Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Jordan Whittington

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz has been named the starter for the Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This marks the fourth straight start for Wentz while J.J. McCarthy (ankle) recovers. According to Ian Rapoport, Wentz could be under center for Week 8 as well. It doesn't sound like the Vikings are fully committed to McCarthy once he's healthy. Wentz has been a viable option with 759 passing yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in place of McCarthy. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a revenge game against the Eagles in Week 7. He should be able to offer streaming appeal against the Eagles shaky secondary.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington will move up the depth chart for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams will be without top wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) for this game. That means, Whittington could move into the No. 2 role behind Davante Adams for this game. The 25-year-old has been quiet, but saw a season-high four targets and played 92 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's game. The expectation is that Whittington will be more involved with Nacua unable to play. There should be flex value here against a shaky Jaguars secondary this weekend.
