Scouting report

JAX QB Blake Bortles - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at San Diego
Bortles picked up where he left off in 2015, throwing for 320 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay. Obviously, San Diego's pass defense was a bit of an issue last week at Kansas City, as the Chargers allowed 363 yards and a pair of TDs. Bortles and company should be champing at the bit to take their shot as well. Bortles might not be the top start this week, but he should be very good.

JAX QB Blake Bortles - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Green Bay
Green Bay gave up just 20 TD passes last season while also picking off 16 passes. Bortles also was more productive on the road last season, throwing for more yards and TDs despite attempting just two more passes away from Jacksonville. Bortles won't be bad this week, but he's not a sure-fire starter. He'll have to throw to keep up with the Packers, but Green Bay's pass defense is a tough nut to crack,.

JAX QB Blake Bortles - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

2016 Fantasy Outlook
Blake Bortles exploded onto the fantasy scene in his second season, attempting 131 more passes - in two more games - than he did as a rookie. He thew 35 TD passes (many in garbage time, but they still counted) and increased his yardage total over 1,300 yards from 2014 to 4,428 in 2015. He didn't scramble as much last season as he did as a rookie, but he's still a capable runner as well. With the offensive weapons in place, another 4,000-yard season for Bortles should be in the works. But with short-yardage specialist Chris Ivory on board, some of the short TD passes could go by the wayside. The Jaguars defense is also expected to be better, meaning Bortles might not have to throw quite as much. Bortles' ADP of 85 places him squarely in the second tier of quarterbacks. He should continue to improve as his completion percentage increases, so fantasy owners can expect another solid season.

JAX QB Blake Bortles - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Houston
Bortles has turned into the king of garbage time, but what do you care? He threw for 368 yards and four scores last week, with much of the damage coming in the second half. He had 331 yards and three touchdowns against the Texans earlier this season, though he did throw a three interceptions. But the output has been impressive this season and he should finish with a bang. Bortles is a solid start again this week.

JAX QB Blake Bortles - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New Orleans
Bortles' strong fantasy season continued last week, throwing for 297 yards and a score while also rushing for 44 yards and a score. He's been solid all season and will face New Orleans' atrocious pass defense this week. The Saints are dead last in the NFL against opposing quarterbacks and with the weapons at his disposal, Bortles should be primed for a big day.

JAX QB Blake Bortles - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Atlanta
Bortles continued his strong play, throwing for 250 yards and three scores and adding 17 yards rushing and a touchdown. He's accounted for nine scores in the past two weeks. Atlanta has been reeling of late, but the Falcons' offense should find itself against Jacksonville's defense. This has shootout written all over it. Bortles should be a decent start this week.

JAX QB Blake Bortles - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Indianapolis
Coming off a 322-yard, career-high 5-TD effort last week, Bortles now gets to face Indianapolis' cheesy soft pass defense. He had 298 yards and a touchdown in an earlier meeting with the Colts this season. Bortles should be a borderline starter this week. He has 11 TD passes in six home starts this season.
