Brissett will finish the season completing 95-of-161 passes for 826 yards on a 59 percent completion rate with two touchdowns and one interception while appearing in eight games. Brissett also took 18 sacks in the eight games he played. The 32-year-old lacks mobility at this stage in his career and didn’t seem capable of pushing the ball down the field much this season; however, he turned the ball over just twice in eight games, which is what New England wanted from him. Brissett’s intelligence makes him a game-manager type quarterback that coaches tend to love as a backup and that could help him find another job now that his contract with New England has expired. Yet, he lacks any fantasy upside, even if he were to land with a team where there was some potential for playing time.

Forced into action following a second quarter Drake Maye concussion, Brissett was brutalized by drops from the Pats’ awful skill corps, but he kept converting massive third downs against the Jets’ strong defense. That was the story of the real life game. In fantasy, no one produced useful box scores as Brissett and Maye spread the ball around amongst their limited weapons. All attention now turns to Maye’s Week 9 health against the Titans. Brissett would be well off the streaming radar were Maye to sit.

Brissett was sacked twice and pressured early and often by an aggressive Miami front seven. After earning head coach Jerod Mayo’s endorsement this week, Brissett continued making poor throws and created almost nothing out of structure for a stuck-in-the-mud New England offense. Brissett still has not throw for more than 168 yards in a game this season. He’ll take on the Texans in Week 6.
