Jacoby Brissett News
Friday, April 17, 9:59 AM
Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett is not attending the team's first phase of their offseason program and is asking for a contract extension that would pay him as a starter, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Brissett is set to make $9.06 million in 2026 and has only $1.5 million in guaranteed money. He's looking for more security, and the Cardinals appear willing to address it. The 33-year-old took over for Kyler Murray in Week 6 of last year after Murray suffered a foot injury, and he went on to have a career year, completing 64.9% of his 485 pass attempts for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games played (12 starts) for the Cards. Murray is now in Minnesota, and Brissett is expected to enter the 2026 campaign as the starter under new head coach Mike LaFleur. Brissett was a valuable QB2 streamer, especially in superflex leagues last year, but in an offense that should be more balanced under LaFleur, fantasy managers should temper expectations with Brissett.

Malik Willis News
Tuesday, April 7, 8:28 AM
Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said on ESPN in an interview with Kevin Clark on This Is Football that the team is planning to build around new quarterback Malik Willis. "I'm very comfortable with Malik and his ability to play with what's around him," Sullivan said. The Dolphins gave the 26-year-old Willis a three-year, $67.5 million contract after they released Tua Tagovailoa this offseason. In his two years with the Green Bay Packers, Willis completed 78.7% of his passes for 972 yards, six touchdowns, and no interceptions in 11 games (just three starts). In his four years in the NFL, Willis has only made six starts, and he'll be leading an offense in 2026 that will have do-it-all running back De'Von Achane and not much else after Tyreek Hill (knee) was cut and Jaylen Waddle was traded to the Denver Broncos. Willis is very athletic and can be a dual threat under center with his arms and his legs, but he could be fighting an uphill battle for fantasy production in his first year in South Beach as Miami begins building around him through the draft.
