The Indianapolis Colts have decided to make a change at QB this week, starting their third-stringer Jacoby Brissett over Scott Tolzien Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Brissett took over the QB duties in the third quarter of Week 1 and finished the game with two completions for 51 yards.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 2: Jacoby Brissett
The Colts are handing the offense over to Brissett. Does that make the sophomore QB fantasy relevant?

Brissett has played in a total of four games in his NFL career. He got two starts as a rookie while filling in for Tom Brady last season, averaging 154 passing per game and no scores. Brissett’s only career score was a rushing touchdown.
Fantasy impact: The Colts are just looking to fill the void Andrew Luck at this point. Brissett is not great by any means, but he is more versatile than Tolzien. The former Patriots QB has a lot of setbacks ahead of him though. He was picked up by the team just before the start of the regular season and does not really know the offense. Also, the Colts offensive line is decimated with injuries. There is little chance Brissett will dramatically turn around such a desperate situation in Indianapolis.
