Carson Wentz isn't a factor in 1QB leagues as our #25 QB. His role as the starter in Washington makes him worth owning in 2QB leagues, even if you're not starting him in fantasy. Wentz is projected to earn 35.2 of his 253 fantasy points by rushing. While that's a nice bonus, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan.

Brian Robinson Jr. might be gone before you can draft him at his ECR of 181, due to an ADP of 136. Raheem Mostert (ADP 137, ECR 131) or Khalil Herbert (ADP 138, ECR 134) might be a better value. At a projected workload of 9.4 touches per game (8.4 carries and 1.0 receptions), Robinson is a player you won't want to start if you can avoid it.
