Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Trevor Lawrence

Friday, December 5, 10:13 AM

Since taking over for the injured Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been consistently productive. Across seven starts, the 32-year-old has completed 67.8% of his pass attempts for 2,188 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Brissett has thrown for at least 250 yards in every start and topped 300 yards passing in three straight games heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Arizona's pass-happy approach buoys Brissett's production. He's averaging 43 pass attempts per start overall and 48.6 per game over the last three weeks. Arizona figures to be chasing points once again on Sunday against the Rams, which could lead to another high-volume day for Brissett. Additionally, Murray's return timeline remains murky, as the team has not yet opened his 21-day Injured Reserve activation window. Brissett profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 for as long as he remains the starter in Arizona.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has had an up-and-down fantasy season so far through 12 games, but he has played decently in recent weeks. Since Week 9, Lawrence has completed 61.6% of his passes for 1,016 yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions while adding 27 carries for 122 yards and three touchdowns as a runner. The 26-year-old is averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game during that time, ranking as the QB10. He's adding more value as a runner this season, and his five rushing scores have already matched a career high. Lawrence is still frustrating at times and is one of the more turnover-prone quarterbacks in the league, but he's been a useful player in fantasy for roughly a month now. He's in play as a potential streamer in Week 14 against an Indianapolis Colts defense that will be without top cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf).
