BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues
ANALYSIS:
I’ve highlighted Carson Wentz in this space numerous times this season, yet he remains on 40% of waiver wires in fantasy leagues. The Colts’ quarterback has looked like a completely different player in Indianapolis than he did during his last season in Philadelphia, completing 63% of his passes for 2,198 yards and 17 touchdowns with three interceptions in nine games this season. Wentz has six straight games with at least two touchdowns and 17 fantasy points scored. He’s thrown an interception in only two games this season (although he does have four games with a fumble and three games with a fumble lost). Wentz is a high-end QB2 in fantasy this season with QB1 upside thanks to passing volume.
Wentz gets to face a questionable Jaguars secondary coming off a massive win against the Buffalo Bills. He follows that up with a terrible matchup in Week 11 against the stingy Buffalo secondary before having strong matchups against the Buccaneers and Texans heading into his bye week. Wentz should be rostered in all formats and is a worthy streamer in three of the next four games.
