Jacoby Brissett Fantasy

A day after trading for quarterback Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns are now expected to sign free-agent quarterback Jacoby Brissett to an undisclosed one-year deal to be Watson's backup, according to sources. The Browns also traded last year's backup, Case Keenum, to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday for a seventh-round pick. With two new QBs in town, Cleveland will eventually grant Baker Mayfield his request and trade him as well. Brissett played in 11 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins in 2021 and threw for 1,283 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. He'll give the Browns some valuable insurance in case Watson is hit with a suspension from the NFL in 2022, but Brissett won't be anything more than a low-end QB2 streamer if he makes starts for the Browns in 2022.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are discussing the possibility of signing Miami Dolphins impending free-agent quarterback Jacoby Brissett, according to sources. Brissett, who has started 37 games in his career, could be an option because of his past relationship with four current Steelers assistant coaches, including offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The 29-year-old Brissett started 30 games for the Indianapolis Colts from 2017-20 and spent last year backing up Tua Tagovailoa in Miami. In five starts in 2021, Brissett went 141-for-225 for 1,283 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. Brissett has a strong arm and can be mobile, if needed, but he may not necessarily be an upgrade over Mason Rudolph, who is currently projected to fight for the starting job in training camp with Dwayne Haskins.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) went down with a right knee injury early in the third quarter on a sack against the Baltimore Ravens and was removed from the game. He's officially questionable to return. Brissett looked to be in a lot of pain on the ground, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power and was ready to go back into the game, but the team went with Tua Tagovailoa (finger) on the next drive. The Dolphins were leading this game coming out of the half 6-3, but Brissett went just 11-for-23 for 156 yards in the first half with no touchdowns or interceptions. It's unclear if the Dolphins will stick with Tagovailoa for the remainder of the second half, but Brissett does look to be fine on the sidelines after being looked at in the medical tent.
