Sit: Blake Bortles

The Steelers are the second-best team at stopping the pass in the league right now. They are the only team to surrender fewer than 150 passing yards per game (147.0), and Blake Bortles will have a tough time changing that. He makes costly mistakes time and time again, and this could be the week where the Jags pull the plug. If there was ever a time to jump on a solid free agent QB sitting out there, now would be it. Is there anyone?

After an outstandingly fluky game in London where Bortles threw for four touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens, he’s been dreadful. The International Series game may have lulled owners into plugging him back into lineups, but don’t be fooled – he won’t be around in this league for long, and this game could get ugly. Outside of the games in Wembley once a year, he’s not to be trusted.

So far this year, Bortles only has a 54.4 percent completion rate, and the team’s success has come through special rookie runner Leonard Fournette. The fourth-year quarterback is on his last legs, and you’ll want to find another option to plug into your lineups.
