Carson Wentz
QB - Kansas City Chiefs
28°Availability
Carson Wentz completed 10-of-17 passes for 98 yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Denver Broncos. With the Chiefs resting several starters, including Patrick Mahomes, Wentz managed the game conservatively and avoided turnovers.
Fantasy Impact
With most fantasy leagues concluding in Week 17, Wentz's performance had minimal fantasy relevance. He was not a recommended fantasy option in this matchup.
Carson Wentz will start in place of Patrick Mahomes, who is resting for the regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos. With the AFC’s No. 1 seed already secured, Mahomes will take the week off to prepare for the playoffs. Wentz will have an opportunity to run the offense in a low-stakes game.
Fantasy Impact
Wentz starting in Week 18 isn’t ideal for fantasy managers. He’s a low-risk, low-reward option, and with little to play for, his upside is limited. Fantasy managers competing for a championship should consider looking for a more reliable QB option to fill in for Mahomes this week.
Carson Wentz completed 5-of-10 pass attempts for 31 yards and one touchdown while also rushing once for a loss of one yard in the Chiefs-24-23 preseason loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Wentz was unable to establish much consistency behind center after replacing Patrick Mahomes, minimizing the disappointing outing with a touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy. The dual-threat signal caller remains locked in as the No. 2 option behind center for head coach Andy Reid that will only see the field if superstar Patrick Mahomes suffers an injury for a loaded Kansas City team this upcoming season.
The Chiefs have signed QB Carson Wentz to a one-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
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.
Fantasy Impact
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.
