Jacoby Brissett's fantasy role in Week 2
Jacoby Brissett goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league QB flyer for the ARI. He is rostered in 5% of leagues and actually started in 1% of them, and we rank him QB25 on our own weekly board at 12.7 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs SEA. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting QB baseline of 17 points, his 12.7-point projection is 4.3 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Jacoby Brissett in Week 2 if you have a real alternative — 12.7 projected points lands 4.3 under the QB starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another QB, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jacoby Brissett (ARI QB), our QB25 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 12.7 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He grades 25% below the average weekly QB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. SEA is the opponent, and that's the part of this I'm least worried about. Only 5% of leagues roster him, so this is cheap production before the price goes up. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
