Who Should I Start? John Wolford or Gardner Minshew

Tuesday, December 3, 2:06 PM

Free-agent quarterback John Wolford is signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 29-year-old is being picked up following the head injury suffered by franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans. Wolford has played in seven NFL games (all for the Rams), completing 58.7% of his passes for 626 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions. Mac Jones will likely start as long as Lawrence is out of action, and veteran C.J. Beathard is in the No. 2 QB role. It would be a surprise if Wolford sees any game action this season, but you never know. For now, this move can be ignored for fantasy football.

The Las Vegas Raiders have placed quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) on injured reserve. Given that Minshew has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 season, this is merely a procedural move. He finishes his age-28 campaign having completed 203 of 306 passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also took 29 sacks and lost four fumbles. It's been a sloppy year under center for the Raiders, who have given snaps to Minshew, Aidan O'Connell, and Desmond Ridder. Moving forward, Vegas intends to start O'Connell, whom they activated from injured reserve on Thursday. However, he's expected to be on a short leash with Ridder waiting in the wing.
