Team news: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars have activated QB Gardner Minshew II and S Andrew Wingard from our Reserve/COVID-19 list and have moved CB D.J. Hayden off the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Minshew is now on the active roster. We rank Minshew 25th on our QB list but feel he offers good value at that spot. He averaged 16.6 fantasy points per game last year, which would have ranked 15th among QBs.

Jags have placed RB Ryquell Armstead, TE Charles Jones, QB Gardner Minshew II, WR Michael Walker and S Andrew Wingard on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

With Nick Foles out of the picture, Minshew is slated to start for the Jags this season after an impressive rookie season in 2019. Being on the list means he tested positive or was in contact with someone who did.

RB Chris Thompson is signing a one-year deal with the Jaguars, per source. Good pass-catching option out of the backfield for Gardner Minshew.

Chris Thompson joins Jay Gruden in Jacksonville for the 2020 season, He averaged 3.4 receptions per game over the last five seasons under Gruden, and should step into third-down duties for the Jags. Thompson is a nice, later-round option in PPR formats.

The Jaguars have downgraded RB Leonard Fournette (illness, neck) to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Colts.

Fournette was originally listed as questionable with the neck injury and now has an illness to go along with it. In a meaningless game, this likely means Fournette is all but out Sunday and Ryquell Armstead will get the start in place of Fournette.
