Minshew Mania is back in business. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed in his Monday press conference that Gardner Minshew will serve as the team’s starting quarterback after he led a dramatic comeback victory over the Cowboys. Moreover, rookie Carson Beck will be the backup quarterback, with Jacoby Brissett relegated to emergency third QB. “Just think that’s the right thing to do — continue [Beck’s] development in terms of getting a little bit more reps with the scout team and all that ,” LaFleur said of making Beck the backup. “He’s week-to-week in terms of, he’s feeling really good right now. So, thought that was the best thing to do.” While Brissett becomes an obvious trade candidate as the third QB, LaFleur did not directly answer when asked if he’s expecting Brissett to be with the club beyond the Nov. 10 trade deadline. “Only focused on this week,” LaFleur said. “He’s fully a part of this team and excited to have him still be the teammate I know he is.” Brissett was benched on Sunday after completing 10-of-23 passes for 119 yards with an interception. In eight games this season, he’s completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 1,719 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Sunday was Minshew’s first appearance of the season. He completed 17-of-23 passes for 188 yards with three touchdowns. Minshew’s next assignment will be to face the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday afternoon

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew II entered Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys for Jacoby Brissett and led the Cardinals to a 33-30 win after trailing 17-3 in the third quarter. Minshew was fantastic, completing 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns. Brissett struggled mightily, which is what led to Minshew getting an opportunity, and head coach Mike LaFleur told Darren Urban of the team's official site that he won't name a Week 9 starter between Brissett and Minshew; however, given the performance Minshew put forward, it makes it difficult to ignore, and he should be considered an add in superflex formats. Minshew has been fantasy-relevant at times, finishing as the QB22 in 2019 with Jacksonville and QB21 for the Colts in 2023. Fantasy managers desperate for a second quarterback in superflex formats will want to add Minshew as a speculative add, in case he gets the chance to start
Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur stated that he has not yet decided on the starting quarterback for Week 9, despite Gardner Minshew's successful relief performance in their overtime win against the Cowboys.

The coach acknowledged Minshew's readiness and resilience but did not commit to him for the next game, noting that the decision is not yet made and is a collective one

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew II has entered Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in place of Jacoby Brissett, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Brissett struggled during the first half, throwing an interception and completing eight of his first 20 passes for 104 yards through the early stages of the third quarter. The Cardinals entered Sunday with Brissett firmly established as their starter, despite speculation about a potential quarterback change following a disappointing 2-5 start. Minshew is Arizona's primary backup, while rookie Carson Beck is inactive as the emergency third quarterback. It remains unclear whether Brissett has been benched or if another issue prompted the substitution
Adds: Jacoby Brissett. Drops: Kyler Murray
The Cardinals, no matter how bad they have been, have had the Cowboys’ number. Arizona has won four in a row against the Cowboys and eight of the past nine. In 2025, the Cardinals beat the Cowboys 27-17 at AT&T Stadium before losing their final nine. Jacoby Brissett is 3-16 in his two seasons in Arizona, including the win over the Cowboys. Dallas’ last win over the Cardinals came on Sept. 25, 2017, in Glendale, a 28-17 win. “Yeah, it’s just crazy ,” wide receiver CeeDee Lamb said of the Cardinals’ dominance over the Cowboys, via Patrik Walker of the team website. "[We were] being very, very relaxed, and they punched us in the mouth every single time. They’ve always had more energy. They were more excited, regardless of if it was a 12 o’clock, Sunday night or Monday night. “We’ve played them in primetime. They beat us there. So, we need to treat them as if they are a Super Bowl-contending team, which they may be. You know what I’m saying? Hats off to them in their prep, and we just got to go match them, if not overpower that.” The Cardinals are 4-0 at AT&T Stadium, which is where Sunday’s game is being played. Two of those wins came with quarterback Kyler Murray as the starter. Murray is 9-0 in his career at the stadium in high school, college and the NFL
