Blake Bortles

Week 6 at Dallas Cowboys
The good: playing from behind last week at Kansas City, Blake Bortles threw 61 times for a career-high 430 yards and a TD. He also ran for 36 yards and another score. The bad: he threw four interceptions and was sacked five times. With Leonard Fournette out of the lineup for most of the past two weeks, Bortles has thrown for over 800 yards and three scores. He’ll have a tougher matchup on Sunday at Dallas, facing the No. 12 pass defense. Despite the recent success, Bortles should still be considered just a QB2 option.

Week 4 vs. New York Jets

After throwing for 377 yards and four TDs in Week 2, Blake Bortles and the Jaguars offense was terrible versus the Titans last Sunday. In the loss to the Titans, the Jaguars scored just six points, with Bortles throwing for 155 yards on 34 attempts. While he ran for 27 yards, he was also sacked three times. He’ll get a chance to be better in front of the home crowd and against a Jets team that struggled against Baker Mayfield last Thursday. However, the Jets are allowing only 204 passing yards per game. Bortles remains a QB2 option this week.

Week 2 vs. New England Patriots

At the Giants last Sunday, Blake Bortles managed the game for the Jaguars, throwing for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The TD pass came on a one-yarder to T.J. Yeldon, as most of Bortles’ tosses were under 10 yards. Last year in the AFC Championship game in New England, the Jaguars opened up the offense, leading to Bortles tossing for 293 yards and a score. With Leonard Fournette battling a hamstring injury, Jacksonville may allow its QB to be more aggressive. The Patriots limited Deshaun Watson to just 176 yards through the air in Week 1, however, so Bortles is still only a QB2 play.
