NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Cardinals are naming Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback.

04 November 2025

It’s a move that sounds shocking but felt completely inevitable after Brissett toppled the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Brissett made three starts in place of an injured Kyler Murray. He threw for 860 yards and six touchdowns while Murray nursed his foot injury. His lowest yardage total was 261, coming against Dallas. That would have been Murray’s highest total of the year by over 40 yards. Brissett was also getting more out of both Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. McBride has four touchdowns in three Brissett starts. He has five career touchdown receptions from Murray. MHJ is coming off a career-high in receptions at seven. In the short-term, Brissett is a mid-range QB2 for fantasy purposes and both of his top pass-catchers will get a boost in the ranks for Week 10 against the Seahawks. In the long-term, the Cardinals are now headed toward an ugly breakup with Murray.
