Cam Ward vs Jacoby Brissett: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Cam Ward and Jacoby Brissett is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Tennessee Titans quarterback put up 11.4 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Jacoby Brissett of the Arizona Cardinals averaged 16.8 in 14. A 5.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.4 points favors Jacoby Brissett, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one quarterback to the other.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Cam Ward threw for 3169 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Jacoby Brissett posted 3366 yards and 23 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Cam Ward has his bye in Week 5, and Jacoby Brissett rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
