Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Dameon Pierce

Tuesday, November 4, 12:14 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding five carries for four yards in Monday night's 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett has now thrown for at least 260 yards with two touchdowns in all three games as a starter, filling in for an injured Kyler Murray (foot). The 32-year-old will be hard to send to the bench as he has led the Cardinals to their three highest point totals of the season in his starts. Brissett has helped unlock second-year wideout Marvin Harrison Jr., who set a career high in receptions on Monday night, as well as tight end Trey McBride, who has now scored four touchdowns in Brissett's starts. The veteran has given Arizona their best chance to win, and it will be interesting to see what head coach Jonathan Gannon's decision will be as they head on the road to face the division-leading Seattle Seahawks in Week 10.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce played a season-high 16 snaps and had seven carries for 21 yards in his team's last game before the bye week. However, it was his first game being active since Week 1, and all his work came in the fourth quarter of their blowout win over the Ravens. With Nick Chubb getting early-down work and Woody Marks as a promising prospect for passing downs, Pierce will likely have no role except in mop-up duty or an occasional one-off carry. He is the No. 69-ranked RB in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 7 and is not expected to be a fantasy factor going forward, barring injury to Chubb or Marks.
