Jacoby Brissett

Jacoby Brissett reportedly “is the starter" for the Patriots entering training camp.

Fantasy Impact

It makes sense as of now that the veteran could start for New England in Week 1. Drake Maye could still work his way into the immediate starting role with a strong training camp. This will be a camp battle to monitor.

Patriots OC Alex Van Pelt noted that right now Jacoby Brissett is the starting quarterback for New England.

Van Pelt noted that there’s no timeline for when Drake Maye might become the Patriots starting quarterback. It will likely be some sort of competition throughout camp between the rookie and veteran with Brissett currently having the edge.

Jacoby Brissett took the first reps at quarterback on Monday at Patriots OTAs.

It is still very early, but it is at least worth monitoring. Brissett was followed by Bailey Zappe and Drake Maye. Brissett signed a deal with the Patriots this offseason, and should be right in the mix to start Week 1 for New England.

The Patriots are signing Jacoby Brissett.

Fantasy Impact

Brissett returns to New England where he started his career backing up Tom Brady. The Patriots have said they plan to sign a veteran and draft a rookie this offseason. Brissett figures to compete with Bailey Zappe for the starting job for now, and we'll see if they draft a quarterback in April.

Veteran QB Jacoby Brissett is viewed as an "attractive option" for teams looking to add a QB2 or bridge option, with the New England Patriots expected to be in the mix.

Fantasy Impact

Brissett has made a career for himself as a high-end option for teams looking for QB depth or temporary help under center. Most recently, Brissett played behind Sam Howell on the Washington Commanders. He was set to take over the starting role late in the season before an injury sidelined him. New England was outright named as a potential suitor, who drafted him in 2016, but the Denver Broncos were mentioned as an option as well.
