Jacoby Brissett
Brissett is Arizona's clear starting quarterback for as long as Kyler Murray's foot injury keeps him out, and he's playing well enough that he's a viable fantasy option rather than a pure emergency fill-in.
Role
Brissett is set to start his third straight game under center with the full starting offense, throwing to Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson and Trey McBride; he's the every-down passer with no timeshare, and his role only changes if/when Murray is cleared to return.
Over his first two starts Brissett has averaged just under 300 passing yards with four touchdowns to one interception and a 7.5 yards-per-attempt clip, notably better efficiency than Murray had posted in 2025, and the receiving corps (especially Michael Wilson) has seen a production bump with him at QB.
This is still a bridge assignment tied directly to Murray's foot injury; once Murray is healthy he retakes the job, and Brissett's per-game ceiling and rushing upside are far lower than Murray's, making him a game-by-game matchup play rather than a long-term option.
Where analysts split
The real debate isn't whether Brissett is playable now — coverage agrees he's been solid — it's how long Murray's foot injury keeps him out and whether Brissett's early efficiency is sustainable against tougher defenses or is a product of a couple of favorable matchups.
