Raiders name Gardner Minshew as starting QB for Week 1

[polecatt 485]

He's a low end back up fantasy QB I suppose....

I would say a mid to high end QB2. His ceiling isn't high enough to be a QB1 IMO.

I wouldn't want him as my week to week starter but he's not a bad back up or streaming option..

If he has a decent supporting cast, he can put up serviceable numbers pretty consistently

Not even on the target list, might not even be stream worthy, if he comes out having a horrible start week one, I can see a second half switch.

So much for Just Win Baby.

agreed.  he will have some good weeks.   highly underrated player.   I'm glad hes getting a chance to start.

I do think he was the better QB but I saw one or two reports saying  as a whole that offense has apparently not looked great in pre season.   but I'm always skeptical about these reports that say this and  then dont actually say what seems to be the problem.    ie.  line, QB play, WR not getting open etc.

so it might have just been click bait

I think this helps adams out a lot. I think Gardner will look his way always

I think he’s done half time week one.
