PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Carson Wentz makes his return from major knee surgery after posting MVP-level numbers last season. A conservative, balanced approach should be expected in his return to help him get comfortable. Philadelphia has an attractive 27-point implied team total this week, but the Colts have surprised defensively, ranking 10th in fantasy points allowed to the position through two weeks after facing Andy Dalton and Alex Smith. Consider Wentz a high-end QB2 in his return with obvious upside.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Carson Wentz was QB2 in total points and QB3 in points per game before tearing his ACL in Week 14 last season. His upside is immense—an elite fantasy quarterback capable of putting up MVP numbers in one of the best offenses in the league.

Fantasy Downside

Wentz is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered late last season. It's fair to question whether Wentz will be healthy Week 1, as he is still slowly being incorporated into 11-on-11 drills in practice and probably won't play in the preseason.

2018 Bottom Line

Wentz has an ADP in the sixth round. If he's fully cleared for Week 1, an argument can be made for that price, but it's priced closer to his ceiling than his floor. Wentz will need to maintain elite fantasy numbers to make the price worth it.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Rams

The Eagles-Rams game has the third-highest over/under in Vegas this week at 48 points. Even in a hostile environment against a tough defense, Carson Wentz still posted 16.9 fantasy points last week. Not bad for playing in Seattle. The matchup is even tougher on paper this week, as the Rams are third in our aFPA vs. QB rankings. Wentz's body of work this season still locks him into a top-five QB ranking in Week 14.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Seattle Seahawks

Carson Wentz is averaging more than 20 fantasy points per game, and that includes 24 and 15 points against the Bears and Chargers this season, two top-10 defenses in aFPA versus QBs. He'll face another in the top 10 this week at Seattle, with the Seahawks allowing about 15 points to QBs over the past three weeks. Vegas has good news for Wentz owners this week though, as the Eagles have the fourth-highest implied team total of the week. It is still safe to start Wentz, even in this hostile environment.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Chicago Bears

Carson Wentz has graduated to every week QB1 status this year, and Week 12 is no different. Wentz is averaging 22.6 fantasy points over his last six games, and even though the Bears are sixth in our aFPA vs. QB rankings, Wentz has been too good to bench, unless you also have an elite option after drafting Wentz late this year.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Dallas Cowboys

Carson Wentz heads to Dallas for Sunday Night Football, facing a team he did not have a turnover against in two games last season. The Cowboys are just 18th in our aFPA vs. QB rankings, and Vegas has the Eagles with an implied team total of 26.25, fourth-highest for Week 11. Wentz is a surefire QB1 this week with 10 touchdowns in his last three games.

PHI QB Carson Wentz - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Denver Broncos

Carson Wentz is QB4 in fantasy points per game, but his matchup this week will be a challenge against a Broncos defense ranked top-10 in aFPA vs. QBs. Nevertheless, the sample is large enough at this point with Wentz to ride him out and play him as a QB1 this week, as he's scored at least 15 fantasy points in every game but one this season.
