Gardner Minshew II (QB, JAX) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I already wrote about Minshew last week, and here I am again introducing you to the Minshewmania once more, just in case you missed it the last time. See, I get the critics dropped on Minshew for his fourth-quarter interception that sealed the Jaguars' loss. What I also get is that Minshew is a freaking top-tier quarterback these days and one of the most solid at it.

After a 19/20 passing performance in Week 1, Minshew stepped up his game for his second-week outing and completed 30 of 45, lower on completion rate but on a much higher sample and the number of attempts. Minshew reached all of 339 passing yards, which rank as the eight-most in two weeks through Sunday, and tossed three TDs against two interceptions. He also added 19 yards on the ground.

Minshew is the closest thing to James Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick this season. That means, he is one of the highest-volume, what-the-heck plays weekly. But don't get it wrong, he is also one of the most steady fantasy players with finishes of 20+ and 24+ FP in his first two games. Minshew lives in the 18-to-22 fantasy points range and rarely leaves it. If you want a reliable play, it doesn't get much better than rostering Minshew these days.
