Jacoby Brissett secured baseline NFL starter money on his revised deal to command Arizona’s offense starting in Week 1. He posted a +10.8 Production Premium (No. 3) last season, showing he can drive a pass offense despite team play-calling volume. Brissett provides a stable floor to fuel target volume for Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Michael Wilson.
The Cardinals are projected to lose most of their games, setting up Brissett to be a garbage time producer again in 2026. Brissett is the classic superflex and best ball QB3 with very little value in traditional, single QB formats. Brissett’s contract value lowers the probability that Carson Beck starts games in 2026.

Here we go. Marvin Harrison Jr. caused a stir at Arizona’s practice, pointing to his ankle before stretching his back on the sideline. Coming off a frustrating season plagued by a disappointing 16.4-percent Target Share (No. 83), Harrison Jr.’s NFL prestige continues to fade.
Tuesday’s practice participation will determine whether this physical setback threatens his training camp availability. Meanwhile, Arizona is working with Michael Wilson on a contract extension. The clock is ticking for Harrison Jr. to prove he is physically and mentally capable of becoming a productive NFL player.
Draft status and a 95th-percentile College Dominator Rating designate Marvin Harrison Jr. as the nominal top wideout in Arizona, but a summer camp competition looms. Meanwhile, Michael Wilson continues to push for opportunity despite contract extension delays, coming off an efficient campaign featuring a 104.2 Explosive Rating.
With Trey McBride absorbing significant target share in the middle of the field, the loser of this perimeter battle risks falling to the dreaded third spot in the receiving hierarchy. Wilson continues to build buzz following his monster 2025 second half, while Harrison’s lackluster first two seasons are looking more and more like a consistent trend with each passing day in Arizona.
Michael Wilson established a high-ceiling profile during his late-season surge from Weeks 11-18, pacing fantasy managers to league titles by converting 87 targets into 56 receptions, 775 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. While General Manager Monti Ossenfort publicly supports keeping the former Stanford product long-term, Arizona’s overall target hierarchy remains crowded heading into the 2026 season.
Wilson low weekly floor is a function of heavy volume competition from teammates Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. in the Cardinals’ passing game. Wilson demonstrated a higher ceiling than “Marv” in the second half of 2026 and contract extension rumors enhances his projected lifetime value in fantasy football dynasty leagues.
Jacoby Brissett remains the primary starting quarterback option in Arizona despite executing a contract hold-in that has kept him out of individual and team drills. While team victories may be sparse, he proved capable of fueling multiple fantasy pass-catchers last season by leading the NFL with 41.6 Team Pass Plays Per Game.
Team reporter Darren Urban notes that despite the ongoing financial stalemate, the organization still views Brissett as the definitive leader under center for 2026. He is “the guy” in Arizona. Brissett is currently an attractive buy-low option in fantasy football superflex formats.
Jacoby Brissett officially reported to Arizona minicamp, ending a brief contract stalemate after leading the NFL with 41.6 Team Pass Plays Per Game last season. The veteran quarterback is attempting to leverage a new deal, but ownership remains silent despite Brissett delivering 16.8 Fantasy Points Per Game to finish as the overall QB16 in 2025.
Brissett will inevitably end the tepid hold-in and continue to operate as a high-volume bridge option while third-round rookie Carson Beck learns from the sidelines. Continue to draft Michael Wilson and Trey McBride with confidence.
