Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert did not have a terrible game in the Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Jags QB remained turnover free, threw one touchdown and broke 300 yards passing. Even though it was a futile effort on Gabbert's behalf, glimpses of future potential is always a good sign.
Blaine Gabbert surpasses 300 yards passing in Week 8: Fantasy Implications
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert threw 300-plus yards in Week 8. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
Andy Lyons
The young quarterback has his good days and his bad. It’s clear he is still growing and developing as a passer, but still seems a couple years away from being truly competitive. Jacksonville is hoping they finally have their franchise quarterback in Gabbert.
Fantasy Analysis: Gabbert is still not a viable fantasy option. Even though he threw 301 yards in Week 8, it was on 49 attempts. The team was without Maurice Jones-Drew and had to keep up with a high-octane offense in Green Bay. Gabbert is still growing as a passer and as a fantasy commodity.
He is not worth ownership in 2012, but future seasons could bring him into fantasy relevance. For the moment, steer clear of Gabbert in all fantasy leagues.
