Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Jacoby Brissett

Carolina Panthers veteran quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) is active for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and will serve as the backup to Bryce Young, who is returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle sprain, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. The 38-year-old Dalton made his first start of the year in place of the injured Young last weekend and fell flat in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, going 16-for-24 passing for 175 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. The Red Rifle sustained a broken right thumb in the process, which limited him in practice this week. Dalton is apparently good to go as the backup this weekend, though, so third-stringer Mike White will be a healthy scratch.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon announced on Tuesday that quarterback Jacoby Brissett will make a fourth straight start under center for the team's Week 10 divisional matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Cardinals will stick with Brissett for another game while Murray heals from a mid-foot sprain that he suffered back in Week 5, but they are taking things week-to-week at the QB position. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys that Murray is still the team's starter when healthy, but he went back on that statement a day later. The bottom line is that the 32-year-old Brissett has helped improve the offense in his three starts, going 73-for-111 (65.8% completion percentage) with at least two touchdown passes each game. If he continues to play well, the Cardinals could continue to sit Murray on the bench. Brissett will be a low-end QB2 streamer in Week 10 in fantasy on the road against a tough Seahawks defense.
