Daniel Jones vs Jacoby Brissett: Who Should You Start?

Daniel Jones (18.0 PPG) and Jacoby Brissett (16.8 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two quarterbacks are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Daniel Jones played 13 games for the Indianapolis Colts; Jacoby Brissett suited up 14 times for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 1.2-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Daniel Jones threw for 3101 yards and 19 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.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Daniel Jones sits Week 14 while Jacoby Brissett is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

The Bottom Line

Daniel Jones outscored Jacoby Brissett by 1.2 PPG in 2025 (18.0 to 16.8). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
