New England Patriots vs Jacksonville Jaguars: 5 Players to target on DraftKings
By Nick Ziegler
Blake Bortles
One of the top plays in Sunday’s slate will be Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles. While Bortles likely won’t outplay Tom Brady, he does come at a very discounted price. At just $5,000 on DraftKings, Bortles is the second cheapest quarterback with only Nick Foles being priced below him.
In a game that will likely see some scoring on Sunday, Bortles can easily reach value. Whether you think the Jaguars will be keeping it close or playing from well behind in the game, it sets up well for Bortles to get stats.
At the same price last week, Bortles was able to total just over 16 points in Draft Kings. With 214 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and 35 rushing yards, Bortles is a unique option for Sunday.
In his two playoff games so far, Bortles has been excellent on the ground, as he totaled 88 rushing yards in the win over the Buffalo Bills. As a fairly good mobile quarterback, rushing yards are better than passing yards in fantasy. Also, a rushing touchdown counts for more points. Even though it might seem a little risky, using Bortles in the quarterback spot will allow for you to spend your money elsewhere.
