Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Jordan Love

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.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been QB11 or better in three of his last four games, but draws a tough assignment as the Packers head to Denver to take on the Broncos. Love has back-to-back 20+ fantasy point outings against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, with three or more touchdowns in both games. Making that three straight games, with a road game in Denver, will be a tall order. The Broncos allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers as well, making it a tough matchup across the board for the Packers' pass-catchers and Love. For fantasy purposes, Love is a low-end streaming quarterback in single quarterback leagues, but a mid-range QB2 in two-quarterback formats.
