Gardner Minshew Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew completed 18-of-32 passes for 274 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during the team's 20-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 26-year-old also fumbled twice, but the offense recovered both. It was an abysmal performance that has forced Philadelphia into a tough situation next week against the New York Giants. Starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) returned to practice this week but was held out of this game in favor of getting him more rest heading into Week 18. The Eagles will almost assuredly be forced to put him back into the lineup and need him to propel the team to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Minshew will carry no fantasy relevance next week if Hurts returns but will be considered a low-end streaming option for those playing their fantasy title game in Week 18.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. While there were whispers of starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) suiting up for this game, the team has officially listed him as doubtful, leading to another start for the 26-year-old backup. Last week against Dallas, Minshew threw for 355 yards, scored three total touchdowns, and turned the ball over three times. He finished as the QB5 overall in Week 16 and will face a less intimidating New Orleans pass defense this week. The Saints are ranked middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to the quarterback position this season, and the Eagles will not only be playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC but also have a chance to make the draft pick that they acquired from the Saints even better. With none of Philadelphia's top receiving options missing this week, the fourth-year quarterback is one of the top-tier streaming options for those in need during their fantasy football title game.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew received most of the QB repetitions at practice this week with Jalen Hurts (shoulder) battling a sprained right shoulder that kept him out of the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to several players. The Eagles have yet to name a starting QB for the Week 17 tilt against the New Orleans Saints, but the expectation is that Minshew will make his second straight start despite the fact that Hurts was limited in practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old threw for 355 yards and scored three touchdowns in his first start of 2022 last weekend, but he also turned the ball over three times. The Saints defense won't make things easy on Minshew, but he has the weapons around him to be considered on the QB1/2 borderline if he makes another start.
