Gardner Minshew at Seattle: Takes the Reins in Tough Division Matchup

Gardner Minshew was officially named the starting quarterback heading into Week 9 after providing an immediate spark off the bench against Dallas, tossing 188 yards and three touchdowns. However, his first start comes in a hostile road environment at Lumen Field with light rain, breezy conditions, and a depleted backfield missing Jeremiyah Love.

With Arizona listed as a heavy road underdog, game script could prompt elevated passing volume, but our models project a modest 195 passing yards and 1.2 touchdowns (12.0 fantasy points). Rostered in just 2% of leagues, Minshew is best viewed as a bench option in standard formats and merely a desperation streamer in 2QB setups.
