Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire

OWNED IN: 18% of leagues

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200

CURRENT ADP: ~250

ANALYSIS: I know, the guy looks broken. He finished 2016 with a fizzle after facing the Broncos, Vikings and Texans defenses in consecutive weeks -- though he had stunk long before then too.

But here’s the thing, we don’t need a guy to be that great and win games in real life to be useful to fantasy. Sure, he can’t be so bad that he loses his job, but Jacksonville appears ready to give him one last season to figure himself out.

You may also be aware that Bortles finished as a top-10 QB in ’16, with his scrambling ability (58 rushes for 359 yards and three TDs) helping offset the 23-to-16 TD-to-INT ratio. If Leonard Fournette can actually make something out of the running game then it’s entirely possible that Bortles turns Allen Robinson back into a hero, Allen Hurns back into a serviceable flex option and perhaps even Dede Westbrook becomes a waiver-wire play down the road.

It doesn’t have to be pretty, garbage time is just fine. Don’t turn your nose up at the opportunity for his slinging the ball relentlessly.
