Gardner Minshew II Fantasy

Teams have been calling the Jacksonville Jaguars to express interest in a possible trade for quarterback Gardner Minshew II. With the Jaguars fully expected to take Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming draft, teams are calling to see if Minshew is available. Minshew does have starting experience and is young, so teams could see him as a nice fit as a backup quarterback or as an insurance policy if the Jags are interested in dealing him. The 24-year-old started nine games in 2020 before getting injured and benched, but he did manage to throw for over 2,250 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. While Minshew mania swept the nation in 2019, he's unlikely to fall into a starting role somewhere else if he's traded by Jacksonville this offseason.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns on 22-for-29 passing during the loss to Baltimore on Sunday. He also had two carries for nine yards. The sophomore had an acceptable outing while also compiling his third touchdown toss in the last two weeks. Things won't get much easier for the signal-caller moving ahead, however, as the Jaguars will meet the Bears and Colts in the final two games of the year.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback Gardner Minshew II will start in Week 15 against the Ravens. The Mike Glennon experiment is over, at least for the time being, after he went 13-for-23 for just 85 yards and an interception in the Week 14 loss to the Titans before being benched. Minshew Mania probably gives the Jags their best chance of winning, although the second-year signal-caller is still probably nothing more than a glorified game manager under center. The 24-year-old replaced Glennon on Sunday and was 18-for-31 for 178 yards with a touchdown and a pick. He'll make his first start since Week 7 against the Chargers, after which he notified the team he had been playing through a thumb ailment. Minshew is fully healthy now, but he'll be a weak QB2 option for those in superflex leagues in a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Ravens.
