Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or John Wolford

Monday, December 16, 4:33 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz completed both of his pass attempts for 20 yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. Patrick Mahomes exited the game with an ankle injury, and Wentz filled in. The 31-year-old also rushed three times for zero yards. Mahomes is considered week-to-week with his injury, putting his Week 16 game status in question. If Mahomes cannot suit up, Wentz will be charged with leading the Kansas City offense against the Houston Texans. The Texans rank 18th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, making them a middle-of-the-pack matchup for the veteran quarterback. Wentz should be a serviceable fill-in for the Chiefs but should not be considered a viable starter for the fantasy playoffs.

Free-agent quarterback John Wolford is signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 29-year-old is being picked up following the head injury suffered by franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans. Wolford has played in seven NFL games (all for the Rams), completing 58.7% of his passes for 626 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions. Mac Jones will likely start as long as Lawrence is out of action, and veteran C.J. Beathard is in the No. 2 QB role. It would be a surprise if Wolford sees any game action this season, but you never know. For now, this move can be ignored for fantasy football.
