Gardner Minshew Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew could be a trade possibility for the Carolina Panthers after they made a run at him last year. The Panthers are going back to the drawing board for a QB after they were informed that they are out of the running for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Minshew would be nothing more than a quick fix and not much of an upgrade on Sam Darnold, who went 4-7 as a starter in 2021 before getting injured. Jameis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick are available on the open market and would be upgrades over Darnold. Minshew looked good in two starts for the Eagles last year, but at best, he'd be giving Darnold competition for the starting job in 2022.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He didn't carry an injury designation heading into Week 18, but the team will decide to rest their starting quarterback with a playoff spot locked down. The 23-year-old will finish the 2021 campaign with 3,144 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, nine interceptions while rushing for 784 yards and 10 scores over 15 games in 2021. Gardner Minshew will draw the start in the regular-season finale. The 25-year-old threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 13 win over the New York Jets in his previous spot start. Fantasy managers should remove Hurts and adjust their lineups accordingly.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew is expected to generate significant trade interest this offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With the Eagles committing to Jalen Hurts as their starter for at least the rest of the season, an interesting decision awaits the team in regards to Minshew, who completed 20 of 25 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in Week 13. Rapoport notes that the Panthers inquired about Minshew multiple times, and they're expected to be among the teams interested in the 25-year-old when the new league year begins in March.
