1. Blake Bortles

The Jacksonville Jaguars knew what they were doing when they drafted Blake Bortles, who has developed into one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL. Bortles fills up the stat sheet, and on Sunday, he has a favorable matchup against the Chargers. He should be able to move the ball very effectively in Week 2, leading the Jags to their first win of the season.

Last week, Bortles played a tough Green Bay Packers defense and was still able to eclipse the 300-yard mark. The Chargers are going to look like a scout team compared to the Packers, and Bortles will have plenty of time to hit Allen Robinson or Allen Hurns for a few deep balls. It could be a long day for the home team on Sunday.

The best thing about Bortles is he is always going to be a solid fantasy play. Last season, Bortles threw for over 4,400 yards in his 16 starts, which averages to over 275 yards per game. He also connected on 35 touchdown passes, as he put together one of the best fantasy seasons of any quarterback in football.

On Sunday, Bortles is almost a lock to be one of the most owned quarterbacks in the league. He should be played in daily fantasy, as well as started in your year-long leagues. Look for him to eclipse the 300-yard mark again in Week 2, while throwing for a minimum of three touchdowns against a weak San Diego defense.
