Jacoby Brissett News
Thursday, August 20, 6:03 PM
According to NFL.com, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett will not play Saturday against the Cowboys, rookie quarterback Carson Beck (ribs) is unlikely to play, and Gardner Minshew will start for the Cardinals. Brissett started in the Cardinals' pre-season game against the Raiders on August 13 and looked sharp, completing all five of his passes for 44 yards and a touchdown (142.9 passer rating). Brissett signed a reworked one-year, $5.5 million fully guaranteed contract for the 2026 season after he burst onto the scene last season, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, and finishing the season as the QB16 in only 14 games. Brissett has been a journeyman throughout his career, playing for six different NFL teams, and is set to be the Cardinals' Week 1 starter once the regular season begins. RotoBaller ranks Brissett as the QB28 entering draft season, and he will have a wide array of weapons around him, including Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, and rookie running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle).

Shedeur Sanders News
Saturday, August 22, 5:45 PM
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders put together a respectable performance in his team's second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, completing nine of 11 pass attempts for 74 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The 24-year-old is currently competing with veteran signal-caller Deshaun Watson to be Cleveland's Week 1 starting quarterback. Sanders was clearly the better of the two quarterbacks on Saturday, as Watson completed just five of 12 pass attempts for 36 yards. A fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders completed 56.6% of his pass attempts for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across eight games (seven starts) as a rookie. While Sanders has more talent and offensive stability around him in 2026, he should likely remain off fantasy radars in all but the deepest of leagues even if he is named Cleveland's starter.
