Brissett completed 29 of 47 passes for 292 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 19 yards and a seven-yard reception on his only target in the Cardinals' 45-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Brissett's final stat line was deceptively impressive and largely the byproduct of plenty of production amassed over the final two drives when Arizona was already down by more than three touchdowns. The veteran signal-caller capped off both of those possessions with scoring tosses to tight ends, connecting with Teagan Quitoriano (13 yards) and Trey McBride (nine yards). Brissett had previously recorded a two-yard scoring strike to Quitoriano back in the first quarter as well, and the former finished with a season high in passing yards and touchdown passes. Brissett next faces the tough challenge of the Rams' talented secondary in a Week 6 road matchup next Sunday.
Brissett completed 17 of 28 passes for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception while also adding a seven-yard rush in Sunday's 31-7 loss to Seattle.
Brissett struggled to push the ball down the field against the Seahawks' vaunted secondary, and as a result, he was limited to just 5.4 yards per completion. The quarterback was able to connect with tight end Trey McBride for a two-yard score to open the second quarter, but that was the only bright spot on the day for the 33-year-old. He attempted to find wide receiver Michael Wilson deep down the left sideline in the third quarter, but Julian Love jumped in front of it for his the safety's second interception of the year. Brissett has proven to be more than capable of producing positive results for fantasy managers in his time with the Cardinals, and his next chance to get back on track will come Week 3 against the 49ers on the road.
Everyone sharing the ball with Jacoby, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Brissett completed 27 of 37 passes for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Brissett helped the Cardinals set an immediate tone for a potential upset on the team's first drive of the season, when he led Arizona on an 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated with Jeremiyah Love's five-yard touchdown run. The veteran signal-caller proceeded to put together a performance highly reminiscent of several of his 2025 starts that earned him an extension this summer and the starting role to open the new campaign. Brissett connected with Trey McBride for his one touchdown pass from three yards out early in the fourth quarter, and his afternoon also included a 27-yard connection with McBride and a picturesque 33-yard rainbow down the left sideline to Marvin Harrison that was dropped in perfectly. Brissett will look to build on the stellar effort in a tough Week 2 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.
Brissett is listed with the first-team offense on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart.
After Arizona released Kyler Murray in March, the team signed Gardner Minshew in free agency and then rounded out the QB room by drafting Carson Beck (ribs) in the third round of the 2026 Draft. Despite those notable additions, Brissett was expected to be the starter, and as a result he held a hold-in during the offseason program and at the starting training camp before agreeing to a revised contract with the team on July 26. Brissett made a cameo in preseason Week 1 versus the Raiders, completing all five of his passes for 44 yards and a touchdown strike to Marvin Harrison. Considering he'll have TE Trey McBride, WRs Harrison and Michael Wilson and RBs Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Tyler Allgeier at his disposal, Brissett very well may produce like he did during his 12-game starting stint to end last season. Whether that'll be enough for Brissett to hold on to the No. 1 gig throughout the campaign is up in the air, especially with Beck waiting in the wings.
