Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Baker Mayfield

Sunday, November 23, 9:35 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 33 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in his team's 27-24 overtime Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Since taking over as the Cardinals' starting QB for the injured Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6, Brissett has led one of the league's highest-volume passing attacks. Over his last three games alone, the 32-year-old has attempted a whopping 150 passes. The consistently high volume of throws has helped Brissett put up some impressive counting stats. Across eight games (six starts) in 2025, he's thrown for 1,867 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions. As long as the Cardinals continue to turn to the air at a high rate, Brissett warrants starting consideration from fantasy managers, even in single-QB formats. Arizona will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) sprained his left (non-throwing) shoulder during Sunday night's loss to the Rams and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Mayfield appeared to injure his shoulder after his touchdown pass to Tez Johnson in the second quarter, grabbing at it and grimacing in discomfort. He then made things worse on the final play of the first half on a Hail Mary attempt and didn't return for the second half. The 30-year-old quarterback was on the sidelines with his left arm in a sling for the second half, and the extent of the injury will be known on Monday following the MRI. Teddy Bridgewater took over in his absence and would be in line to start next week against the Cardinals if Mayfield misses time.
