Depends on a ton of your league settings. But sure I suppose if you dont have short benches and don't have a top 10 fantasy qb right now then he's worth the grab.I’ve noticed Wentz is out there on a lot of ww’s. Anybody think now is the time to pick him up as his weapons are close to returning or is this just a lost season?
What if you've got Lamar Jackson? Asking for a friend.Deamon said:Depends on a ton of your league settings. But sure I suppose if you dont have short benches and don't have a top 10 fantasy qb right now then he's worth the grab.
Jeffery is long past washed up, Jackson is borderline and Reagor is a rookie. Not loving him in redraft. Hell, in redraft I'm surprised he isn't on waivers. Maybe in dynasty but all depends on prices.I’m just thinking that it’s the perfect storm for him. He’s going to get back Jeffery, Godert Jackson, Reagor.
Yep it's all relative. Wentz will improve... but not to the point of being a fantasy stud.most days i'd tell you Milkman is crazytalk. but, as a Wentz apologist and a Eagles fan, i'm losing faith by the day. the bad decision after another can't all be attributed to the bad oline and supporting cast, though it could be a David Carr@Hou situation where it's basically PTSD after each series of running for his life. For long term, i just don't know.
But as a lottery ticket for the back half of this year, what other QB is left on the wire who could end up top 10 rest of the way? the team won't be full strength at WR until after the bye week and that oline is still iffy, but schedule looks good and if everyone can get back on the field healthy you could do a lot worse. not a ringing endorsement, i know, lol.
12 QBs who will finish the season with more points than WentzI understand people being skeptical, but he’s had nothing to work with thus far. If he gets his weapons back, I don’t think he’s going to be a stud, but it’s not out of the question he’s a top 12 QB
You mean like J. Winston?Also you hear a lot about guys being "better for real life than fantasy" but Wentz is the rare example of someone who could be the opposite.
The Eagles are 5th in plays run this year, 1st last year, 8th the year before that. They may not always be effective, but Pederson has never let the grass grow under their feet. And with their weaknesses in the secondary it's not like a lot of teams will be trying to run the ball and grind clock against them, either.
If he can get to the point where he's even the 20th-best QB statistically, that could still make him close to a top-12 fantasy QB on volume alone.
I see him around QB12-15 for the 2nd half of the season. Still barely startable unless you're desperate.Wentz's metrics are terrible this year. Isn't throwing catchable balls, poor decision making... the WR injuries are masking some of the issues but before where all he needed was Ertz to make magic he doesn't have that ability anymore (and Ertz looks like he lost his smile). I think he'll improve especially once Goedert returns, but I'm not sure if it will be a big improvement. Certainly not a Top 15 guy unless he really cleans up his accuracy.
wrong.I think we have to start asking "Is Jalen Hurts a Top 15 QB w/the Eagles' weapons returning?"
Wentz may not get there to meet with his returning weapons.Guess you didn't read the "with his weapons returning" part.

FreeBaGeL said:The problem is that the line is in shambles too. It's pretty amazing what he's done with absolutely zero help around him.
I actually like Wentz quite a bit long term. I think he can have a Matt Ryan type career. But I don't think Philly's problems are fixable enough this year for him to be a fantasy difference maker in redraft.
Obviously just depends what you're looking for and who your other QB is. If you've got a top 5 QB, the answer is no.Saboo said:IDK, second week in a row with 3td’s and his weapons are on the way back. Gutsy win for the Eagles and Wentz
Wentz - 359 passing yards, 15 yards running yds, 3td’s, 1 int...Very solid numbers with the majority of his weapons still injured. I think he’s a pretty obvious buy low guy.
I'm loving him as my third QB in a 2QB league. Am playing match-ups so didn't play him tonight and will likely regret it.Obviously just depends what you're looking for and who your other QB is. If you've got a top 5 QB, the answer is no.
After this week, Carson is going to be a top 10 scoring fantasy QB in total points. He's a low end QB1.
Do you have 2 other top 10 QB's????I'm loving him as my third QB in a 2QB league. Am playing match-ups so didn't play him tonight and will likely regret it.
I have three borderline top 10 QBs IMO - Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, and Wentz (all TDs are 6 pts so I view them interchangeably and play match-ups)Do you have 2 other top 10 QB's????
I would have made the same decision this week on those 3. May not pan out but in a vacuum you made the right choice. Having said that... I didn’t start Matt Ryan last week so sometimes vacuums suck.I have three borderline top 10 QBs IMO - Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, and Wentz (all TDs are 6 pts so I view them interchangeably and play match-ups)
Ya Ben and Wentz were a coin flip this week per fbg rankings. I had the exact same decision in one league and literally flipped a coin and it landed on Carson so I lucked out.I have three borderline top 10 QBs IMO - Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, and Wentz (all TDs are 6 pts so I view them interchangeably and play match-ups)
Indeed, I started Ryan last week (good call), but also started him the prior week (bad call). It happens. Not gonna get 'em all right but if you have good choices and make sound decisions your team will be better off for it even if it means you have some additional remorse along the wayI would have made the same decision this week on those 3.

I’ve started Ryan every week since week 3. Lol. I’ve literally missed all his good weeks. But I own Julio and Ridley on the same team, so it all worked out. Starting him this week so I’m ready for a letdown.Indeed, I started Ryan last week (good call), but also started him the prior week (bad call). It happens.

12 QBs will finish the season with more points than Wentz
In one QB leagues, I’m not sure he is a bye-week filler.
Hard pass. He's closer to getting benched than breaking out.
Hell, in redraft I'm surprised he isn't on waivers.
Not with that offensive line.
Currently QB7 on the season.But I don't think Philly's problems are fixable enough this year for him to be a fantasy difference maker in redraft.
Out of curiosity, what is the league format? In my league, he's currently QB14 and that's with an extra game played over a few of the other guys who are close by. Actually never mind - I see yahoo hasn't' updated to account for this week yet. I'll have to look again tomorrow or later on.Currently QB7 on the season.
Seriously??? That seems unlikely.... are you not counting this week yet?Out of curiosity, what is the league format? In my league, he's currently QB14 and that's with an extra game played over a few of the other guys who are close by.
Yeah I edited my post. So I guess he was around QB14 (give or take depending on league settings) and jumped up 7 spots after this week.Seriously??? That seems unlikely.... are you not counting this week yet?
All my leagues he's sitting in 7th. Pretty standard scoring. Goff has an outside shot to catch him tonight but doubtful, and Foles won't, so he should still be in the QB7 spot after tonight.
Ya QB7 now. Of course not having a bye yet is a factor, but he is still QB11 in terms of Average Per Week, and he's climbing up quickly.Yeah I edited my post. So I guess he was around QB14 (give or take depending on league settings) and jumped up 7 spots after this week.
