Carson Wentz Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 2nd 2018, 10:28am EDT

To give you an idea as to how unrepeatable Wentz's 2017 season was from a touchdown standpoint, let's compare him to Aaron Rodgers. Wentz's touchdown rate was 7.5 percent last year, a number that Rodgers has hit just once in his career. Remember, we are talking about the guy who I'd consider the best of all-time. If we dialed back his touchdown rate to 6.0 percent, which is still elite, he would've thrown seven less touchdowns, which would drop him from the QB5 to QB12. Coming off an ACL tear may limit his mobility at the start of the season, which further impacts his fantasy performance. I'd avoid him in standard 1QB leagues because it's now been confirmed that he'll miss the season opener, and potentially more.
