Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Trevor Lawrence

Saturday, August 16, 2:10 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine passes (78%) for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 16-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Minshew found Robert Tonyan in the back of the endzone on a rollout for an easy score. It was a nice sign to see for Chiefs fans, knowing they have a capable backup behind Patrick Mahomes. That said, Minshew will not have any fantasy value this season unless Mahomes gets injured.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions in his team's 36-19 Week 14 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old also rushed for 16 yards on 4 attempts. Lawrence entered Week 14 having thrown six interceptions over his last five games, but he was able to play clean football and lead his team to a win against Indianapolis. Across 13 games this season, Lawrence has now thrown for 2,880 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 11 picks. While he might not be considered a true dual-threat quarterback, Lawrence has been a threat with his legs this season, recording 251 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 61 attempts. He could have low-end fantasy QB1 appeal in Week 15 when the Jaguars take on the New York Jets.
