Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew mentioned how the team prepares for a fast start on offense each week when talking to reporters on Wednesday. Minshew said: "Yeah, I mean we work on it at practice, coming out the gate hot, trying to really push it and I think we'll have the intensity this week to go do it and its something we're actively pursuing."
After a fantastic start to his career, Minshew had his worst performance as a pro against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. He will look to rebound in Week 7 against a Cincinnati Bengals pass defense rated 26th overall by our power rankings. Minshew may be without his second-option in the passing game, as wide receiver Dede Westbrook is questionable with a shoulder injury. Our models project Minshew for 17.6 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Minshew's Week 7 projection includes 251.1 yards, 1.58 touchdowns, and .72 interceptions. He is priced at $6,900 and is the QB13 in our weekly rankings.
