Cardinals to go with QB Jacoby Brissett as starter Week 10

Nov 04, 2025

Sources: The AZCardinals are naming Jacoby Brissett as their starting QB.

Fantasy Impact:

There seems to be some mixed reports out there on just how long Brissett will be the starter, especially since HC Rich Gannon just said Murray is still the starter, when healthy. PFT is reporting Murray will continue to work on the health of his foot and he may be active for Week 10, but Brissett will start. Murray's timeline for his foot injury is now said to be 4-8 weeks, so it's still even possible Murray ends up on IR. If Brissett comes out and upsets the Seahawks this week, after knocking off Dallas this week, it's hard to imagine the Cards going back to Murray. Mike Florio of PFT believed the Cardinals and Murray would part ways after the season in an article Monday, and that certainly seems like it will happen. Murray is not "the guy" of the current regime, so it would make sense the coaching staff wants to move in a different direction. While Brissett will at least start in Week 10, it seems possible Brissett could start the rest of the season as well.

Texans Beat: QB C.J. Stroud remains in protocol

ESPN

3 hours ago

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is in the concussion protocol but "feeling a little bit better" after his head hit the ground following a hard hit Sunday, coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday.

"We'll see how the week goes and how he progresses throughout the week," Ryans said.

Related players: Davis Mills

Fantasy Impact:

A report from Aaron Wilson said he doesn't expect Stroud to practice at all this week and that Mills will get the start. It's a big game for the Texans as they take on the Jags, but it looks like they'll need to do that without Stroud under center. Stroud took a big hit sliding to the ground that was flagged for a penalty. Mills makes for a decent option as a QB fill-in in mostly deeper, two-QB or superflex leagues.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. dealing with high ankle sprain

Brian Thomas Jr. is dealing with a low-grade high ankle sprain but has a chance to play this week, per sources.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jags are banged up at WR with Travis Hunter now on IR. The team traded for Jakobi Meyers, but he may not be up to speed for a lot of snaps this week. BTJ has a chance to play this week, according to Schefter, but the second year WR hasn't exactly been productive, so he'll likely be a risky play even if he's a go. Hopefully the injury reports this week give us a better idea leading up to game time.

WR Adonai Mitchell traded to Jets in Sauce Gardner deal

Pro Football Talk

According to multiple reports, Adonai Mitchell is being traded to New York to complete the Sauce Gardner deal.

That means in all, the Jets will receive Indianapolis’ first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 plus Mitchell, in exchange for Gardner.

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell was buried in the Colts depth chart and a move to the Jets could get him as high as the team's WR2 spot fairly quickly. As the story said, after making 23 receptions for 312 yards as a rookie last year, he looked like he was having a breakout game in Week 4 against the Rams. But Mitchell infamously dropped the ball just before reaching the end zone for a touchdown, with the ball going out of the end zone for a touchback. The story added, since then, Mitchell had played only single-digit snaps in four games, making a total of two receptions for a total of 15 yards. While the Jets QB situation isn't the best, Mitchell should have a chance to succeed in an offense that is very needy for weapons at the WR spot.
