The Facts: After winning the AFC South and advancing to the AFC Championship Game, the Jacksonville Jaguars won't sneak up on anyone in 2018. Bortles, who will continue his offseason routine working with consultants Tom House and Adam Dedeaux in California, understands there are obstacles facing the Jaguars. But the Jacksonville signal-caller fully embraces the opportunity to show the Jaguars can build on the success of 2017. "I'm looking forward to it," Bortles said. "I think it's going to be a good challenge and it will be a good year."

The QB further explained: "I think from what we did last year, I think the expectations have kind of changed a little bit," Bortles said. "Within the locker room, they were definitely different last year, and I think they are only going to continue to change and grow and get higher." Bortles' positive outlook doesn't surprise when considering he is the team's franchise quarterback. The Jaguars, however, should have more competition within their own division in 2018, as the AFC South projects as one of the league's most entertaining four-team races. But from a fantasy perspective, the Jaguars have bolstered the offense around him. So expecting Bortles to continue producing at a fantasy-friendly level is no reach.
