Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles gets ready to face a tough Seattle Seahawks defense Sunday after lighting up the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. Bortles completed 26 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout win over the Colts. He also ran the ball three times for 27 yards in the contest. This was the second 300-plus-yard game for Bortles this season. He passed for 330 yards and a touchdown against the Colts also in Week 7.

The Seahawks will be a much bigger challenge for Bortles in Week 14. Seattle has the eighth-ranked defense in the league. The Seahawks defense gives up a lot of passing yards, but they have given up just 14 passing touchdowns this season. That is a tie for the fourth-fewest scored in the NFL. Bortles has one game with more than 250 passing yards against a top 10 defense this year.
Fantasy impact: Bortes is going to come way back down to earth Sunday against Seattle. He has not been great this season overall, failing to throw over 200 yards in five games this season including Weeks 11 and 12. The Seahawks are missing a lot of starters, but Bortles has struggled against good defenses all season. Expect him to take a big step back in Week 14.
