The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a trade to send QB Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
The deal is expected to be finalized this weekend. The Ravens get their new starting quarterback after losing Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to injuries.
Jacoby Brissett has officially been benched by the Cardinals.

Gardner Minshew II was named the starter after leading Arizona to a comeback win on Sunday against the Cowboys. Minshew will start in Week 9 in Seattle.
Jacoby Brissett has been benched by the Arizona Cardinals Sunday according to Darren Urban.
Fantasy Impact
Brissett was taken out after completing 10-of-23 pass attempts for 119 yards and one interception. Backup Gardner Minshew has taken over behind center against the Cowboys Sunday.
Jacoby Brissett completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown, while rushing seven times for 16 yards in the Cardinals' 30-16 loss to the Broncos in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Brissett attempted 48 passes with Arizona playing from behind, but averaged just 5.7 yards per attempt. His lone touchdown went to Trey McBride, and he avoided turning the ball over against one of the NFL's better defenses. The volume, though, gives Brissett some streaming value, but he's better viewed as a QB2.
Jacoby Brissett completed 24-of-35 passing attempts for 218 yards and one interception in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
The Cardinals were able to pick up a stunning win over the Rams on the road on Sunday, but that didn't have a lot to do with Brissett's performance. He didn't throw a touchdown in this game, and in fact, he didn't even lead the offense to a single touchdown over the course of the afternoon. He should continue to be an okay streaming option some weeks but shouldn't be trusted as much more than that.
