Got him for free back in mid-September by dropping Flacco. At the time I figured he might start 1-2 times. This week will the third time using him & I might roll with him ROS. Great volume, two good WRs, good young RB, fat ### TE with good hands. If these guys ever get a coach lookout. Jags could get good quick with this foundation.
Hey Bobby, we had some good discussion a week or so back on Tyrod Taylor vs Blake Bortles rest of season.
Which I do still think Bortles will be the better play rest of season.
After our discussion, in week 10 Tyrod put up
13.52 points in our leagues, and he was in full fledged game manager mode. I see this as happening here and there with Tyrod, he seems to be a slightly more efficient game manager in real life, whereas Bortles is more of a loose cannon, slinger type.
In that week Bortles put up
20.02 in an "easier" Baltimore matchup.
Anyhow, the reason I bring this up, is I didn't get a chance to watch the game tonight....did you happen to see it?
I can only go on the box score and some random articles and notes I could drum up earlier.
I'm thinking we might have seen a bit of the "Bad Bortles"......?
In my one league he put up a sleepy
12.58 , and this week should most certainly be a better week for Tyrod vs NE.
I did read that he had a fumble attributed to him, that shouldn't have been ruled a fumble, but what can you do. (thats only 2 points in my league, so it still wouldn't have been a good night)
If anyone goes onto Yahoo and looks up the boxscore, there is a nice post game interview with Blake Bortles and the NFL network announcers, Deion, Nate Burleson etc.
At one point, Deion asked Bortles point blank "What do you need, what do you need....whats the one other component you need to get you to the next level other than besides the obvious running game??"
Bortles never hesitated at all and said sharply "I gotta quit throwing picks".
He also said he thinks "we can win the division".
They made sure to point out that they have won two games in a row, which must be a big thing for the Jags. (sometimes I do forget this is the
JAGUARS )
I do have a site online I frequent that posts a fair bit of the NFL games and I can stream them, often 24 hours later.
But for some reason, the Jaguars games are never posted.
From the scant few highlights I dug up online, Allen Robinson looked really good, but we need Bortles to step it up a notch for the fantasy playoffs.
