BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Keelan Cole has been a bouncy play through the whole season; can't lie about that. But when Cole played under Gardner Minshew's orders it was when the wideout logged his best games, too. And if you know anything about Jacksonville, it is that they came back to Moustache Minshew last Sunday after being forced to bench a putridly-performing QB in Mike Glennon.
Before Glennon was put in the pocket, Cole had four games of 15+ PPR points, and another one hitting 10.7. With Glennon manning the pocket, all Cole could do was score 7.4 and 1.7 PPR points in the two games the quarterback fully-completed. Just this past week, once Minshew entered the game replacing Glennon, Cole found the end zone for the first time since he did so back in W10... with Minshew playing QB.
Minshew should be back as the starter next weekend, and that means Cole should get back on track after a few stinkers. Again, this past Sunday he finished with 7 receptions on 12 targets for 67 yards and a TD. And in his other great games along with Minshew, Cole has reached lines of 7-6-58-1, 5-5-47-1, 9-6-143, and 7-5-47-1. That's no joke, and Cole has been a top-24 WR in five of the 11 games he's played with Gardner as his QB.
The Jaguars a moderately good matchup next week against Baltimore (13th-best defense against fantasy WRs), which makes Cole a nice streaming WR3/FLEX for GMs in shallower leagues and a must-add WW target for those in deeper formats. The game against Chicago (3rd-best defense against WR) in W16 doesn't look great for Cole, but his role and Minshew being back should still make him a viable play for 14+ team leagues' GMs out there.
