Fantasy Impact:
Minshew took the league by storm last season after newly-acquired free agent Foles went down Week 1 with a broken clavicle. Through his first five weeks he was unstoppable, averaging 255.8 yards per game while throwing nine touchdowns and one pick. Over the next four weeks he cooled down a bit, averaging 251.5 yards to go with four touchdowns and three interceptions. The starting job was given back to Foles who looked abysmal in his return. Monshew took the job back in the middle of week 13 and finished the season averaging 197.2 yards and throwing eight touchdowns and two interceptions over that span. That type of volatility is to be expected from a rookie, especially one drafted in the sixth round. One thing is for certain though; Minshew has a cannon and isn't afraid to use it. Surely, Minshew-mania will come back this offseason and he will creep up draft boards, but temper expectation for the sophomore quarterback and expect him to be a low-end QB2.
