Fantasy Impact:

Following Jacksonville's 12-8 loss to the Buccaneers Thursday night, Marrone announced that there is a competition between Blake Bortles and Chad Henne for the team's starting quarterback job. This wasn't always the case, however. Although Bortles was likely viewed the clear-cut option to be under center in Week 1, he struggled mightily Thursday night as well as in training camp thus far -- he overthrew wide open receivers a number of times -- which likely caused this competition to brew. A top 10 fantasy signal caller in each of the past two seasons, Bortles is an atrocious QB in "real football" and may be out of a job sooner rather than later.
