Jacoby Brissett A Top Streamer In Favorable Matchup

Saturday, October 10, 3:09 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett shot up the weekly projection rankings thanks to his Week 5 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions' defense has been one of the NFL's least effective units in 2026, allowing 31.8 points per game, the highest first-down rate, and the most passing yards. Brissett has been one of the league's more prolific passers this season, putting up 38 pass attempts per game. He will likely be airing it out again in the hopes of being the fifth quarterback in as many weeks to record multiple touchdown passes and the fourth to record 300 passing yards against Detroit's porous secondary. In Week 5, Brissett should be locked into a starting slot in two-QB formats and is an attractive streaming option in one-QB leagues, especially for those fantasy teams whose starting quarterback is on bye this week.

Saints Expected to Keep Spencer Rattler Despite Trade Interest

Saturday, August 29, 7:17 PM

The New Orleans Saints have received trade interest in Spencer Rattler, but they expect to keep him on their 53-man roster, according to Jeremy Fowler. The former fifth-round pick will offer quality depth as the backup quarterback behind Tyler Shough. Rattler, 25, started the first eight games of the 2025 season before being benched for Shough. In those eight games, he completed 67.7% of his pass attempts for 1,586 yards, eight passing touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also tallied 167 rushing yards, 18 sacks, and two lost fumbles. Rattler's mobility gave him occasional QB2 appeal in fantasy football, but for the most part, managers wanted no part of starting him. That will remain the case if he's thrust into action due to a Shough injury in 2026.
