Gardner Minshew II News
Sunday, August 23, 12:40 AM
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew II went 19-for-23 for 177 yards with one interception in Saturday's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With Jacoby Brissett resting and Carson Beck (ribs) still recovering from a hard shot taken in the Hall of Fame Game on August 6, Minshew operated as the team's signal-caller until K Slovis took over late in the third quarter. Minshew threw an interception on Arizona's first possession but settled in after that, keeping his stat sheet clean by focusing on short-yardage targets. Minshew had a passing touchdown negated by an offensive pass interference flag on the receiver, tight end Rivaldo Fairweather. He was later robbed of a rushing touchdown due to a false start call. The journeyman backup sits second on Arizona's depth chart and will not be relevant for fantasy unless Brissett suffers an injury. Minshew's final chance for a tuneup will come on August 28, when the Cardinals face the Packers in their preseason finale.

Joe Burrow News
Friday, October 2, 12:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 4. Burrow completed 28 of his 37 pass attempts (76%) for 286 yards and three touchdowns in the 27-30 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite putting up his best fantasy performance of the season, Burrow and the Bengals walked away with their first loss of the year last week. Cincinnati may have a difficult time getting back in the win column this week at home against the Jaguars. The Jacksonville defense has held opposing offenses to 10 points or fewer in two of their three games this season while racking up eight sacks and four interceptions. The Jaguars offense has also been potent to start the year, scoring about 27 points per game through three games. Burrow and the high-powered Bengals offense will have their hands full in this matchup, but should still be able to put up points in what could turn into a high-scoring game. This game is tied for the week's highest over/under, set at 51.5 points as of Friday. Even with a difficult matchup, Burrow is ranked QB5 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings. Fantasy managers should be excited for the potential of this game turning into a back-and-forth affair.
