Gardner Minshew

Week 6 vs. Detroit Lions
At Houston last week, Gardner Minshew recorded his third 300-yard day of the season and his second consecutive. In the loss, he tossed for multiple TDs for the fourth time already, completing a season-high 31 passes on a season-most 49 attempts. In the past four outings, all losses, Minshew has put the ball in the air at least 40 times. Sunday's contest may be a bit more competitive which makes him a low QB1 option at home versus an average Lions pass defense.

Week 4 at Cincinnati Bengals
Last Thursday versus Miami, Gardner Minshew and the Jaguars offense struggled for much of the first three quarters. In the loss Minshew threw for 275 yards, but was held without a touchdown, was intercepted once, and sacked four times. It looked like a favorable matchup versus a suspect Dolphins defense, but without the downfield threat of D.J. Chark Jacksonville had trouble moving the ball. With a few extra days to prepare, Minshew and the Jags will be facing the No. 6 pass defense. He makes for a QB2 start on the road in front of a limited number of fans.

Week 2 at Tennessee Titans
Versus the Colts in the opener, Gardner Minshew was nearly perfect, going 19-for-20 for 173 yards and three TDs. While the yardage was low, Minshew connected with 10 different pass catchers and three different players scored. In what was a balanced attack, the Jaguars ran just 43 offensive plays. Minshew will be on the road Sunday, facing a defense that yielded 216 yards through the air to the Broncos last Monday. Despite a good Week 1, he remains a QB2 option.
