Joshua Dobbs Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars cut both backup quarterback Mike Glennon and Joshua Dobbs on Saturday, according to a source. It comes as a surprise and means that it will be starter Gardner Minshew II and Jake Luton as the only signal-callers on the roster for now. Glennon, a third-rounder by the Buccaneers in 2013, has thrown for 5,163 yards, 36 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in six years with Tampa, Chicago, Arizona and Oakland. There's a chance that either he or Dobbs returns to the team in a backup role, but it's clear the Jags are comfortable with Minshew as the starter after he overachieved in 2019 in his rookie season. Minshew has good improvisational skills, but Jacksonville's roster has mostly been gutted and he won't have a very high ceiling as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.

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.
