Carson Wentz Week 6 Outlook - Chiefs at Bills

Carson Wentz (QB - KC)

He took a step in the right direction last week. It wasn't all pretty but he posted competent numbers against a defense that he matched up poorly against. The Steelers bring the pressure, and it showed when Wentz was sacked five times for 34 yards. That's going to continue to be an issue for him, as his offensive line is banged up, and he holds onto the ball for far too long. His starting right tackle Lane Johnson had to be carted to the locker room last week, which certainly won't help matters. The Ravens hadn't been a top-tier defense when it comes to pressuring the quarterback through four weeks, but they awakened in Week 5, pressuring Joe Burrow a ridiculous 51.3 percent of the time. That was the fourth-highest pressure rate in any single game this season. If they do that to Wentz, he's in big trouble, as he's posted just a 40.9 QB Rating when under pressure this season, which is among the worst numbers in the league. Outside of that primetime game against Patrick Mahomes where the Ravens imploded, they haven't allowed a quarterback more than 7.6 yards per attempt or one passing touchdown. In fact, they've allowed just two passing touchdowns in those other four games combined. The 0.39 fantasy points per actual pass attempt ranks as the fifth-lowest mark in the league. It's also worth noting that no quarterback has rushed for more than 27 yards against the Ravens since the start of last season, so it's unlikely he's bailed out there, either. There are much better streamers than Wentz this week. He's just a low-end QB2.
