Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jacoby Brissett

Friday, November 7, 9:53 AM

Jordan Raanan, NFL Nation reporter for ESPN who covers the New York Giants, reported that Jameis Winston may be the third-string quarterback, but he didn't want to go anywhere at the trade deadline. The plan is for him to be the New York Giants' backup to Jaxson Dart next season. Winston has been floated as a potential trade target for teams in need of a starting quarterback, given his long-standing pedigree and NFL tenure, starting in 87 total games throughout his career. However, Winston is content in New York and wants to stay with them next season to back up young rookie star Jaxson Dart. This would be a move that would be advantageous for the Giants, considering we have seen second-year (Sophomore Slumps) from quarterbacks in the past. Think CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans in 2024. While it's all speculation, it will give the Giants peace of mind knowing their backup quarterback can still sling the ball. Winston has thrown for 24,225 yards, 154 passing touchdowns, and 111 interceptions.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has posted solid numbers since moving into the starting role, and he'll keep the starting job while Kyler Murray (foot) spends at least the next three weeks on IR. Brissett has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his four starts and has thrown for exactly two touchdowns in each outing. He added a touchdown run as well in the team's win over the Cowboys in Week 9, and in Week 10, he threw for 258 passing yards on 44 pass attempts against the Seahawks. Coach Jonathan Gannon has shown plenty of trust in Brissett to air it out, and this week, he has a favorable matchup against the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, so Brissett is definitely worth a look as a streaming option or as a QB2 in Week 11.
