2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brissett blew his chance to start last season in Washington when he injured a hamstring the week the Commanders finally tired of Sam Howell. This season, though, he could get another shot at the starting job after returning to New England where he played as a rookie in 2016. Brissett will compete with Drake Maye, the third pick in this year’s draft, for the Week 1 assignment. Maye might need some time to develop his mechanics and footwork, and the Patriots can afford to be patient, so Brissett could begin the season under center. The problem for either quarterback, though, is a lack of playmakers in the New England offense. Kendrick Borne, who is coming off an ACL injury, is the No. 1 WR and tight end Hunter Henry is probably the best target. That doesn’t make Brissett, who figures to be usurped by Maye at some point anyway, a great option even in two-QB leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Retaining starting job
Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Brissett remains the Patriots' starting quarterback, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brissett is coming off another ugly loss, this time completing 19 of 32 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception (a pick-six) in New England's 30-13 defeat at the hands of the 49ers in Week 4. He also had three rushing yards on two carries, took a whopping six sacks and fumbled three times, losing one. That actually constituted a step up from Brissett's performance in Week 3 in which he was held to 98 passing yards without a touchdown in a loss to the Jets. Mayo stated that he will "always reserve the right to do something else" and is "always going to do what's best for the organization," per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, but the Patriots aren't ready to turn to rookie first-round pick Drake Maye yet given the shoddy performance of the team's offensive line. Brissett will get another chance to line up under center during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Dolphins at home.

Brissett kept the seat warm for 11 starts last season while the Browns waited for Deshaun Watson to serve his suspension. He held his own in the caretaker role, finishing middle of the pack (more or less) in most passing stats despite struggling on deep throws. While he looked downfield at a good clip -- his 8.5 average target depth ranked seventh and his 47 attempts of 20-plus yards were sixth most through Week 12 -- his on-target percentage ranked 22nd (42.6) and he threw four interceptions on deep attempts (3rd most). After signing with Washington this offseason, Brissett enters training camp as the backup to Sam Howell. Washington wants Howell, whose only start last season came in Week 18, to win the job, but if Brissett finds himself under center he’ll have a good trio of wideouts to target, led by Terry McLaurin. While unlikely to do much more than what he did in Cleveland last season, Brissett is accurate enough to have value in two-QB leagues if he's surrounded by decent talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hanging onto starting job
Brissett received a vote of confidence from Patriots coach Jerod Mayo after a Week 4 loss to the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "Jacoby is 100 percent our starter, and that's how we're going to look at this going forward," Mayo said Monday.
ANALYSIS
While the coach's support is nice, Brissett hasn't done much on the field to warrant keeping the starting job. Through four games, the 31-year-old quarterback has completed just 60.4 percent of his passes for a meager 5.3 yards per attempt, with only two touchdowns against one interception for the 1-3 Patriots. Drake Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, waits in the wings, but New England's reluctance to make a switch under center could have more to do with the team's poor offensive line play than Brissett's performance. Brissett has been sacked 15 times already, including six by the 49ers on Sunday.
