Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley reiterated that the team wants to give QB Blake Bortles a year to develop behind QB Chad Henne. ‘We really felt comfortable with (Henne) coming back, with a another year in the system,’ Bradley said. ‘And I think it gave us flexibility. Then when Blake was there available for us, we really wanted to capture that opportunity. We do feel good about where Blake’s at, but we feel like this time that he has under Chad – a year to develop – will be really good in the end result.’
Footballguys View: Bortles has some dual threat capabilities and two young wide receivers to grow with, but he probably will not relevant in fantasy leagues this year. This development (if the Jaguars follow through) will likely enhance his chances of being a long-term success. Whether Bortles or Henne quarterbacks the team, the Jaguars are probably not going to produce any true fantasy studs this year.
