Jacoby Brissett a Drop Candidate Unlikely to Recapture His 2025 Fantasy Magic

Tuesday, October 20, 10:00 AM

Despite leading his team to an upset victory over the divisional rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 6, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been unable to recapture the fantasy magic that made him a league-winner after taking over the starting job midway through the 2025 season. Through six games, Brissett has reached 17 fantasy points only twice and currently ranks as the QB22 by points per game, making him little more than a desperation play in superflex formats and an easy drop candidate in single-quarterback leagues. Despite wins over both Los Angeles teams, the Cardinals sit at 2-4, and it should surprise nobody if, at some point, the team looks to find out what it has in 2026 third-round pick Carson Beck.

Lamar Jackson News

Lamar Jackson Officially Questionable to Play in Week 7

Friday, October 23, 12:40 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Jackson has not played since Week 4 due to an ankle injury. He was able to return to practice in a limited capacity this week, but it appears his status for Week 7 remains in doubt. The 29-year-old has been highly productive when healthy this season, completing 70.8% of his pass attempts for 967 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception. He's also rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts. Jackson may not be quite as aggressive as a rusher coming off an injury, but he profiles as a must-start quarterback for fantasy managers if he's active in Week 7. If Jackson remains sidelined, Ravens QB2 Tyler Huntley would be in line to make his third straight start against Cincinnati.
