If Brissett Misses Time
Next man up: Gardner Minshew II
Gardner Minshew II is next on the Cardinals depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Brissett managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Brissett misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Trey McBride and Michael Wilson, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
