Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew (thumb) to miss Week 9

Nov 02, 2020

Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone said today that Gardner Minshew’s thumb injury is going to force him to sit for at least one game.

Fantasy Impact:

In a bit of a surprise, Marrone said it will be rookie quarterback Luton, not veteran backup Glennon, who works with the first-string offense this week. Luton, who threw 28 touchdown passes and only three interceptions at Oregon State last season, was a sixth-round pick of the Jaguars. Marrone said he thinks it’s time to see what the kid can do, according to the story. It doesn't sound like good news for Minshew and his owners. It may not be a lock Minshew returns to the starting job when healthy.

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

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.
