BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds of 2QB Leagues
CURRENT ADP: Overall #221, QB #26
ANALYSIS: Blake Bortles has looked like a much improved quarterback this entire preseason, and it was most apparent in week three against the Detroit Lions. He played the majority of the game with his starting receivers (Though Marqise Lee and Julius Thomas were both absent), and really looked like a potential franchise QB. Bortles finished the night with a 69% completion rate and 8.4 yards per attempt. He didn’t throw an interception, he wasn’t sacked, and flashed some mobility running for 38 yards.
The one downside was once again Bortles and Allen Robinson weren’t quite on the same page, but Bortles was perfect to Allen Hurns and Rashad Greene who are likely to have prominent roles in the offense. The tight ends also got a lot of action, and Julius Thomas should be a big upgrade over any of them. From what I’ve seen a lot of people are still writing off the Jaguars offense entirely, but I think they can take a big step forward this year. That would make Bortles a good QB2 and a decent streaming quarterback against lesser defenses.
