Jacoby Brissett Has Upside For Two-QB Leagues

Saturday, September 12, 5:41 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is returning to helm the team's offense after signing a one-year, $15.5 million contract in the offseason. Brissett succeeded Kyler Murray as Arizona's starting quarterback after Murray's season was ended by a severe foot sprain in Week 5. In 12 starts, Brissett threw for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, and averaged 40.3 pass attempts per game. His production made him the QB7 measured by fantasy points per game. To kick off 2026, Brissett will face a challenging Chargers defense. With rookie running back Jeremiyah Love questionable and the Cardinals likely to be playing from behind, Arizona may be forced into a pass-heavy script. He will be a risky start in single-quarterback leagues but is a good play in two-QB or superflex leagues based on his potential volume.

Trevor Lawrence a Clear QB1 Against Browns

Saturday, September 12, 7:06 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence enters his Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns as a high-upside fantasy option. The Browns defense was good last year, but no longer has superstar lineman Myles Garrett, so the unit should be more vulnerable this season. That means Lawrence has a great opportunity to start strong in year two in Liam Coen's offense. The former top pick has plenty of weapons at his disposal, including the emerging Parker Washington, and is coming off a fantastic finish last year. Lawrence was the overall QB1 in fantasy during the team's eight-game winning streak on the back of both his arm and his legs. If he can hit the ground running early in the game, Lawrence can pick up right where he left off from a fantasy perspective and dominate the Browns in Week 1. He should be viewed as a must-start in all formats.
