Gardner Minshew A Streaming Option Against Dallas
2 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew will start for the first time this season against the Dallas Cowboys Saturday. With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) ruled out, Minshew will step in and face a Dallas defense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. However, Dallas struggled to hold Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in check last week, so the 26-year-old backup has a chance to succeed for fantasy with A.J. Brown and company to throw too. There is risk in playing a backup against a top-ranked passing defense, but due to the weapons surrounding him, Minshew has top-12 upside in Week 16 and is a viable replacement for those who have lost Hurts for the second round of their fantasy playoffs this week. The fourth-year quarterback also has high-end streaming value next week against New Orleans if he is forced to start again.
