Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett has resurrected his career since taking over for QB Kyler Murray. In seven games since taking the reins of the offense, Brissett leads the NFL in completions (204), passing yards (2,188), first downs (106) and 300-yard games (four). He might be a prime candidate to be a key piece of Arizona's 2026 plans, according to beat writer Tyler Drake.
Huddle Up: Brissett has put up QB1-type fantasy numbers since taking over as the starter for Murray, but he can't be trusted as such. He has been a journeyman in this league for a reason, and at this critical juncture of the fantasy season, it's too much of a gamble to pin your hopes to a guy who has been passed around the league at a feverish pace. Only trust him if your primary option has a bye in Week 14.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 29 of his 40 passes for 301 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. He also ran for 16 yards on three carries.
Huddle Up: Brissett continues to amass solid statistical numbers, and he has now topped 300 passing yards in three straight games and has thrown multiple touchdowns in six of his seven starts. Brissett has emerged as a low-end QB1 candidate.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 33 of his 49 pass attempts for 317 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 20 yards on three carries in a 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.
Huddle Up: Brissett has now topped 300 passing yards in three of his six starts this season, and he has yet to throw for fewer than 250 yards as the starter. On the flip side, he did fail to throw multiple touchdowns for the first time since taking over under center, but Brissett is locked in as a high-end QB2 with QB1 upside.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes during a 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Brissett finished with 452 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Huddle Up: Brissett did his best to help the Cardinals keep pace with the 49ers, leading to a monster stat line. He has now thrown multiple touchdowns in all five of his starts, and while this performance was likely Brissett's ceiling, he has proven to be a legitimate QB2.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 22 of his 44 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns and rushed four times for 31 yards in a 44-22 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. He also lost a pair of fumbles that were returned for touchdowns.
Huddle Up: The Seahawks jumped out to a 35-0 lead, and Brissett threw the ball early and often as the Cardinals tried to dig out of the huge hole. Brissett has now thrown for more than 250 yards and two touchdowns in four straight games, and he looks like a solid QB2 option as long as he remains the starter.

There is a possibility that Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) may have played his final down with the team, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is currently on the Reserve/Injured list due to a mid-foot sprain but recently lost his starting job to veteran QB Jacoby Brissett and may not get it back even after he is completely healthy. The Cardinals could explore trading or releasing Murray during the offseason, with a trade being preferable from the team's standpoint because it would be less expensive for them. From Murray's point of view, a release would be better because his deal would be offset, allowing him to sign with a potential playoff contender in need of a quarterback for the league minimum.
Huddle Up: Murray will have earned $140.5 million by the end of this season on a five-year, $230.5 million deal that he signed in July 2022, with an additional $36.835 million in fully guaranteed money forthcoming in 2026. However, if Murray remains on the Cardinals' roster on the fifth day of the new league year in March 2026, Arizona would owe him an extra $19.5 million in fully guaranteed money for 2027. Regardless of how this situation ends up, the Cardinals are on the hook for a lot of money. For now, Brissett should only be viewed as a starting option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has lost his starting position. Jacoby Brissett was named the new starting quarterback by head coach Jonathan Gannon on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Huddle Up: Murray missed the last three games with a foot injury, which is still an issue according to Gannon, but the change probably has more to do with Brisset's performance. The journeyman has completed 65.8 percent of his passes for 860 yards with six touchdowns against one interception in three starts. His 261 yards passing against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 was his lowest of the three games, but still more than Murray's highest output of the season. In five games, Murray was completing 68.3 percent of his passes for 962 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions, and added one touchdown on the ground.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was named the new starting quarterback for the team by Head Coach Jonathan Gannon on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Huddle Up: Brissett has been playing well in recent weeks for the Cardinals in place of an injured Kyler Murray. He can be utilized in deeper leagues or in two-quarterback leagues for now.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of his 31 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Brissett also ran five times for four yards and a touchdown in the win.
Huddle Up: Let the quarterback controversy begin! In his three starts, Brissett has averaged 287 yards and 2 TDs passing per game while leading Arizona to an average of 25.7 points. In comparison, Kyler Murray (foot) averaged 192 yards and 1.5 TDs through the air while adding 35 yards on the ground; in his five starts, the Cardinals averaged 20.6 points. After the game, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman opined that there was no way the Cardinals would bench Brissett. Head coach Jonathan Gannon previously indicated that Murray would be the starter when healthy. It's a situation worth monitoring as Arizona's offense has looked crisper with the journeyman under center, so much so that Brissett might offer low-end QB2 value if he were to remain in the starting role. Stay tuned.
