Jags HC Doug Marrone has plan for QBs

Aug 21, 2017

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone has a tentative plan for his quarterbacks during Thursday night's preseason game against Carolina but he won't be announcing a final decision until Wednesday night.

Marrone said Monday that he wants to see how Blake Bortles and Chad Henne look during Tuesday's practice and Wednesday's walk-through just in case he decides to change his mind.

Fantasy Impact:

Marrone opened up the competition after Bortles turned in another lackluster performance in last Thursday night's 12-8 loss to Tampa Bay. Bortles completed 8 of 13 passes for 65 yards but he twice missed receiver Allen Robinson on deep passes. He slightly overthrew Robinson down the sideline and another pass to a wide-open Robinson was badly underthrown. Bortles also badly threw behind Robinson on an in route. Henne completed 6 of 10 passes for 44 yards against the Bucs. His first throw was a strike to Keelan Cole in the end zone that Cole dropped. Robinson also dropped a touchdown pass later that possession.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
