Should You Start or Sit Brissett in Week 9?
Brissett has already started two games in place of an injured Kyler Murray, and they went … pretty well. The veteran journeyman posted QB1 numbers in both with 21.7 and 19.8 fantasy points. While one came against the Colts’ pass-funnel defense, the other came against the Packers.
Are we sure Murray is even a better option than Brissett?
Fantasy managers probably shouldn’t plan to start Brissett this week. There are plenty of safer options. But if you need the Cardinals’ quarterback, he hasn’t been bad at all.
The Cowboys are an everything funnel defensively. They’re allowing the most or second-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. How will the Cardinals score? However they want.
Given the state of the Cardinals’ running game with Michael Carter, Bam Knight, and Emari Demercado leading the show, it’s more likely they lean on their passing attack, though. Plus, every Cowboys game is a shootout, and Dak Prescott will ensure the Cardinals have to score to win this game.
Brissett is absolutely on the streaming radar.
