Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Justin Fields

Thursday, November 9, 12:16 PM

The Los Angeles Rams officially agreed to terms with quarterback Carson Wentz on Wednesday and added him to their active roster. In a corresponding move, the team waived QB Brett Rypien. The 30-year-old Wentz most recently went 172-for-276 for 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions in nine games (eight starts) for the Washington Commanders in 2022. He started all 17 regular season games for the Indianapolis Colts the year prior, throwing for 3,563 yards with 27 TDs and seven interceptions. The former No. 2 overall pick in 2016 by the Philadelphia Eagles out of North Dakota State is expected to serve as the backup to Matthew Stafford (thumb), although Stafford may not necessarily be ready to go coming out of the team's Week 10 bye.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields finished 27-of-37 for 217 passing yards along with 12 rushes for 59 yards in the team's 12-10 win over the Vikings in Week 12. The Ohio State alum was unable to lead the team on any touchdown drives and lost two fumbles, which hurt his overall fantasy output. He ended with just over 10 fantasy points, which is his lowest mark all season in a full game. The 24-year-old has now scored just one touchdown in the last two games after scoring eight touchdowns in his two healthy games prior in Weeks 4 and 5. The Bears are off in Week 13 and will take on the Lions again in Week 14, who allow the 6th-most points per game to quarterbacks this season. Thanks to his rushing upside, Fields remains a low-end QB1 option for the rest of the year.
