Jacoby Brissett Week 15 Outlook - Patriots at Bengals

He did exactly what he was supposed to against Tampa Bay last week, but he suffered another casualty in the process, as Parris Campbell was placed on injured reserve, joining Eric Ebron, Chester Rogers, Devin Funchess, and unlikely-to-play T.Y. Hilton. The Colts went out and signed Dontrelle Inman who played with the team last year, so at least they have a competent player for Brissett to throw to. The Saints suffered some injuries of their own last week, as edge rusher Marcus Davenport and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins were lost for the season. The Saints have allowed just four quarterbacks all season to average more than 7.56 yards per attempt, with three of them coming over the first three weeks when Rankins wasn't on the field. The fourth one was last week when Rankins had to leave after playing just 8 snaps. You think he matters? The Saints have allowed multiple touchdowns to quarterbacks in 10-of-13 games this year, which helps, but when you know Brissett is throwing to backups, why would you trust him any more than a mid-to-low-end QB2?
