Jacoby Brissett to start for Cardinals in Week 9

Nov 01, 2025

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon announced Saturday that Jacoby Brissett will start again at quarterback Monday night against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Kyler Murray is on his way back from a foot sprain. Gannon noted that Murray could have a role in Monday’s game but it will be Brissett getting another start for Arizona. Brissett threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against the Packers. It’s a good matchup for Brissett against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. Brissett has some streaming appeal this week.

Rams WR Puka Nacua "good to go" for Week 9

Rams WR Puka Nacua is officially off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. New Orleans.

Related Players: Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington

Fantasy Impact:

Obivously a good sign for Nacua managers, as we should expect him to jump right back into his target-heavy role. Nacua and Adams should be both considered must-start options against the Saints this Sunday.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift ruled out of Week 9

Bears RB D’Andre Swift was ruled out with a groin injury.

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

Hat tip to all the fantasy managers stashing Monangai; this is your week. There's really no reason to think the rookie won't get a very useful workload, as we've already seen his role growing since the team's Week 5 bye. Consider him an easy plug-and-play against a Bengals defense that ranks dead last in RB aFPA.

Bengals QB Joe Flacco (AC joint) officially Questionable for Week 9

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 4:58 PM EDT

The Bengals list Joe Flacco (AC joint sprain) as questionable, while DE Trey Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful.

Related Players: Jake Browning

Fantasy Impact:

We've seen a huge shift in offensive effectiveness since Flacco came to town, particularly as far as Ja'Marr Chase is concerned. Chase would still be a must-start with Browning at the helm, but it would be a sharp downgrade for Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant, and anyone else on fantasy rosters.
