Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Carson Wentz

Friday, November 7, 10:55 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been steady this season, ranking fourth among all signal-callers in passing touchdowns heading into a Week 10 away matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers surrender the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and could pose Rodgers' toughest challenge yet. On the other side, however, Pittsburgh's defense has been inconsistent, allowing over 30 points in half of its games. If Los Angeles can keep rolling offensively, Rodgers should see enough passing volume to deliver for fantasy purposes. He's not the safest streaming option this week, but he can be started in a pinch and viewed as a low-end QB2 on Sunday night.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder and will be placed on Injured Reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. To fill Wentz's spot on the active 53-man roster, the Vikings claimed tight end Ben Sims on waivers from the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The 32-year-old Wentz started the team's last five games with J.J. McCarthy working his way back from a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Wentz was in undeniable pain every time he was hit last Thursday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and now he won't play again this year. There were questions as to whether McCarthy would be ready to play in Week 9 against the division-rival Detroit Lions, but now that Wentz is out, the Vikes will be left with Max Brosmer if McCarthy isn't cleared to start this Sunday. Wentz finishes his 10th year in the NFL with 1,216 passing yards, six touchdowns, and five interceptions in his five starts.
