Jacoby Brissett at Chargers — Low-End Superflex Option Under Center

Brissett enters the opener as Arizona's starter after recently being named a team captain. He commands a passing attack centered around Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride, though the offense may lean more heavily on the air if rookie runner Jeremiyah Love is limited by an ankle issue. Gardner Minshew II is backing him up, giving Brissett full control to operate the scheme.

For fantasy purposes, Brissett is rostered in just 9% of leagues and should remain on fantasy benches in traditional single-quarterback formats. Our weekly projections anticipate a modest showing, projecting 235 passing yards, 1.5 passing touchdowns, and 15.4 fantasy points. Without rushing equity to boost his floor, he is best viewed as an emergency starter in two-quarterback or Superflex setups.

Outlook Jalen Coker

Jalen Coker Primed for an Expanded Slot Role in Carolina's Opener

Coker opens the regular season locked in as Carolina's starting slot receiver following an impressive summer and a contract extension. With perimeter receiver Xavier Legette currently questionable due to an ankle injury, Coker is positioned to absorb steady underneath looks and quick-hitting targets from Bryce Young.

Fantasy interest is noticeably rising as Coker's roster rate has climbed to 67%, though managers are starting him in only 4% of leagues. Our weekly projections forecast roughly 2.7 receptions for 35 yards and 8.4 fantasy points, rendering him an appealing bench stash or deep-league flex option until his weekly target volume stabilizes.
