Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Nick Mullens

Saturday, November 1, 7:51 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is set to start another game, and he draws a favorable matchup. The veteran QB has started the last two games and amassed 599 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 52-for-80 and 9 carries for 45 yards in that time. Despite going 0-2, Brissett has looked better than Kyler Murray this season and has a 97.7 passer rating compared to Murray's 88.6. In their Week 9 matchup, the Dallas Cowboys give up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks at 24.93 per game and have allowed 20 passing touchdowns compared to just four interceptions. With the receiving corps ready to play, Brissett comes in as a high-end QB2 and could be a solid streaming option for fantasy managers needing a fill-in.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Mullens will be the new backup to Trevor Lawrence in head coach Liam Coen's first year in Duvall. The 29-year-old Mullens will reunite with new Jaguars assistant coach Grant Udinski after the two worked together with the Minnesota Vikings. Mullens spent the last three years in Minnesota, appearing in 13 games (three starts) while throwing for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. He only appeared in four games in relief last year with Sam Darnold having a career year. Mullens will provide veteran backup depth behind Lawrence, though, having appeared in 33 games (20 starts) in his seven years in the NFL with Minnesota, San Francisco and Cleveland.
