Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Lamar Jackson

Saturday, October 18, 10:20 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett may be in line for another spot start while Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable ahead of their Week 7 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The fact that the Cardinals enter their bye week after this game could encourage them to be more cautious with Murray. With that being said, Brissett did lead the Cardinals to their best output through the air in terms of both passing yards and touchdowns. The Packers are the fifth-ranked defense overall, but have given up at least 200 yards and two scores to quarterbacks in their last two games. Murray still has a chance to play in this contest, but if Brissett is under center, fantasy managers in deeper leagues can look to Brissett to provide some value in tough situations.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, is expected to return when the Ravens come off their bye in Week 7 to face the Chicago Bears in Week 8, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson will have three weeks of rest, so he should be a full-go when the team comes off their bye to face Chicago. The 28-year-old two-time MVP has gone 1-3 in his four starts in 2025, but he does lead the league with a 10.5 touchdown percentage, a 10.78 adjusted yards gained per pass attempt, and a 130.5 QB rating. While this may end up being a lost season for the Ravens, Jackson still has the ability to carry fantasy football teams once he's back from his hamstring injury. The elite dual-threat signal-caller needs to be back in all starting fantasy lineups if he's active in Week 8, which is expected.
