Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Jacoby Brissett

Friday, October 31, 11:35 AM

The Athletic's Josh Kendall reports that the Atlanta Falcons have yet to have "any serious trade discussions with another team," regarding quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline. Cousins has been the speculation of quarterback-needy teams, although his recent performance in a blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins likely didn't help his case. As it stands, Atlanta is likely to hold both the veteran and second-year pro Michael Penix Jr. (knee). However, Kendall notes that doesn't mean Cousins is a long-term fit for the team. He figures to resume backup duties behind Penix Jr. once the latter is fully recovered from his knee injury. That's likely to change following the 2025 season.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon announced on Tuesday that quarterback Jacoby Brissett will make a fourth straight start under center for the team's Week 10 divisional matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Cardinals will stick with Brissett for another game while Murray heals from a mid-foot sprain that he suffered back in Week 5, but they are taking things week-to-week at the QB position. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys that Murray is still the team's starter when healthy, but he went back on that statement a day later. The bottom line is that the 32-year-old Brissett has helped improve the offense in his three starts, going 73-for-111 (65.8% completion percentage) with at least two touchdown passes each game. If he continues to play well, the Cardinals could continue to sit Murray on the bench. Brissett will be a low-end QB2 streamer in Week 10 in fantasy on the road against a tough Seahawks defense.
