Jacoby Brissett News
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.

Trevor Lawrence News
Saturday, October 3, 10:47 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has not piled up huge passing-yardage totals lately, but the touchdowns have kept coming. Lawrence threw for 182 yards against New England last week, his second straight game below 200, yet he still found the end zone three times and added 25 yards on the ground. He has seven touchdown passes against two interceptions through three games, with Jacksonville scoring 27 points per game along the way. Cincinnati does present a challenge up front. The Bengals have generated pressure on 39.7% of opposing dropbacks, the fifth-highest rate in the league, so Lawrence may not have a clean pocket all afternoon. RotoBaller is still very high on him for Sunday, ranking Lawrence as QB4 for Week 4. The passing yardage has been uneven, but his touchdown production and Jacksonville's strong start offensively keep him firmly in QB1 territory against Cincinnati.
