Contract Dispute Clouds Starting Role for Arizona's Projected Top Passer

Brissett is slated as Arizona's starting quarterback ahead of Gardner Minshew II after a productive 2025 campaign featuring 3,683 passing yards. However, a public contract dispute has clouded his immediate outlook, leading to a recent practice 'hold-in' as he seeks starter-level compensation.

When on the field, our models project Brissett to throw for 2,895 yards and 17 touchdowns. While he boasts quality pass catchers, his low rushing floor and the constant threat of a capable backup like Minshew cap his weekly ceiling.

Market sentiment reflects this contract drama. His ADP briefly spiked to 142 when he reported to minicamp before settling back around 196. At this depressed draft cost, our projections view him as a viable, low-risk depth addition in multi-quarterback leagues.

Outlook Bo Nix

Underappreciated Consistency and Upgraded Weapons Make Denver's Signal-Caller a Late-Round Value

Nix is progressing well from offseason ankle cleanup surgery, already participating in walkthroughs and on track to be fully healthy for training camp. As Denver's starting quarterback, he is poised to pilot an offense that recently added playmaker Jaylen Waddle to play alongside Courtland Sutton.

Our models project Nix to throw for 3,777 yards and 26 touchdowns, while adding 335 yards and four scores on the ground. This projection aligns closely with his career history, where he averaged over 3,850 passing yards and 27 passing touchdowns over his first two active seasons.

Currently going off the board with an ADP around 110, his summer draft cost has remained stable. With a high rostered rate of 90% but active start rate of 45%, our data suggests he is an ideal late-round value target and premium backup in standard formats.
