Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Curtis Samuel

Tuesday, November 11, 9:50 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has posted solid numbers since moving into the starting role, and he'll keep the starting job while Kyler Murray (foot) spends at least the next three weeks on IR. Brissett has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his four starts and has thrown for exactly two touchdowns in each outing. He added a touchdown run as well in the team's win over the Cowboys in Week 9, and in Week 10, he threw for 258 passing yards on 44 pass attempts against the Seahawks. Coach Jonathan Gannon has shown plenty of trust in Brissett to air it out, and this week, he has a favorable matchup against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, so Brissett is definitely worth a look as a streaming option or as a QB2 in Week 11.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck, ribs) is officially inactive for the Monday night contest on the road against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. In addition to Samuel, the Bills' offense will be missing tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) against what has been a much-improved Atlanta defense so far in 2025. The 29-year-old Samuel hasn't been on the fantasy radar to begin with, but his absence on Monday means less depth in the wideout corps for Buffalo behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer. The Bills have their bye coming in Week 7, so hopefully Samuel will be ready to go for a Week 8 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Samuel has only been active for two games so far in 2025 and has caught three of his four targets for 35 yards and one touchdown. He had just one TD in 14 games a year ago for Buffalo and should remain on the waiver wire.
