Week 16 at Dallas Cowboys
With Jalen Hurts officially out, Gardner Minshew will receive the reigns to the Eagles offense on Saturday. This will be Minshew's first meaningful action in 2022. Last year, he did quarterback the Eagles to a win over Jets and the Cowboys. Minshew had some success in Jacksonville until Trevor Lawrence showed up, but then became expendable and ended up in Philly.
Minshew faces a Cowboys defense that is ranked 5th in aFPA to quarterbacks, but was very shaky last week in a loss to the Jaguars. He will have all the Eagles weapons at his disposal so we expect some success this week.
Minshew ranks as a high-end QB2 for Week 16. If you had Hurts as your starter, it might be necessary to pick up Minshew and give him a start if there are no other options available. He still ranks higher than most of the NFL starting quarterbacks this week.
