Week 4 at Seattle Seahawks
First career road NFL start? In Seattle? No problem. Not exactly, right? That fact alone should tell you not to start Jacoby Brissett, especially in a week with so many other streaming options with better matchups. Don't put too much stock into what he accomplished last week...at home...against the Browns. Bench him.
Week 3 vs. Cleveland Browns
In his first game as Colts starting quarterback, Brissett only scored 8.8 fantasy points in standard 4-point passing touchdown leagues. The matchup is better now against a Browns defense ranked 26th in our aFPA vs. QB rankings. Cleveland is giving up 15.2 fantasy points per game to opposing fantasy quarterbacks; however, unless, you are in a 2QB league without better options, Brissett should not be in your starting lineup. He might be worth a contrarian play in DFS GPPs this week, though, thanks to his price and the matchup.
Week 2 vs. Arizona Cardinals
A former third-string quarterback just two weeks ago might start for a team that has three question marks along the offensive line just one week into the season? Just say no. Don't even think about it. Jacoby Brissett is not a starter in pretty much every type of fantasy league in Week 2. Gotta see it first in this situation. Don't start Scott Tolzien either, if he is still the QB1.
Week 3 vs. Houston
In relief of Jimmy Garoppolo against the Dolphins nlast week, Brissett came into the game with a 21-0 lead and completed just six passes for 92 yards. The Patriots team total is hovering around 19.75 this week, and Brissett will need to continue to play efficiently as a slight home underdog. Brissett is nothing more than a high-end QB3 against the Texans, who rank near the bottom of the league in QB aFPA.
