Should You Start or Sit Gardner Minshew in Week 11?
Gardner Minshew II just doesn’t have the support to return anything close to viable numbers. There will be weeks where Jakobi Meyers and/or Brock Bowers elevate his status to that of a reasonable DFS punt play as part of a contrarian stack, but I’d rather not tempt fate against an above-average blitzing defense that could pin its ears back if it plays with a lead.
Minshew has thrown 139 passes on the road this season — he has three touchdowns and seven interceptions to show for them.
