Jauan Jennings signed an $8 million base contract with incentives to join a new receiving corps featuring stars Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Though projected as the WR3, Jennings’ physical frame and run-blocking ability allows him to challenge Addison for snaps in two-receiver sets and absolutely buries Tai Felton on the depth chart.

 

To be clear, the Minnesota landing spot dampens Jennings’ best ball and dynasty stock. Currently valued as a WR4/FLEX in all formats, the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that Jordan Addison remains the Vikings’ No. 2 wide receiver. While Jennings trails Jefferson and Addison in most fantasy rankings, he offers contingent upside if he can earn an expanded role.

Mike LaFleur stood out early to the Cardinals in their search for a new head coach after firing Jonathan Gannon in January. Gannon finished with a record of 15-36 and had no playoff appearances in three seasons. Lafleur is a young offensive mind from the McVay coaching tree and helped the Rams finish in the top five of total offense in 2025. The LaFleur brothers now join the Harbaughs as head coaches in the NFL.

 

 

Taking your first head coaching job in the powerhouse NFC West division against your old team is not for the faint of heart, but LaFleur will have some pieces to work with, including the third overall pick in the NFL draft. The biggest decision for LaFleur and the Cardinals heading into 2026 is what to do with Kyler Murray. Is this going to be a reclamation project from day one for the new head coach to make Murray work? Does the team navigate trade waters, lowering the dead cap hit, or bite the bullet and release Murray? Not playing after suffering a foot injury in Week 5 muddied the waters about his future with the Cardinals, but with a weak quarterback class in 2026, a trade may now be a realistic possibility.

The Arizona Cardinals have placed quarterback Kyler Murray on injured reserve with a foot sprain. Murray started just five games so far this season and now will miss at least the next four. Jacoby Brissett has filed in for Murray over the last three games, throwing for 860 yards, 6 touchdowns with 1 interception.

 

The Cardinals offense has shown signs of life since Brissett took over, Trey McBride remains an elite tight end and Marvin Harrison Jr. can be counted on as a low end wide receiver two.

Marvin Harrison Jr. fantasy managers are waking up happier. Harrison finished as the WR6 on the week in PPR formats with 22.6 fantasy points. 

 

With Jacoby Brissett at the helm, Harrison was the benefit of 10 targets. He finished with a 7-96-1 line. Fantasy gamers will be monitoring the status of starting quarterback Kyler Murray. Ironically, Brissett has been more beneficial for both Harrison and star tight end Trey McBride. For ceiling outcomes for the Cardinals offense, Brissett is the preferred play moving forward.

This is Kyler Murray’s 3rd straight missed game. Even when he was healthy, Murray hadn’t finished inside the Top-15 of QB finishes during any of the first five contests.

 

The Arizona Cardinals offense has looked better with Brissett during his two starts. Murray still has 3 years remaining on his contract after 2025, if the Cardinals decide to move in a different direction.

According to head coach Jonathan Gannon, Jacoby Brissett will get the start over Kyler Murray on Monday night against Dallas. The reasoning is that Murray’s foot is not fully healed. Gannon said they will evaluate Murray in the next [36] hours to see if he may have a role on Monday in some capacity. Regardless, Brissett draws the start.

 

When asked follow-up questions, the head coach dismissed talk that Murray’s absence is at all related to the trade rumors surrounding the quarterback in advance of Tuesday’s deadline. When asked if the injury could potentially linger further into the season’s second half, Gannon was noncommittal but also said that the injured reserve (IR) is not currently an option.

 

For Brissett and fantasy managers, the 32-year-old has a dream matchup with a porous Cowboys pass defense. He is a streaming option for managers looking for a solid plug-and-play option in their Week 9 lineups.
