Carson Wentz Week 2 Outlook - Chiefs at Chargers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:01am EDT

We knew the Eagles were down three offensive lineman, but what we didn't know was that Wentz was going to hold onto the ball for far too long. He was continually uncertain and it led to him getting sacked eight times for 62 yards. He also fumbled twice (lost one). It was a bad game all around for him, and the matchup doesn't get any better this week. Washington has one of the most talented front sevens in football, but Aaron Donald should count as two players, making life unfair on offensive lines. The Cowboys were a team that many had ranked as the No. 1 unit in the league, and the Rams defensive line continually brought pressure to Dak Prescott, limiting him to just 6.8 yards per attempt. There were just two games in 2019 where he averaged fewer yards per attempt. The Rams aren't untouchable, though. There were three games in 2019 where they allowed 29-plus fantasy points to quarterbacks, though every other quarterback was held to fewer than 18 fantasy points. It's also worth noting that only one of those 29-point games came with Jalen Ramsey on the team. Knowing I don't expect Jared Goff to play particularly well, I can't see a whole lot of pass attempts for Wentz in this game. He should be considered a mid-to-high-end QB2 who might not have a very high ceiling.
