Fantasy Football Player Notes

After taking over as the Colts starting quarterback last season, Minshew was the QB26 in fantasy points per game. He was pedestrian in every metric I care about regarding quarterback play. Among 45 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked 28th in yards per attempt, 34th in CPOE, 31st in fantasy points per dropback, and 37th in catchable target rate. The on-paper matchup looks tasty, but take it with a grain of salt with a new coaching staff in place and some new personnel in the secondary. Last year, the Chargers allowed the fifth-highest yards per attempt, the 11th-highest adjusted completion rate, and the seventh-highest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Minshew, at best, is a mid-QB2.
