The Baltimore Ravens found themselves at a crossroads, sitting at 4-4, with both starting quarterback Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley sidelined. While they'll still roll out quarterback Joe Fagnano on Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Ravens decided to make a move to potentially save their season.
As ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported, the Ravens agreed to trade with the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Jacoby Brissett on Wednesday. Brissett, who's been the Cardinals' starter since the start of the season, was benched in last week's game against the Dallas Cowboys, when Gardner Minshew led a comeback win.

The deal is big news for the Ravens, who sit in last place in the AFC North, but just two games behind the division-leading Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2). It's also significant for fantasy football players who own Ravens players and were left uncertain about their upside with Fagnano.
We'll break down a few names who stand to benefit most from the Ravens' trade for Brissett, starting with multiple names in the passing game.
- Mark Andrews
- Zay Flowers
- Josh Cuevas or Rashod Bateman (wait and see)
- Derrick Henry and Justice Hill (for different reasons)
