• Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Loses starting gig, now No. 3 QB

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Mike LaFleur said that Brissett will be removed from the starting role and serve as the Cardinals' No. 3 quarterback in Sunday's game in Seattle, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. The Cardinals will move forward with Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback, after he came on in relief of a struggling Brissett in Week 8 against Dallas and three touchdown passes en route to leading Arizona to a come-from-behind 33-30 victory in overtime. After putting up gaudy numbers over 12 starts in a pass-happy Arizona offense in 2025, Brissett had taken a notable step back statistically through the first eight games of this season, completing 63.3 percent of his passes for 1,719 yards (5.6 YPA), 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions to go with 87 yards and another score on the ground. Rather than serving as the direct backup to Minshew, the 33-year-old Brissett will drop to third on the depth chart in order for rookie third-round pick Carson Beck to be active on game days and potentially see his first NFL action later on this season.

• Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Gets pulled early in Week 8

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Brissett completed 10 of 23 passes for 118 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and turned three carries into seven yards during Sunday's 33-30 overtime win at Dallas. He also was pulled for backup QB Gardner Minshew near the end of the third quarter. At the time of Brissett's last offensive snap with 3:38 left in the third quarter, the Cardinals were trailing 17-3, after which Minshew led the team on four straight TD drives to force overtime. Along with a Week 2 stinker against the Seahawks -- 17-for-28 passing for 95 yards, one TD and one INT -- this marked one of Brissett's two least productive outings of the season. Afterward, head coach Mike LaFleur told Darren Urban of the team's official site that he won't name a Week 9 starter between Brissett and Minshew just yet, only saying, "I thought we needed a spark." Considering the considerable influence Minshew had on Arizona's third win of 2026, it wouldn't surprise if he's under center instead of Brissett next Sunday in Seattle.

• Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Sleeper QBs

  4D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  This is the setup we love for Brissett. Dallas should build a lead against Arizona, and Brissett should be throwing a lot in a comeback effort against the Cowboys, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Only Jalon Daniels in Week 5 and Tanner McKee in Week 7 failed to score at least 22.2 Fantasy points against Dallas, and Brissett has scored at least 18.5 Fantasy points in three of his past five games. I like Brissett as a low-end starter in all leagues.

• Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Week 8 Waiver Priority List

  Brissett has the chance to help Fantasy managers in Week 8 against the Cowboys, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. He has scored at least 18.5 Fantasy points in three of his past five games, and this is a good setup for him. Dallas should build a lead against Arizona, and Brissett should be throwing a lot in a comeback effort. I like Brissett as a low-end starter in all leagues, and he's worth adding in 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

• Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Red-zone struggles persist in Week 7

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Brissett completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos. After failing to score a touchdown in the Week 6 win over the Rams, Brissett and the Cardinals mustered only one touchdown on five trips into the red zone Sunday. Brissett averaged a meager 5.7 yards per pass attempt but inflated his numbers with heavy volume. He has a 3-16 record since taking over as Arizona's starting QB while throwing at least 40 passes in 10 of those 19 starts. Brissett's likely to post a more efficient passing performance in Week 8 against a far more permissive Cowboys pass defense.
