Jacoby Brissett News
Friday, May 8, 6:32 PM
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been skipping voluntary offseason workouts as he waits for a new contract, but head coach Mike LaFleur said the team has been in contact with him, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. "He's played a lot of football, and we're in communication," LaFleur said Friday. "He knows what the expectation is." Brissett has been informed by the team that he is their starting QB for the 2026 season after the organization moved on from Kyler Murray this offseason. The Cardinals added veteran Gardner Minshew in free agency and also drafted QB Carson Beck, but Brissett will be the starter in the desert after his strong 2025 season. After taking over for an injured Murray in Week 6, the 33-year-old former third-rounder by the New England Patriots in 2016 elevated Arizona's pass-happy offense and finished with a career-best 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games (12 starts). It was good enough for a QB15 finish in fantasy scoring. However, in what is expected to be a much more balanced offense under LaFleur in 2026, we're expecting regression from Brissett. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 27 fantasy QB.

Tua Tagovailoa News
Thursday, May 7, 7:10 AM
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has the potential to be a short-term option in fantasy football, but he lacks long-term upside in dynasty leagues. Tagovailoa signed with the Falcons this offseason after being released by the Miami Dolphins. He may open the 2026 season as Atlanta's starter since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is still recovering from his torn ACL, but the job belongs to Penix when he's healthy. Recent comments from president of football Matt Ryan seem to indicate that Penix's recovery is either on schedule or behind schedule, so Tagovailoa could be a QB2 option through the first few weeks of the season. Once Penix returns, though, Tagovailoa will head to the bench, where he'll face an uphill battle to reclaim any starting role, at least as long as he remains in Atlanta. He was the QB9 in 2023, but he's coming off a disastrous 2025 campaign in which he threw for 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
