdown, but more importantly, he played turnover-free football and led an efficient game-winning drive near the end of the fourth quarter. In the event that Maye enters concussion protocol and misses Week 9 against the Titans, Brissett would temporarily return to the starting quarterback role. He's still off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
Oct 27, 2024 11:06 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 18 of 34 passes for 164 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 10 yards and took two sacks. Although it was promising to see Brissett play turnover-free football for the fourth time in five weeks, it was just as frustrating to watch him finish his third game of the year without a single touchdown pass. The veteran failed to lead a potential game-winning drive and still hasn't eclipsed 170 passing yards in a single game this season. Fantasy managers should continue to avoid Brissett, whose job security has dwindled even further as Drake Maye waits in the wings.
Oct 6, 2024 9:37 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett remains off the fantasy radar as he heads into a Week 5 clash with the Miami Dolphins. Brissett has been uninspiring through the first four weeks of the NFL season, tallying just 536 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two turnovers. The veteran remains off the fantasy radar heading into a difficult matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, fourth-fewest interceptions, and second-fewest completions to opposing quarterbacks this season. It's impressive that Miami's defense has fared this well despite being blown out the last three weeks, but that's likely a result of opponents gashing the Dolphins on the ground. Accordingly, we can expect a solid showing from Antonio Gibson and perhaps Rhamondre Stevenson, but Brissett remains a fantasy non-factor.
Oct 5, 2024 1:43 AM EST
New York Times reporter Chad Graff stated on Tuesday that conversations with New England Patriots players and head coach Jerod Mayo indicate that the team believes quarterback Drake Maye is ready to be an NFL starter. However, Jacoby Brissett remains the starter in New England due to the lack of talent in the Patriots' offense. The Patriots are taking a cautious approach to protect Maye and ensure that his confidence does not falter. Ever since training camp, reports have indicated that Maye has been outplaying Brissett. As an NFL veteran, Brissett is better equipped to handle the difficult situation that is the Patriots offense. Brissett has stood no chance behind the Patriots' O-line in 2024. He has only managed to throw for 536 yards and two touchdowns. He has also been sacked 15 times in four games. Maye himself was sacked twice on one drive in limited action in Week 3. NFL fans will likely see Maye as the starter at some point in 2024, but the Patriots appear to have no interest in rushing that process.
Oct 1, 2024 6:42 PM EST
After the New England Patriots' blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4 on Sunday, head coach Jerod Mayo once again reiterated that quarterback Jacoby Brissett is the starter moving forward. "Jacoby is 100% our starter, and that's how we're going to look at this going forward," Mayo said. Brissett went 19-for-32 for 168 yards, one touchdown and a pick-six in the 30-13 loss to the Niners and also fumbled once. A report surfaced before Sunday's game that rookie first-round quarterback Drake Maye isn't exactly close to being ready to take over, so it's more about Maye's progress than Brissett actually earning the gig. Through four weeks, Brissett checks in as the QB32 with 536 passing yards, two touchdowns and a pick in four games while leading New England to a league-worst 13.0 points per game. Even in superflex leagues, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him in Week 5 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins.
Sep 30, 2024 1:04 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 19 of 32 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during a Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He also rushed for three yards and took six sacks behind a depleted offensive line. Furthermore, Brissett fumbled three times, with one of those fumbles being recovered by the defense. The veteran quarterback had not allowed a turnover through the first three games this season, but then he coughed up the football twice on Sunday. New England falls to 1-3 as buzz continues to grow for Drake Maye. For now, though, the offense still belongs to Brissett. He remains the Patriots' starting quarterback heading into a Week 5 clash with the ailing Miami Dolphins. Perhaps this favorable matchup next Sunday will be enough to get the Patriots back in the win column. However, Brissett is still off the fantasy radar given the Patriots' run-heavy approach on offense.
Sep 29, 2024 8:20 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 4 clash with the San Francisco 49ers. The Patriots hoped Brissett could help transition them into the Drake Maye era by opening the season as the starter, playing clean football, and eventually turning over the reins to the No. 3 pick. So far, that has come to fruition as Brissett won the job in Week 1 and has completed 42 passes for 368 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions since then. He hasn't been asked to throw much at all, which has limited his big-play ability. However, he's done a good job taking care of the football, tallying zero turnovers so far. Sacks, on the other hand, have been an issue for the veteran. New England's porous offensive line has allowed Brissett to be taken down nine times this year, including five in Week 3 against the New York Jets. To put it simply, the Patriots are letting Brissett take the dirty work under center until they feel Maye is ready to get game action. We saw the rookie make his NFL debut in the waning minutes of the Jets game, and the expectation is that he'll continue to see more opportunities going forward as he gets acclimated to an NFL style of play. In the interim, Brissett remains the starting quarterback in this run-heavy offense. This week, he's a fantasy QB3 against a 49ers defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest completions this year.
Sep 28, 2024 1:03 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett was given a vote of confidence from his head coach, Jerod Mayo, on Friday morning, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Mayo expressed, "Jacoby is our quarterback until I say he's not our quarterback." This is a good sign for the 31-year-old veteran, as he was lifted from Thursday's game late in the game in favor of rookie Drake Maye. Brissett struggled against a tough New York defense on Thursday, throwing for just 98 yards and completing 12 of his 18 passes. Maye went 4-for-8 with 22 yards in his short-lived professional debut late in the fourth quarter. Fantasy managers in 1QB leagues should continue to leave Brissett on the waiver wire for the time being.
Sep 20, 2024 12:04 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 12 of 18 pass attempts for 98 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers against the New York Jets in Week 3. He also took five sacks, which is a clear indication that New England has a porous offensive line. The unit has specifically been bad in pass protection, which has left Brissett with very little time to get comfortable in the pocket and connect with his receivers. The veteran quarterback has done a great job controlling the football (he has zero turnovers through three games), but his overall yardage and touchdown totals are among the league's worst. Brissett was ultimately relieved by Drake Maye in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game, creating some questions about who will start at quarterback in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. Regardless of that decision, Brissett can be avoided in most fantasy leagues moving forward.
