Who Should I Start? Jacoby Brissett or Tyler Shough

Sunday, December 7, 10:01 PM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 25 of 44 pass attempts for 271 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in his team's 45-17 Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Arizona's pass-happy attack continues to allow Brissett to post solid numbers. Across 10 games (eight starts) worth of action in 2025, the 32-year-old has thrown for 2,459 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five picks. Brissett has thrown for at least 258 yards in all eight of his starts and topped 300 passing yards in four separate contests. He's also attempted at least 40 pass attempts in five straight weeks and is averaging an incredible 43.3 pass attempts per start so far in 2025. As long as the Cardinals continue to find themselves in pass-heavy game scripts every week, Brissett profiles as a viable starting fantasy quarterback. However, Arizona has a difficult matchup in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 13 of 20 pass attempts for 144 passing yards, zero passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also rushed for 55 yards and two touchdowns. Furthermore, he took two sacks. The rookie didn't have a big day passing, but he made up for it with a stellar showing on the ground, headlined by a 34-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter. New Orleans held three different leads throughout the game, and Shough's big impact on the ground put the Saints in position to edge out the Bucs in a key divisional battle. The rookie has quietly racked up four passing touchdowns and 73 rushing yards over the last two games, putting him in the QB2 tier for fantasy football going forward. Next week, he faces a Panthers defense allowing the second-fewest rushing yards and fourth-most interceptions to opposing quarterbacks. It won't be an easy game by any means, but Shough is still startable in two-quarterback or superflex formats.
