Jacoby Brissett
QB - New England Patriots
2024 Outlook
The Patriots are signing Jacoby Brissett.
Fantasy Impact
Brissett returns to New England where he started his career backing up Tom Brady. The Patriots have said they plan to sign a veteran and draft a rookie this offseason. Brissett figures to compete with Bailey Zappe for the starting job for now, and we'll see if they draft a quarterback in April.
Veteran QB Jacoby Brissett is viewed as an "attractive option" for teams looking to add a QB2 or bridge option, with the New England Patriots expected to be in the mix.
Fantasy Impact
Brissett has made a career for himself as a high-end option for teams looking for QB depth or temporary help under center. Most recently, Brissett played behind Sam Howell on the Washington Commanders. He was set to take over the starting role late in the season before an injury sidelined him. New England was outright named as a potential suitor, who drafted him in 2016, but the Denver Broncos were mentioned as an option as well.
Washington Commanders QB Jacoby Brissett logged his first full participation in practice since suffering his hamstring injury heading into Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Second-year QB Sam Howell has already been ruled the team's starter for Week 18, but Brissett has a chance to be active after being ruled out for Week 17 with a hamstring injury — despite initially being named the week's starter. Brissett will not start a single game for the Commanders and, given he's on a one-year deal, could look for a new opportunity elsewhere in 2024 after showing productivity in small stretches in Washington.
Washington Commanders QB Jacoby Brissett will be inactive for the team’s Week 17 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers due to his hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact
This was expected as Brissett’s hamstring injury popped up during the week, but Brissett was ready to make his first start of the year. Now, he will be the team’s emergency third QB, setting up Sam Howell to start again and Jake Fromm to be QB2.
Jacoby Brissett is shaping up to be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
Brissett was a late add to the injury report on Friday. If he cant go, Sam Howell will be ready to start.
