Our Draft Read
Our editorial board places Jacoby Brissett at QB29 in PPR. The separate directional season projection is 208.1 PPR points.

He is a second- or third-quarterback consideration in Superflex. In one-QB leagues, compare him with streamers rather than drafting a backup quarterback merely because he has a starting job.
What Moves His Value
The upside: Consistent passing opportunities and reliable scoring drives provide usable weeks at a modest acquisition cost.
The downside: Low-touchdown games leave limited fantasy value despite a full complement of NFL snaps.
