Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Daniel Jones

Tuesday, September 16, 11:17 AM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz appears to have a multi-game runway as the team's starter, with Minnesota QB1 J.J. McCarthy (ankle) set to miss two to four weeks with a high ankle sprain. The 33-year-old Wentz has started two games over the past two seasons while playing for the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs. In his last real stretch as a starter, he played in eight games for the Washington Commanders in 2022, throwing for 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has had success with quarterback reclamation projects before, so Wentz could be in a good position to succeed in Minnesota. He could be a sneaky add in two-quarterback formats ahead of the Vikings' Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is off to a resurgent start in 2025. The former Giants quarterback has completed 45 of 63 passes for 588 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers through two games. He's also been a weapon on the ground, punching in three rushing scores, all by the patented "Dimes Dive" at the goal line. Jones currently sits as the QB2 overall in fantasy, while the Colts have jumped out to a 2-0 start after edging the Denver Broncos in a thriller. Surrounded by a strong supporting cast that includes Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and rookie tight end Tyler Warren, Jones has legitimate QB1 upside moving forward, especially if Indianapolis continues to feature him on designed runs near the end zone.
