After three games, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles’ 2016 season is not off to the start that he or his team had been hoping for. The team has yet to win a game this year and Bortles is coming off a game last week against the Baltimore Ravens where he threw three interceptions.

The quarterback’s current 4.7 percent interception rate is the highest it has ever been in his short NFL career.
Fantasy Impact: This Sunday, Bortles gets to face an Indianapolis Colts team that he and the Jaguars rocked last season for 51 points. In two games versus the Colts last year, Bortles threw four touchdowns and averaged 274 yards passing.
So far this season, Indianapolis’ pass defense may be worse than the last time they played Jacksonville. In three games, opposing quarterbacks are throwing for an average of 311 yards against the Colts.
Yahoo! is projecting Bortles to throw for 268 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception versus Indianapolis Sunday. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on Bortles for a few weeks, but he is not to the point where he should be removed from anyone’s starting lineup just yet.
