Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Gardner Minshew

Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy (ankle) and Carson Wentz (shoulder) are a bit banged up heading into the Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. McCarthy was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. He's working his way back from a high ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 2. This is a step in the right direction for McCarthy, but the 22-year-old still isn't 100 percent healthy. As for Wentz, he was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He injured his shoulder during the Week 5 win over the Cleveland Browns. It seems likely that Wentz will be under center for this Sunday's game.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine passes (78%) for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 16-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Minshew found Robert Tonyan in the back of the endzone on a rollout for an easy score. It was a nice sign to see for Chiefs fans, knowing they have a capable backup behind Patrick Mahomes. That said, Minshew will not have any fantasy value this season unless Mahomes gets injured.
