Jacoby Brissett vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Jacoby Brissett and Will Levis is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback put up 16.2 PPG in 2025 over 14 games; Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans averaged 13.2 in 14. A 3.0-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 3.0 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. Jacoby Brissett threw for 3366 yards and 23 touchdowns, while Will Levis posted 2780 yards and 17 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Jacoby Brissett has his bye in Week 14, and Will Levis rests in Week 5. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Jacoby Brissett is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Will Levis is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Jacoby Brissett (age 33) is on the back end of his prime. Strong now, but dynasty value declines year over year. Will Levis (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
