Jacoby Brissett
QB
Arizona Cardinals
- Top target Kendrick Bourne is on IR, which can lower the passing game.
- Top target Michael Wilson is questionable, which can lower the passing game.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how QBs have played against the Rams in the 2026 season.

How Jacoby Brissett should do vs the RamsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Rams, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Jacoby Brissett has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Rams opponents to line them up with: the best QB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Jacoby Brissett will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Rams avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Jacoby Brissett's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jacoby Brissett usually produces.
Projected is Jacoby Brissett's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Rams were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Brissett averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Prediction & chance to scoreJacoby Brissett vs the Rams
Prediction for Jacoby Brissett
Nobody knows which slot Jacoby Brissett will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Rams.
I predict about 18.8 points for Jacoby Brissett if playing as a QB1. Jacoby Brissett has averaged 16.9 over 5 games, and the Rams have given up 18.4 to QB1s (+9% vs the league average of 16.9).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Jacoby Brissett scored: Wk 1 16.5, Wk 2 6.5, Wk 3 25.6, Wk 4 10.4, Wk 5 25.3. Average 16.9; weighted toward recent games it is 17.8.
2. The defense. Over 5 games, the Rams allowed 18.4 points to their opponent's QB1. The league average for that slot is 16.9, so that is +9%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 5 defensive games, only 63% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +6% adjustment (x1.06).
4. Result. 17.8 x 1.06 = 18.8. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Jacoby Brissett is to reach it as a QB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (18.8) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 9.0 points, leaning on Jacoby Brissett's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical QB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 19.
With only 5 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
