- : Jacoby Brissett: Listed Out (Coach's Decision) (Sleeper injury feed)
Start Jacoby Brissett: 85 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Caleb Douglas's 80 percent of the snaps and 16 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size308 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Caleb Douglas, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jacoby Brissett, and the board ranks him 96th overall on the rest of his evidence.
In 2QB drafts he goes at ADP 44.
The market-based projections
Caleb Douglas's market-based projection is 8.4 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 100th highest figure of the 224 players with a market-based projection.
No season market is posted for Jacoby Brissett, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Caleb Douglas has been on the field for 82 percent of MIA snaps, drawn 19 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 8 of the offence's 30 third down targets, had 0 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 5 of its 14 two minute targets.
His 19 targets have averaged 12.3 air yards.
In Week 2 against SF he caught 2 of 3 targets for 19 yards and did not score.
In Week 7 against NYJ he caught 2 of 3 targets for 70 yards and scored 2 touchdowns.
In Week 8 against NE he caught 4 of 6 targets for 43 yards and did not score.
Through Week 8, Jacoby Brissett has been on the field for 94 percent of ARI snaps, dropped back 331 times and thrown 7.2 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 61 of 331 dropbacks and scrambled 9 times.
In Week 6 against LAR he completed 24 of 35 passes for 218 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 2 yards.
In Week 7 against DEN he completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions and ran 7 times for 16 yards.
In Week 8 against DAL he completed 10 of 23 passes for 119 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 3 times for 7 yards.
Their 2025 seasons
Caleb Douglas is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 Jacoby Brissett played 14 games and scored 235.4 PPR points, 16.8 a game, finishing QB16.
He threw for 3366 yards on 485 attempts with 23 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, and ran for 168 yards and 1 touchdown.
That came to 34.6 attempts a game at 6.9 yards an attempt.
He was on the field for 70 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Side by side
Caleb Douglas is a wide receiver and Jacoby Brissett a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Caleb Douglas is off in Week 6 and Jacoby Brissett in Week 14, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
Jacoby Brissett has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
