Jacoby Brissett A Superflex Candidate In Pass-Happy Offense

Saturday, October 3, 1:21 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 38 of his 52 pass attempts in Week 3, finishing with 280 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Brissett added a rushing touchdown on a goal-line sneak in the 36-30 loss to the 49ers. Brissett is averaging 39 passes per game and 27.3 completions, good for second-most in the league, and has a 70.1% completion rate through three weeks. Brissett has found success by getting rid of the ball quickly and hitting receivers on short routes, which has given him the third-lowest aDOT and time to throw among starting quarterbacks. In Week 4, Arizona faces the New York Giants, who have been susceptible to such passes, offering opponents the third-highest completion rate and fourth-highest EPA per dropback on short routes. Arizona's high passing volume makes Brissett a dark horse streamer and a qualified starter in two-QB setups for Week 4.

Daniel Jones To See Best Chance For Breakout Game in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:28 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones averages just over 200 passing yards per game, with three passing touchdowns, three interceptions, and two fumbles lost through three games. His return from an Achilles tendon tear hasn't gone according to plan, and he's lucky his team recovered a third fumble he had in Week 3, else they'd potentially be staring down the barrel of 0-3. But he should get better as the weeks go on, and the Colts have faced three tough defenses to start the season. In Week 4, they'll go on the road to face the Washington Commanders, who have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. They were shredded through the air by opposing quarterbacks last season, and are allowing a whopping 8.2 yards per pass attempt to opposing quarterbacks this season, a clip that's fifth-worst in the NFL. Ironically, Indianapolis is one of the few teams allowing more. This game could be a pass-heavy shootout, in which case Jones would be worth starting in 2QB and superflex leagues. He's better off left on the bench in 1QB leagues, though, as the rushing upside he has a season ago has evaporated.
