PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Washington
Carson Wentz threw for over 4,000 yards last season and that was with his top two wide receivers hurt for a lot of the season. More important was the fact he played in all 16 games for the Eagles. He will have more opportunities this season because he will have more weapons if they can stay healthy.

The Eagles open with division rival Washington. They were ranked 26th in aFPA to quarterbacks last season. Wentz threw for 6 touchdowns and zero picks in the two meetings so this is a very favorable matchup for him.

If you drafted Wentz, you probably did as a backup, but this would be a great week to start him as he ranks a low-end QB1. The matchup and healthy lineup to start the season push him to that ranking.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Carson Wentz played every game last season which was the first time he has done that since his rookie season in 2016. He eclipsed the 4,000 yard mark for the first time in his career and threw 27 touchdown passes with only seven interceptions. All of this was done with a makeshift wide receiver corp and an ineffective running game. No Eagles wide receiver reached 500 receiving yards. He should get some of those veterans back and both tight ends that were the soul of the passing game - Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert both return. The Eagles also helped Wentz by drafting WR Jalen Reagor in the first round.

Fantasy Downside
Despite staying healthy last season, Wentz still has the stigma of being injury-prone. The receivers are still an issue, even with the acquisition of Reagor, and with DeSean Jackson (33) and Alshon Jeffrey (30) getting up there in age. The Eagles must also be more effective running the football and that is still a question mark.

2020 Bottom Line
Wentz is ranked as a low-end QB1 heading into the 2020 season. He takes care of the football and his two tight ends rank in the top 10 at the position in the NFL. Wentz has been going in drafts around the seventh or eighth round which is about where he ranks in fantasy. He is a borderline top-10 quarterback and good enough to be your No. 1 quarterback without having to spend a high draft pick.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New York Giants
Carson Wentz was solid in the win over Dallas throwing for 319 yards and a touchdown. It was his fifth 300+ passing yardage game and his third in the last four weeks. He is playing his best football right now despite a ton of adversity.

Wentz faces the Giants who are 30th in aFPA to quarterbacks, Three weeks ago, Wentz threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns against New York. The Giants were torched by a poor Washington passing game last week.

Since this is basically a playoff game for the Eagles, we expect another big game for Wentz. Start him as a low-end QB1 for Week 17.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Dallas
Carson Wentz was over the 40 pass attempt mark again and his numbers this past week were very good with 266 passing yards and three touchdown passes. He did lose another fumble, his seventh of the season. Wentz is doing well despite having zero experience at the wide receiver position and that will continue.

Wentz has a favorable matchup this week against Dallas who is 24th in aFPA to quarterbacks. He will try to make up for his poor performance against the Cowboys back in Week 7 in which he turned the ball over three times.

Even though the Cowboys defense has been suspect against the pass at times, Wentz has been inconsistent and the injuries have hurt the Eagles overall. Wentz only ranks a QB2 for Week 16 so keep him on the bench.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs New York Giants
There has been plenty of criticism of Carson Wentz over the past three weeks that have seen the Birds lose three straight. Philly has not been healthy and Wentz has turned the ball over too much. This past week, his fantasy numbers weren't bad as he threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns. He did throw one interception, but didn't lose any fumbles, something that has been an issue.

Wentz will face division-rival New York for the first time this season. The Giants are ranked 21st in aFPA to quarterbacks in 2019. Last year, Wentz averaged 257 passing yards in the two games against the G-Men and threw four touchdown passes without a pick.

This is a good place for the Eagles and Wentz to right the ship. Start him as a solid QB1 in all leagues and formats.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Miami
Carson Wentz threw a season-high 45 passes and threw for 256 yards. However, he did throw two interceptions which were his first picks since Week 7. The perception right now is Wentz is not playing well and his touchdown total has confirmed that as he has not thrown multiple touchdown passes in a game since Week 6.

Wentz faces the Dolphins who are ranked 28th in aFPA to quarterbacks. It should be a good time for Wentz to break out as he should have this top three receivers available, something that hasn't happened in recent weeks.

Start Wentz as a low-end QB1 for Week 13. The matchup is the key to having a big day as the Dolphins haven't been good against the pass.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Seattle
Carson Wentz continues to struggle as the Eagles look like an infirmary on offense. Wentz threw for 219 yards and one touchdown. That is now four straight games for him throwing only one touchdown pass in each game.

The Eagles aren't getting any healthier as skill players are shuffled in and out of the lineup. Now, Wentz faces the Seahawks who are 16th in aFPA to quarterbacks.
