Carson Wentz News
Sunday, September 13, 5:24 PM
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz performed admirably in relief on Sunday, throwing three touchdown passes as the Vikings scored 29 straight points to rally past Green Bay, 39-22. The journeyman played most of the game after the Packers knocked out starter Kyler Murray (head) with an illegal hit in the first quarter. Despite some early misfires, Wentz finished 12-for-19 for 133 yards without a turnover. Even better for fantasy managers, Wentz got the ball to superstar receiver Justin Jefferson. The pair connected six times for 81 yards and two scores, including a game-clinching touchdown deep in the fourth quarter. It remains to be seen if Murray will have a chance to play Week 2, so Wentz could be a priority waiver addition in deeper leagues as the Vikings prepare to play Chicago.

Justin Herbert News
Sunday, September 13, 7:33 PM
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his team's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Herbert also had five carries for 29 rushing yards. The 28-year-old disappointed in the season opener, producing under 15 fantasy points, and will likely finish outside the top 20 scoring quarterbacks in Week 1. Herbert and the Chargers cut the lead to two late in the third quarter after finding Ladd McConkey on an eight-yard touchdown. However, the game spiraled for the Chargers after a punt was blocked and Herbert threw an interception late. Herbert will hope to bounce back at home in a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
