Chad Henne

Chad Henne completed eight of 14 passes for 73 yards and added a 14-yard rush in five drives in the Jaguars' loss to the Panthers on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

Henne has begun to separate himself from Blake Bortles with three solid performances this preseason. He appears to have better command of the offense and has showed superior accuracy. The only way Henne is relevant is if he wins the starting job, but even then he will only be relevant in superflex or two-QB leagues. At this point, with the position unsettled, there's no reason to consider him in any fantasy league.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Jacksonville Jaguars will start Chad Henne in the team's third preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Rapoport is adding that although Henne will get the start over Blake Bortles, both signal callers will receive first team reps. If Henne plays well while Bortles continues to struggle, Henne could win the job sooner rather than later. At this point, it appears that Bortles' tenure as the Jaguars' QB1 could be coming to an end.

Chad Henne threw for 44 yards on six of 10 passing on Thursday in relief of Blake Bortles.

Fantasy Impact

While Bortles is still the starter in Jacksonville, Doug Marrone made it very clear after the game that there is a competition for the starting job between him and Henne. With the play of Bortles being erratic at best, look for Henne to take over the starting job sooner rather than later. That being said, Henne should still not be drafted in standard-sized leagues, as he will be available on the waiver wire when the move does take place.

The Jacksonville Jaguars re-signed quarterback Chad Henne on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Henne was re-signed with the Jaguars Wednesday. He will continue to backup presumed starter Blake Bortles in 2017. The nine-year veteran did not attempt a pass last season.

Chad Henne signed a 2-year, $8 million deal on Thursday to remain with the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Chad Henne is a reliable, NFL backup quarterback to Blake Bortles in Jacksonville. Henne has experience as a starter and would keep the Jaguars in games if Bortles was to exit due to injury.
