Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles said he plans to have a passing camp in Southern California in February with his wide receivers, tight ends and running backs in order to work on their chemistry.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles struggled in his rookie season with 17 interception and only 11 touchdowns. He has only one 300-yard game this season and threw for less than 200 yards in six games. Bortles should be considered a low-end No. 2 quarterbacks entering fantasy drafts next season.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles should be able to develop under new offensive coordinator Greg Olson, according to general manager Dave Caldwell. Caldwell said Olson has the ability to develop quarterbacks and that his style of offense is tailored for young players.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles still has a lot of work to do to become a viable starting fantasy quarterback. The Olson hire is a positive step, but it's still best to avoid Bortles in drafts.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles developed bad habits and may need to start over, in the opinion of NFL Films guru Greg Cosell.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles has some work to do before he should be considered a viable option at quarterback in FantasyScore contests in 2015. New offensive coordinator Greg Olson should help, but check back as the offseason goes on to see how Bortles is progressing with his new offensive coordinator.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (foot) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Dec. 25.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles should be under center in Week 17, but he is unlikely to provide much value against a Texans team that shut down Jacksonville's offense in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (foot) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 25.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles has been pretty inconsistent during his rookie season and has not thrown for more than 210 yards in any of his last five games. FantasyScore owners likely will be able to find better options to use than Bortles this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (foot) completed only 13 passes for 115 yards in the win over the Tennessee Titans Thursday, Dec. 18, but he didn't show any signs of a mid-foot sprain that made him questionable for the game. Bortles was running bootlegs and scrambling all over the field against the Titans. "If I was able to play, I was going to go play like I know how, like I do," Bortles said. "I wasn't going to go out there if I couldn't run around and move and help the offense at all." He finished the game with 50 yards rushing on five carries.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles put up a gritty performance in the win, but his numbers go to show you why he shouldn't be relied on in any fantasy leagues just yet. Unless he has a setback with his foot, he should be fine to play in the season finale.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (foot) will start Thursday night.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles ($3,800) is still best left out of lineups with a tough test versus the Tennesee Titans combined with his inconsistent play throughout the year.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles has earned positive reviews from the team in his rookie season after being thrust into the spotlight early this year. "That is not the case with Blake Bortles," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was told by Jaguars sources. "They believe it is a good decision, a positive decision for the long-term future of the franchise to have him play this year." The Jaguars like Bortles' mental toughness, deep-ball accuracy and late-game poise.

Fantasy Tip: Bortles ($3,800) has taken his share of lumps in his rookie season without much offensive protection around him. He could be a fine QB down the road, but for fantasy football purposes, he's not there yet, and he shouldn't be started Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans if he plays.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 17, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: It appears like Bortles has a chance to play in Week 16, but owners will have to check the inactive list. Bortles has a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans and only costs $3,800 on FantasyScore, but owners should be able to find a better option.
