Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Josh Allen

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.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that quarterback Josh Allen (foot) will be a full-go at Wednesday's practice, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Allen took the first snap of the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Jets to extend his streak of consecutive starts to 127 regular-season games, and then the Bills pulled him from the game on Sunday. The 29-year-old dealt with a nagging foot injury late in the year, but it's nothing serious and won't keep him from playing in Sunday's Wild-Card playoff game on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Allen finished the regular season as the top overall fantasy QB with 3,668 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 games. He added a league-high 579 rushing yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns on the ground to separate himself at the position. Allen has the most fantasy upside at QB for the Wild-Card round.
