Cardinals go with Gardner Minshew as QB1

Minshew Mania is back in business.

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed in his Monday press conference that Gardner Minshew will serve as the team’s starting quarterback after he led a dramatic comeback victory over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Beck will be the backup according to the story. Minshew led a furious comeback against the Cowboys after taking over for Brissett in the second half. We've seen the writing on the wall for Brissett despite the team saying they were going to stick with him. However, it looked like a better chance Beck would take over vs. Minshew. Beck could still end up the starter at some point if Minshew begins to struggle. Ian Rapoport brought up the possibility the Ravens trade for Brissett with Lamar Jackson possibly done for the season. Brissett owners should hang on to him for a bit longer, just in case he's moved before the deadline.

Cardinals again say they will stick with QB Jacoby Brissett

After defeating the division-rival Rams in Week 6, the Cardinals extended their home losing streak on Sunday with a 30-16 loss to the Broncos.

It was another unremarkable performance on offense, which has put the spotlight on Arizona’s quarterback, Jacoby Brissett.

But Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur reiterated in his Monday press conference that the team is sticking with the veteran as QB1.

Fantasy Impact:

LaFleur said the team is moving the ball and the issues are collective, not just on Brissett. Beck is dealing with a back injury, the story said, so that could be the reason the team hasn't made a change. Brissett hasn't been a bad fantasy QB this season and leads the league in pass attempts with 282, which is due to the Cardinals trailing in games. Again, that's not a bad thing for your fantasy QB. But it seems like a matter of time before a change is made. The Cardinals have no reason to stick with Brissett as he's not the long term answer. The Cardinals have a nice matchup against a vulnerable Cowboys defense, and as the story pointed out, their bye isn't until Week 14.

Cardinals will decide about making QB Carson Beck active on game days

During his media availability, LaFleur said the Cardinals will have conversations on Tuesday about whether to make Carson Beck active against the Rams.

“If we think that’s what is best, [then that’s what we’ll do],” LaFleur said, via Darren Urban of the team website.

Fantasy Impact:

We reported Monday the Cards are planning to stick with Brissett has their starter. He struggled in the first half before a great second half to finish with 292 yards passing and three TDs. As we said, the writing could be on the wall for Brissett as the Cards have no real reason to continue to play the veteran. The story mentioned Brissett is 2-15 as the starter, but in terms of fantasy, Brissett's been a nice option most weeks. At some point, however, a switch to Beck seems to be inevitable. But, Beck hasn't been active on game days. If that changes, Brissett fantasy owners may have to rethink inserting him in lineups, because if he struggles like he did in the first half this past week, and Beck is active, the Cards have more reasons than not to give Beck a chance.

Cardinals: QB Jacoby Brissett not the problem

The Cardinals lost their franchise-record ninth straight home game on Sunday, in blowout fashion to the Lions. After landing on the wrong side of a 45-21 final score, first-year coach Mike LaFleur was asked whether he’s considering a quarterback change.

“I’ve got way too many other things, you know, that I need to correct right now,” LaFleur told reporters. “Jacoby Brissett was not the problem. We were a problem as a team today. And, again, that starts with me.”

Fantasy Impact:

Things aren't going to get better for the Cards in terms of their schedule. Brissett did struggle in the first half of the game before a pretty nice second half that saved fantasy owners. He finished with 292 yards and three touchdown passes. The run game really struggled as well and the defense gave up 45 points to the Lions. So while the blame isn't only on Brissett, his owners have to be honest with themselves and realize the end of the line could be near. The team doesn't really have a reason to stick with their 34-year-old QB, so a switch to Beck seems like it will happen sooner or later. The one thing Brissett owners may have going for them is the tough schedule, which includes the Rams twice, the Broncos, Seahawks and Chiefs over the several weeks. The Cards may not want to throw Beck in that kind of fire. But can Brissett produce for fantasy owners? The team's bye comes in Week 14 and they close out the season with the Jets, Saints, Raiders and 49ers. Any struggle like Brissett had in the first half against the Lions going forward, could result in him getting pulled.
