Jacoby Brissett — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
At age 32, Brissett came into 2025 with a game-manager quarterback profile. He went 19-34 over his 53 starts and 87 games, with weakness in his completion rate (61.1%) and yards per pass attempt (6.5). Over this span, Brissett delivered 53 touchdowns and 24 interceptions, with success in the run game (245/977/15).
An injury to Kyler Murray last year led to Brissett having the best passing opportunity of his career. Across his 12 starts, he averaged 40.3 passes per game, leading to 3,532 combined yards (294 per game) with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. His completion rate (65.1%) came in well above his career path, along with a bump in his yards per pass attempt (7.0). From a fantasy perspective, Brissett scored 283.30 fantasy points in four-point passing touchdown formats and had a top-tier quarterback ranking in fantasy points per game (23.60).
The development of Brissett came with the trust of Michael Wilson in tight one-on-one situations, and he responded with an impressive eight games (56/775/6 on 88 targets). Despite his development, Brissett went 1-11.
