BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Superflex Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB32
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett has never been a fantasy star. He is the QB28 for the season, averaging 9.3 fantasy points per game. The veteran has 270 passing yards and one touchdown this year. However, Brissett has played well despite having one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL.
Per PFF, Jacoby Brissett has the 8th-lowest pressure-to-sack rate behind an OL that's 31st in pressure rate allowed
He did most of his damage on the ground vs Cincy, but bought time to find Hunter Henry vs the Seahawks

Fantasy players in single-quarterback leagues have no reason to consider starting Brissett this season. The veteran is a capable No. 2 quarterback in deeper superflex leagues despite limited fantasy production. Last week, he scored 10.6 fantasy points against the Seattle Seahawks, totaling 149 passing yards and a touchdown.
Brissett faces the New York Jets on Thursday night. New York had one of the top pass defenses in the NFL last season. They have held quarterbacks to only 10.9 fantasy points per game over the first two weeks, surrendering fewer than 235 passing yards in both contests. The veteran quarterback is a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
