Gardner Minshew II Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and general manager David Caldwell said that the team will let quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles compete for the starting job in 2020. Joshua Dobbs will also be a part of the competition, which will begin as soon as organized team activities kick off this spring. Marrone suggested that the Jaguars won't select their starter until the preseason. Caldwell may have a soft spot for Minshew, but the Jags also signed Foles to a four-year, $88 million deal ($45 million in guarantees) in March of last year. Foles broke his collarbone in Week 1 and was benched upon his return. Minshew, a rookie in 2019, showed flashes but was mostly a game manager in this run-first offense. Whoever is under center to start next season will be a middling QB2 option.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew ended his rookie campaign on a high note, going 27-for-39 for 295 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also added seven rushing yards. Minshew will likely enter 2020 as Jacksonville's starting quarterback and will have a chance to establish himself as the team's long-term starter, though his 2019 season suggested that Minshew's ceiling is limited. He'll likely have an ADP around QB20 when next season arrives.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and quarterback Gardner Minshew (shoulder) are both active for Week 17 against the Colts. Running back Leonard Fournette (neck) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (wrist) have been officially ruled out. Westbrook's fantasy upside is limited with both D.J. Chark and Chris Conley commanding targets in this run-first offense, but perhaps Jacksonville will air it out more with Fournette sidelined in this meaningless Week 17 game. Westbrook is a low-upside WR4/flex, while Minshew is a midrange QB2 in an offense that has struggled in the second half of the season. Fournette finishes with another 1,000-yard season, but he found the end zone just three total times.
