What It Means:

“I think he’s doing a nice job, I really do,” Marrone said of his much-maligned quarterback. “I think this is, for me personally, the best I’ve seen him.” Bortles showed improvement in the Jaguars' third preseason game, but the competition will be monumentally tougher in Week 1 against J.J. Watt and the Houston Texans. Stranger things have happened, but it seems unlikely that this will be the year the former third overall pick finally puts it all together.

numberFire's models project Bortles to complete 57.6 percent of his passes for 3,594.1 yards this season with 24.60 touchdowns and 15.6 interceptions while adding another 248.5 rushing yards and 2.17 scores on the ground. He's our 19th-ranked fantasy quarterback entering the 2017 campaign.
