Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Jordan Love

Monday, October 27, 5:37 PM

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.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. He exited in the second quarter after taking a head-to-head from Bears defensive end Austin Booker, who was penalized. Love finishes the game having completed eight of his 13 pass attempts for 77 yards through the air, no touchdowns, and no turnovers. He also had seven rushing yards. Malik Willis has entered at quarterback and will lead the Packers the rest of the way. Willis, a former third-round pick, is capable of keeping the Packers in the playoff hunt while offering mid-range QB2 appeal in fantasy football. He has a chance to start in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens if Love doesn't clear concussion protocol in time. As far as the rest of the quarterback depth chart goes, head coach Mike LaFleur told the FOX broadcast that running back Josh Jacobs, who was on crutches five days ago and didn't practice this past week, would be the emergency quarterback if Willis gets injured.
