Carson Wentz will start Monday's game against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Kyler Murray is continuing to battle a sore hamstring. Wentz will be a QB2 for fantasy managers in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
Carson Wentz is reportedly trending towards starting in Monday's game against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Kyler Murray is continuing to be evaluated for his hamstring injury. “His status for Monday night is, at best, up in the air, and it sounds like it is trending toward Carson Wentz starting on Monday night,” Adam Schefter said.
Carson Wentz completed 11-of-20 pass attempts for 143 yards while also rushing three times for six yards in the Vikings' 9-3 Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Wentz has struggled to make an impact behind center to begin the season, finishing with less than 145 passing yards in each of the first two games. The quarterback could be relegated to the bench if No. 1 signal-caller Kyler Murray (concussion) is able to suit up for a Week 3 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Carson Wentz is set to be Minnesota's starting quarterback in their matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
Fantasy Impact
The Vikings have ruled out Kyler Murray (concussion) ahead of Sunday's game and announced that Wentz would be the starter in his absence. That's good news for the fantasy outlook of Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones Sr. this week, as Minnesota's offense has been able to produce ample fantasy points in the few occasions that Wentz has been at the helm for the team.
Carson Wentz completed 12-of-19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings 39-22 win over the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Wentz entered the game in the first quarter after Kyler Murray exited with a concussion and was ruled out. He connected twice with Justin Jefferson and once with TJ Hockenson in the end zone. He could be in the QB2 conversation next week in 2-QB and superflex leagues against the Bears.
