Gardner Minshew hasn't only been playing well on the field this season, but he's also having a good year in his dynasty fantasy football league.

Minshew's close friend Tre Polk told ESPN's Sam Borden about the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback's fantasy prowess and how he redrafted nearly his entire team - named Trust the Process - this past summer.

"It was ridiculous," Polk said. "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 ... Bottom line: He redrafted, like, his whole team, and he's tied for first place. He just sees the game in a different way."

Minshew didn't draft himself, instead opting for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.

"That's the thing. I keep waiting for him to pick himself up, but no one took him," Polk said. "Gardner Minshew is available in Gardner Minshew's fantasy league."

Minshew has completed 66.7% of his passes for 1,279 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception through five games this season, while Murray has completed 62.7% of his passes for 1,324 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions.
