Colts GM Praises Jacoby Brissett
5 years agoIndianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard praised the way quarterback Jacoby Brissett has handled everything so far in the wake of Andrew Luck's surprise retirement. "He prepares -- he's always prepared like the starter," Ballard said via team transcripts. "And I remember saying this during Andrew's (Luck's) press conference when he retired that, look, Jacoby won't flinch. And he hasn't flinched. He's played really good football -- he's played winning football for us each and every week." Brissett is the only quarterback in the league to have two or more passing touchdowns each week of the season. He has 911 passing yards, is completing 65.2 percent of his passes and is tied for first with Patrick Mahomes with 10 touchdowns. In a game that should feature plenty of passing against the Chiefs on Sunday night, Brissett is an excellent streaming option with low-end QB1 upside. He has some good matchups coming up down the road, too, so he should seriously be considered as a waiver pickup this week.
