Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy was ruled out with an ankle injury after the first two weeks of the season, setting up veteran Carson Wentz to take over under center. However, Wentz has not performed particularly well either, though his EPA per play has outmeasured McCarthy's (0.166 vs. -0.236). The Vikings might have a decision to make going forward, as Wentz could be the better option for winning this season while McCarthy is in the team's long-term plans.
