Jacoby Brissett News
Friday, August 14, 12:06 AM
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett started the team's second preseason game of the year. Brissett was inactive in last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Panthers, but opened for the Cardinals in their 27-14 win over the Raiders on Thursday night. The ten-year veteran was only on the field for the first drive of the game, but he was very effective. Brissett went 5-for-5 for 44 passing yards on an 11-play drive that culminated in a touchdown throw to Marvin Harrison Jr. After signing a one-year, $15.5 million guaranteed contract in July, Brissett is the presumed starter for the Cardinals going into the 2026 season. Last year, Brissett threw for 3,366 yards and 23 touchdowns to eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts) for Arizona. His next tune-up will come on August 22 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Deshaun Watson News
Wednesday, August 12, 2:39 PM
Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken informed the QBs on Wednesday afternoon that quarterback Deshaun Watson will start the preseason opener against the Chicago Bears on Saturday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Monken plans to start Shedeur Sanders in the team's second preseason game at home against the Buffalo Bills next Saturday. While Watson starting the team's first preseason game could mean he's in the lead over Sanders in Cleveland's QB competition this summer, it also might mean absolutely nothing. Watson and Sanders have been splitting first-team work during training camp, with no clear leader having emerged yet. How the two signal-callers perform in preseason action could be the deciding factor for who will start in Week 1 of the regular season in September. Regardless of who wins the competition for the Browns' starting QB job, they should be avoided in all single-QB formats and considered a low-end QB2 with limited upside and a short leash in two-QB superflex formats.
