Gardner Minshew Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew will be inactive for his sixth straight game in Week 6 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Minshew was acquired towards the end of training camp from the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Eagles have yet to let him dress with Jalen Hurts and veteran Joe Flacco operating as the starter and backup on gamedays. Managers in dynasty leagues can safely move on from Minshew. Tackle Lane Johnson, cornerback Mac McCain, offensive lineman Jack Anderson and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipuloto will also be inactive on Thursday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded quarterback Gardner Minshew II to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2022 conditional sixth-round draft pick. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the sixth-round pick could be a fifth-rounder if Minshew plays in 50% of the plays in three games in 2021. The 25-year-old was competing with C.J. Beathard for the Jaguars backup QB job, but Jacksonville ultimately decided to move from Minshew altogether. He will compete with Joe Flacco and Nick Mullens for the Eagles' No. 2 QB job behind Jalen Hurts. Minshew won't start for the Eagles but could carve out a role with his new team. The former Jaguar completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 2,259 yards and a 16:5 TD: INT ratio while rushing for 259 yards and a touchdown over nine games in 2020. Minshew won't be on the fantasy radar in 2021 unless Hurts misses time.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterbacks Gardner Minshew II and C.J. Beathard are still in close competition for the backup quarterback position behind Trevor Lawrence. Per SI's John Shipley, Minshew has outperformed Beathard consistently in practice, while Beathard has been superior in preseason action. The Jaguars final preseason game on Sunday against the Cowboys could go a long way in determining who wins the job. Neither quarterback is on the fantasy radar right now, but the QB who wins the backup job should be considered in deep superflex leagues. If Minshew were to fall behind Beathard in the pecking order there's a chance that the Jaguars would gauge trade interest around the league.
