PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Detroit
Carson Wentz struggled last week against Atlanta. With his two top receivers watching on the sidelines, Wentz only completed 58% of his passes, down from 72% the previous week. He ended up with 231 passing yards, only one TD pass and two interceptions. There are still some issues with the health of Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson. Neither is expected to play against Detroit which definitely handicaps the Eagles passing game.

Wentz will face the Lions at home who were ranked 18th in aFPA to quarterbacks in 2018. The receiver issues makes Wentz's stock drop so he might not be a good option to play this week. He also was forced to leave the game last week with an injury although he did return.

If you have a quality backup on your roster, you might want to consider him although Wentz is still ranked as low-end QB1 for Week 3. Just don't expect big numbers from the Eagles signal-caller.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Atlanta
The Eagles got off to a slow start Week 1 but woke up quickly as Carson Wentz completed 72% of his passes, threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns and was not intercepted. This is what we can expect fro Wentz most weeks and the addition of DeSean Jackson is a huge upgrade of the receiving corps.

Philly heads to Atlanta to take on the Falcons who are 27th in aFPA to quarterbacks. The defense still seems weak in Atlanta and this could mean another big day offensively for the Eagles.

Wentz rates a strong QB1 for Week 2. He should be one all season long as Philadelphia has outstanding offensive weapons surrounding him. Start him in all leagues and formats.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Washington
Carson Wentz only played in 11 games last season so the Eagles are going to need him to stay healthy with Nick Foles gone. When Wentz did play, he was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The Eagles are loaded with offensive weapons, and Wentz will benefit from that in 2019.

The Eagles open with the Redskins who were 13th in aFPA to quarterbacks. Wentz has had success against Washington including throwing for 306 yards and two touchdowns in his only meeting with them in 2018.

Wentz is going to be a top 10 quarterback almost every week, For Week 1, we love him as a top 5 fantasy quarterback. Wentz is also much better at home where he is 15-5. Start him in all leagues and formats.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Carson Wentz has proven he can do the job when he is on the field. The fourth-year signal caller completed 69% of his passes last season and was on his way to a 4,000 passing yard season before he missed five games with an injury. He has thrown 54 touchdowns with only 14 interceptions over the past two seasons which included 24 starts. His quarterback rating eclipsed 100 both those seasons. Adding WR DeSean Jackson in the offseason should help his deep ball threat. Wentz has all the tools to be a top tier quarterback in 2019.

Fantasy Downside
Injuries are the key for Wentz and the Eagles. No more Nick Foles means they are depending on Wentz even more. He missed eight games over the last two seasons. Philly is hoping that Wentz will improve on his weaknesses as he still has forced the ball too much and needs to be on the same page with his receivers which hasn’t always been the case. Wentz win-loss record is only 23-17 which isn’t bad, but in two of his three seasons, he has had a losing record as the starter. Won’t affect his fantasy numbers, but just something to keep an eye on.

2019 Bottom Line
Wentz is on the verge of being an elite quarterback but we need to see more and he needs to stay healthy. Those question marks push him back in the rankings to a high-end QB2. He is actually being drafted higher than he should according to his ADP so unless you really believe he can be your starting fantasy quarterback, we recommend you pass on him as there are better choices earlier that have less risk.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles head to Dallas for a pivotal division match-up. Philadelphia has an implied team total of just 20.25 points, in the bottom third for Week 14 against a strong Cowboys defense. Dallas ranks around league average in aFPA to QBs. Carson Wentz is averaging 18.7 fantasy points in his last three games against Dallas, but anything under 19 makes it tough to reach QB1 status with this season's inflated statistics at the position. Wentz should post decent numbers but not approach elite production due to game pace and the implied team total.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Washington Redskins

The Philadelphia - Washington game has a low over/under of just 45 points. The Eagles are home favorites against a backup quarterback, which could lead to more rushing volume than usual this week. Washington is around league average in aFPA to QBs, and Carson Wentz will need to be efficient to post QB1 numbers this week. We are skeptical that happens, with back-to-back games of less than 35 pass attempts and less than 15 fantasy points.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New York Giants

The Eagles offense was embarrassed in the Superdome last week, but there may be indications of a Week 12 bounce back at home against the Giants. Wentz posted more than 24 fantasy points against the Giants earlier this year and had six consecutive 18-point or more games before the stinker last week. Philly also has an implied team total of 26 points, above average this week. We full expect Wentz to get back to posting QB1 numbers this week, especially with the Eagles potentially only being one game out of the division race with a win and Washington loss on Thanksgiving.
