Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Carson Wentz

Friday, October 17, 12:39 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of his 34 pass attempts for 249 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions during Thursday's Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for six yards and didn't take a sack. The four touchdowns worked wonders as Rodgers attempted to mount a late comeback on national television, but you could also argue that his two interceptions were the difference between a win and a loss in Cincinnati. One of the two turnovers wasn't exactly Rodgers' fault as his sideline pass was ripped out of DK Metcalf's hands, but the other came on an overthrown pass that the veteran quarterback would have loved to get back. With that being said, fantasy managers won't gripe too much about the two turnovers, as his four touchdowns were more than enough to boost his point total. He's a solid mid-range QB2 heading into Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz has been named the starter for the Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This marks the fourth straight start for Wentz while J.J. McCarthy (ankle) recovers. According to Ian Rapoport, Wentz could be under center for Week 8 as well. It doesn't sound like the Vikings are fully committed to McCarthy once he's healthy. Wentz has been a viable option with 759 passing yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in place of McCarthy. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a revenge game against the Eagles in Week 7. He should be able to offer streaming appeal against the Eagles shaky secondary.
