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.
