Carson Wentz

Wentz is set to make his 2018 debut against the Colts, who have surpassed expectations by only allowing 7.2 yards per pass attempt to Andy Dalton and Alex Smith. Too many quarterbacks are rolling to immediately thrust last year's breakout into the top 10, and overly optimistic onlookers should remember Deshaun Watson's underwhelming return from a torn ACL.

Carson Wentz cleared for contact, will start Week 3

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz (knee) will start Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

Wentz was cleared for contact Monday morning and will start this Week against the Colts, which is no surprise. With the way Nick Foles began the year -- he's been treacherous -- I'm shocked the Eagles arent 0-2. However, Wentz has his work cut out for him. Despite a dream matchup facing an improved but still questionable Colts defense, Wentz will be shorthanded at wide receiver, barring Alshon Jeffery's return or a personnel move outside of the team. In his first game back, Wentz should be viewed as a fringe QB1 for Week 3.
