Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Friday, December 12, 11:24 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is heading into Week 15 after a full week of assurance and confidence as the Cardinals' starting quarterback for the first time this season. The Cardinals announced last week that Kyler Murray (foot) will not return this season, allowing Brissett to focus on playing football instead of worrying about Murray's return. Brissett enters Week 15 as RotoBaller's 20th-ranked quarterback in a nightmare matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans' defense has been the toughest defense for quarterbacks to face this season, allowing only 12.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, according to FanDuel. The Texans' pass defense has surrendered the fewest passing touchdowns and has forced the second-most interceptions in the league, going into Week 15. Brissett will also be without his top wide receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel), for a second straight week. In an unfavorable situation, Brissett will be a risky streaming option for fantasy managers heading into the first round of the fantasy football playoffs.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released third-year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Thompson-Robinson was acquired via trade and a 5th-round pick in a deal that sent Kenny Pickett to the Browns in March. The Eagles traded for Sam Howell earlier on Sunday, and with fellow third-year quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) looking like one of the stars of this year's preseason, Thompson-Robinson became expendable. McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and his status for Week 1 is in doubt. The Eagles' backup quarterback job has been extremely fantasy relevant of late, with Pro Bowler Jalen Hurts missing late-season action in two of the past three seasons. With a plentitude of offensive weapons at their disposal, whoever can hold the job between McKee and Howell will be worth stashing in deep Superflex and dynasty leagues.
