Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Easton Stick

Friday, November 7, 10:12 AM

With the news that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will miss at least four more games after being placed on Injured Reserve, veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett should have an extended runway as the team's starter. Since being inserted under center for Arizona in Week 6, the 32-year-old has thrown for 860 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception across three games played. Brissett seems to have given the Cardinals' offense new life, as the team is averaging 25.7 points per game in his starts after averaging 20.6 points per contest with Murray under center. Brissett profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 in a tough Week 10 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Arizona's schedule lightens up a bit after Week 10. If Brissett keeps performing the way he has so far this season, he should provide fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats with consistent starter-level play.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Easton Stick was released on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The move helped the Falcons trim their roster down to 53 players, and it leaves Atlanta with only Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins in its quarterback room. Stick appeared in all three preseason games, completing 54 of 78 pass attempts for 520 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also took five sacks. The former fifth-round pick spent his first six NFL seasons with the Chargers before inking a deal with Atlanta in April. Now, he'll look for a new landing spot as Week 1 approaches. NewOrleans.Football's Mike Triplett reported that the Saints looked into signing Stick before he wound up with Atlanta, so perhaps they'll continue to show interest now that he's a free agent again. Regardless of where the veteran quarterback ends up, he should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
