Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 with Tua Tagovailoa (finger) sidelined versus the Houston Texans.
Tagovailoa's x-rays revealed that the young quarterback was dealing with a fractured middle finger in his throwing hand, and with this week's matchup against the struggling Texans, the Dolphins have decided to play it safe with their franchise quarterback. Brissett is expected to fill in for Tagovailoa as he did earlier in the season.
Brissett is averaging 17.02 fantasy points per game in his starts this season and has a $6,100 salary on FanDuel.
