IND QB Gardner Minshew - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Gardner Minshew filled in for Anthony Richardson admirably last week, leading the Colts to a victory over the Ravens behind 227 yards and a touchdown through the air. Minshew attempted 44 passes and it was good to see him connecting with the top wide receivers for the Colts. Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce combined for 30 targets on the day.

Assuming Minshew starts again - check Anthony Richardson’s status when it gets closer to game time - he has a tough matchup against a Rams defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks this year. Minshew is worth consideration in deep 2QB leagues, but in most formats, he should remain on waivers this week.

Update: It's looking like Richardson is going to play, so be sure to have a backup plan in place if you were looking to start Minshew this week.

IND QB Gardner Minshew - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Baltimore Ravens

Gardner Minshew filled in admirably for an injured Anthony Richardson last week, throwing for 171 yards and a touchdown in a lopsided victory over the Texans. Minshew completed 82% of his 23 pass attempts and looks very capable of starting this week, should Richardson miss the game after suffering a concussion.

The Ravens have been pretty tough on opposing quarterbacks so far this season, limiting C.J. Stroud to 242 yards and a fumble in Week 1, and then forcing Joe Burrow into an interception last week - although Burrow did throw a pair of touchdowns and 222 yards. Expect a moderate day for Minshew, with an emphasis on the Indianapolis ground game, yielding QB2 numbers. He’s worth streaming in 2QB leagues, but in most leagues, he should remain on waivers this week.

PHI QB Gardner Minshew - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New Orleans Saints
With the exception of the two interceptions. Gardner Minshew's first start of the season was a pretty good fantasy outing. He threw for 355 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran for a touchdown. Jalen Hurts has taken snaps in practice this week although there is no indication he will play Sunday.

Minshew faces New Orleans who is ranked 18th in aFPA to quarterbacks. He has had a good track record with the Eagles in games he has played and with a neutral matchup, his numbers should be good again this week.

Start Minshew as a low-end QB1 for Week 17. If you were lucky enough to pick him up last week, he probably helped you to a fantasy win and can help again this week.

PHI QB Gardner Minshew - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Dallas Cowboys
With Jalen Hurts officially out, Gardner Minshew will receive the reigns to the Eagles offense on Saturday. This will be Minshew's first meaningful action in 2022. Last year, he did quarterback the Eagles to a win over Jets and the Cowboys. Minshew had some success in Jacksonville until Trevor Lawrence showed up, but then became expendable and ended up in Philly.

Minshew faces a Cowboys defense that is ranked 5th in aFPA to quarterbacks, but was very shaky last week in a loss to the Jaguars. He will have all the Eagles weapons at his disposal so we expect some success this week.

Minshew ranks as a high-end QB2 for Week 16. If you had Hurts as your starter, it might be necessary to pick up Minshew and give him a start if there are no other options available. He still ranks higher than most of the NFL starting quarterbacks this week.

JAX QB Gardner Minshew - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Chicago Bears
Although the Jaguars were blown out in Baltimore last week, Gardner Minshew completed 76% of his 29 passes for 226 yards and two scores. He’s thrown for at least one TD in eight of the nine games in which he’s appeared this season. Minshew will be facing an above-average Bears pass defense at home this week so he's just a QB2 option.

JAX QB Gardner Minshew - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Baltimore Ravens
After taking over for Mike Glennon in the second half last week versus the Titans, Gardner Minshew lit a bit of a spark into the Jaguars offense, finishing with 31 attempts for 178 yards and a TD. With the team far behind, Jacksonville quarterbacks threw over 50 times, compared to just 15 team rushing attempts. On the road against an average pass defense, Minshew should only be used as a QB2 play.

JAX QB Gardner Minshew - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Cleveland Browns
After missing the past three games with a strained ligament and multiple fractures in his right, throwing thumb, Gardner Minshew will not return to QB the Jaguars on Sunday. After a good first performance, the offense has struggled with rookie Jake Luton under center the past two weeks and will go with Mike Glennon at the helm.
