Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz signed with the organization this offseason after spending the last few months of the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Rams. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft is obviously behind Patrick Mahomes on the depth chart, but Wentz working with Andy Reid could be a great thing for his career. "It was good to get him in this position and if he has an opportunity to play, he has an opportunity to play, Reid said. "Carson looks sharp. He's picking things up fast, smart guy, and he fits in well. Seems like a heck of a person, and he's good in that [quarterback] room." While Mahomes has remained healthy for most of his career, Wentz could be a high-end backup quarterback to stash in deep Superflex and two-QB leagues. The Chiefs now have plenty of weapons, and if anyone can dial up a game plan that leads to solid production from Wentz, it's Reid.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led his team to a 30-24 win at home over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The third-year pro went 19-for-26 for 260 yards and a touchdown through the air while adding eight carries for 56 yards and a touchdown sneak on the ground. Purdy avoided the type of gaffe that plagued him in a three-interception Week 7 loss to Kansas City, appearing cool and collected en route to an important win. It's a welcome sight for fantasy managers that Purdy continues to produce with San Francisco's offensive skill position players decimated with injury, but three of his last four touchdowns have come via quarterback sneak, which isn't really a bankable part of Purdy's game. The recent increase in rushing yardage, however, may persist as San Francisco has trusted Purdy with an increase in slow-developing routes down the field, and Purdy has responded with an adept ability to take the escape lanes he's given. Purdy and the 49ers have a Week 9 bye before a trip to Tampa Bay in Week 10.
