Joshua Dobbs Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring quarterback Joshua Dobbs from the Steelers on Monday in exchange for a 2020 fifth-round pick, according to sources. Dobbs will back up Gardner Minshew with Nick Foles (collarbone) on Injured Reserve for half the season. The 24-year-old attempted only 12 passes for 43 yards and one interception in five games for the Steelers in 2018. Even if he makes some starts in Jacksonville if Minshew struggles, Dobbs would be a bottom-barrel QB2, at best.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs started Thursday's preseason game and went 3-for-5 with 21 yards, while taking one rush for 11 yards along with fumbling on a sack early in the first quarter. Dobbs has been battling with Mason Rudolph to be Ben Roethlisberger's backup this year. One would assume the team would battle test Dobbs in the final preseason game but Rudolph saw more chances to sling the pigskin. Final cuts are due on Saturday so we'll know more of who the team chooses then, but Dobbs doesn't hold much fantasy value even if he makes the roster. He's able to make plays with his feet, but hasn't displayed the ability to be a franchise-leading quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs finished four of nine for 79 yards and an interception in Sunday's preseason win over Tennessee. Dobbs also rushed for 10 yards on five attempts. The third-year signal caller is fighting with Mason Rudolph to back up Ben Roethlisberger. In the preseason, he's thrown for 259 yards and two interceptions with no touchdowns. However, Dobbs' ability to make plays with his feet has kept him in the battle. While the odds are likely stacked against him, the Tennessee product doesn't carry any fantasy value, even if he wins the backup job.
