The Jaguars are sticking with Blaine Gabbert as their starting quarterback. Chad Henne remains No. 2 on the depth chart, and that won't change anytime soon.

Analysis: Henne has not looked good in preseason so far. He has completed eight of his 18 passes for 64 yards, throwing one touchdown and a pick as well. Third-string quarterback Jordan Palmer is even receiving more praise than Henne at this point, but their positions will stay the same, for now. Henne only played four games with the Dolphins in 2011 after going down early with a shoulder injury. It may still take some time for him to get back to the form he used to be in, but even at that point Gabbert looks like he'll be leading the offense in Jacksonville. Gabbert is still only a backup at best, though, for any fantasy owner.
