Draft Note by John Paulsen
Brissett was one of the better stories in fantasy football last season once he found his footing. From Week 6 through the end of the year, he averaged 18.9 points per game over 12 starts, which would have ranked among the top eight quarterbacks in fantasy over that stretch. The accuracy was solid at 67th percentile in CPOE, and while the EPA per dropback (36th percentile) suggests room for improvement in overall efficiency, the results spoke for themselves. He's working with a genuinely good supporting cast. Trey McBride is one of the best weapons at tight end in the entire league, Michael Wilson broke out last season and gives him a legitimate No. 2 option, Jeremiyah Love is a dynamic young running back who will keep defenses honest, and Marvin Harrison Jr. remains a player with unrealized upside who could finally put it together. Kendrick Bourne adds a reliable depth option. Brissett is going as a low-end QB2 to not drafted, and the late-season version of him is significantly better than that price. He won't win you a league, but if the Cardinals continue developing their weapons around him, he's a legitimate streaming option with some weeks where he can post QB1 numbers, and is a sneaky third option in two-quarterback formats.
