Blake Bortles has taken a major step back that is crippling the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense, not to mention fantasy owners.

Blake Bortles and the Jaguars’ offense have been a major disappointment this season.

After finishing 2015 as the third-leading quarterback in fantasy points, Bortles is now 12th in fantasy scoring this season at his position. He has also killed the production of star wide receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, as well as tight end Julius Thomas.
All of them have been fantasy stars for most of their NFL careers, but Bortles’ struggles have made everyone in Jacksonville’s offense worth cutting in fantasy leagues.
It is hard to see Bortles turning things around in Week 8 when he faces a tough Tennessee Titans defense.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Bortles as the 21st-best quarterback in Week 8. He faces a Titans defense allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
Keep Bortles on the bench this week, and try to find a better quarterback on the waiver wire going forward. He is not even a good backup at this point.
