Jacoby Brissett vs Spencer Rattler: Who Should You Start?
Two quarterbacks who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Jacoby Brissett (Arizona Cardinals) finished the 2025 season averaging 16.8 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Spencer Rattler (New Orleans Saints) came in at 11.5 PPG over 9 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Jacoby Brissett carries a 5.3-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Jacoby Brissett threw for 3366 yards and 23 touchdowns, while Spencer Rattler posted 1586 yards and 8 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Jacoby Brissett is off Week 11 and Spencer Rattler Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
