Wow , 2 Qb league?

Yeah. I have Russell Wilson and Trubisky right now. I think I am going to drop Trubisky for him.

Run, don't walk. Or keep Trub if you have room, but only for byes....

I’m officially on board the Minshew hype train... spent some FAAB to get him but excited to be here. I want to start Minshew on TNF over Big Ben

Anyone know what's up with Chark?

Just saw limited w/ chest injury. But don’t believe they actually practiced. Should know more today.

I should have been more clear, it's his 11% target share over 2 weeks that has me concerned.

Gotcha... I still think Chark is the man, but you’re right Cole getting a lot of targets and Jags are committed to getting Viska involved.

Didn't watch any of game 2, but from what I've gleaned from various internet rabbit holes I wonder if it's Grudes. Supposedly Chark looked great game 2 (he did the rare times the Jags had the ball game 1 too), but he isn't the primary read. I get the matchup concerns, but I'd fire him out there one more time before considering altering course. I'm gonna try to stay locked into him, but I'm not apologizing if I get hypnotized by Viska.

Is it time to drop Roethlisberger for Minshew?

I drafted Ben late, and he's been OK. He won't run, and isn't putting up gaudy numbers, but he's solid. It's hard to ignore the drumbeat for Minshew though. After say Lamar, Mahomes, Wilson, Prescott, Murray, Allen, and Watson -- who do you like better than him?

Had the same debate and opted to ditch a backup TE and roster both. I’ve been burned by QB fools gold before... I think Big Ben offers safer floor and hasn’t reached his ceiling. But Minshew sure does pass the eye test and is balling. Good schedule too. Minshew rushes too (20 yards back to back weeks) and I can see that continuing. (Which makes up for at least 1 INT)

I'm moving on from Wentz. He just doesn't look good, neither dose the offense. Trying to decide between Tannehill and Minshew on waivers.

Yeah, I also heard that Gruden could negatively impact Chark. Something to the effect of Chark's position and route tree isn't emphasized in Gruden's offense.

Haha I ditched Stafford for Minshew. Do it. It feels good. Plus Early bye week for Staff gives you a chance to grab him back potentially
