Wentz is expected to serve as Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. The veteran saw limited action with the Rams last season, registering 163 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Carson Wentz will start on Sunday against the 49ers.

Wentz will get his first start in over a calendar year, while Matthew Stafford gets a breather before the playoffs. Wentz won't be too reliable for fantasy managers still playing.

Wentz is expected to backup Matthew Stafford for the Rams. He has been throwing and studying film with Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay. The Rams are on bye with Stafford having a chance to return to next week. If not, it will be Wentz undercenter.

Carson Wentz is spending time in Tampa throwing and studying film with Jon Gruden.

Fantasy Impact

Wentz intends to play this season and is awaiting the right situation. The former first-round pick played in eight games with the Commanders last season, completing 62.3% of his passes, tallying 1,755 yards, and 11 touchdowns to nine interceptions. Wentz will likely only land a job as a starter should an injury occur to a starting quarterback during training camp or preseason.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, free agent QB Carson Wentz is open to playing in various roles in the future to help a team.

Fantasy Impact

Wentz has been benched twice in the last three seasons, playing for three different teams. Wentz could be entering a phase of his career where he may have to backup another QB for a year or two, or maybe another team will be willing to give the former near-MVP another chance as a starter. Wentz seems open to whatever gets him back on the field, according to Rapoport.
