Gardner Minshew, the real-life Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback, is tied for first in his fantasy football league with high school friends. But he’s winning without Gardner Minshew, the fantasy-football quarterback, according to ESPN.
In fact, in Minshew’s league, no one owns Minshew. (This seems like a missed opportunity for Minshew’s friends, who should be trolling him every week by benching him. But I digress.) Minshew instead owns quarterback Kyler Murray (QB7), who has 101 points to Minshew’s 91 (QB11). And while it’s a keeper league, Minshew blew up his team and decided to draft entirely anew.
Here’s what Minshew’s buddy Tre Polk told ESPN about the team:
“It was ridiculous,” Polk says. “He must have known something about Melvin Gordon, and he worked out with Josh Jacobs and liked what he saw so he took him, and he took the Patriots defense, and he grabbed Austin Ekeler …” Polk goes on for a few minutes like this before putting on the bow. “Bottom line: He redrafted, like, his whole team, and he’s tied for first place. He just sees the game in a different way.”
While Minshew’s roster sounds impressive, it sounds like it’s missing a mustache — the mustache.
