Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Cooper Rush

Saturday, November 1, 7:51 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is set to start another game, and he draws a favorable matchup. The veteran QB has started the last two games and amassed 599 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 52-for-80 and 9 carries for 45 yards in that time. Despite going 0-2, Brissett has looked better than Kyler Murray this season and has a 97.7 passer rating compared to Murray's 88.6. In their Week 9 matchup, the Dallas Cowboys give up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks at 24.93 per game and have allowed 20 passing touchdowns compared to just four interceptions. With the receiving corps ready to play, Brissett comes in as a high-end QB2 and could be a solid streaming option for fantasy managers needing a fill-in.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush was benched during Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He has been replaced by Tyler Huntley, who is currently on his third stint with the organization. Rush has struggled immensely while filling in for Lamar Jackson (hamstring). Last week, he had 179 yards and three interceptions. This week, through three quarters of play before being benched, he amassed 72 yards, one interception, and one last fumble. Trailing by multiple possessions in the final quarter, Baltimore decided that a change was necessary. The pivot to Huntley gives the Ravens a more mobile and athletic option under center. He'll likely quarterback the Ravens for the rest of Sunday's contest and could be in the conversation to start Baltimore's next game in Week 8 if Jackson remains sidelined.
