News: 1 day agoAhead of Week 10, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter noted "I expect (Brissett) to be our starter" next Monday against the Chargers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Spin: Brissett officially landed with the Ravens in a trade with the Cardinals this past Friday, and he's now on track to assume his new team's starting QB role for the foreseeable future. As a result, Joe Fagnano -- who had a spot start in Week 9 -- will revert to backup status. With regard to franchise signal-caller Lamar Jackson (thumb), who currently is on IR, he's indicated that he plans to return later this season. However, he's out for at least three more games, and 4-5 Baltimore's record as the season progresses figures to factor into Jackson's approach to a potential return to action.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Brissett is back for his second season in Arizona and is currently positioned as the team's probable Week 1 starter. One of the biggest fantasy surprises of 2025, Brissett reeled off nine consecutive top-12 fantasy outings spanning Weeks 6 to 15. He averaged 18.9 fantasy points across 12 starts, which was a big surprise considering his prior career high was 12.9, and that was way back in 2017. Brissett played solid ball, but he's not a major contributor with his legs (260 yards is his career high for a season). He certainly benefited from the league's pass-heaviest offense, a luxury he's unlikely to have with Mike LaFleur now calling plays. Expect the 33-year-old to regress to fringe QB2 production, and keep in mind that it's possible Arizona will turn to rookie Carson Beck at some point this season.
