Fantasy Impact:
Wentz gets another start as J.J. McCarthy continues to recover from his ankle injury. Coach O'Connell suggested McCarthy might have been ready for a Sunday game, potentially putting him in play for Week 9, but Wentz has the job for now. Facing a Chargers defense that has struggled recently, Wentz offers solid QB2/Superflex value for fantasy managers.
