Carson Wentz Set Up for Success in Minnesota?

Tuesday, September 16, 11:17 AM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz appears to have a multi-game runway as the team's starter, with Minnesota QB1 J.J. McCarthy (ankle) set to miss two to four weeks with a high ankle sprain. The 33-year-old Wentz has started two games over the past two seasons while playing for the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs. In his last real stretch as a starter, he played in eight games for the Washington Commanders in 2022, throwing for 1,755 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has had success with quarterback reclamation projects before, so Wentz could be in a good position to succeed in Minnesota. He could be a sneaky add in two-quarterback formats ahead of the Vikings' Week 3 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Kyler Murray Holds QB1 Value Again in Week 2

Saturday, September 13, 9:29 AM

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finished just outside of QB1 territory in Week 1 after throwing two touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints. His accuracy looked good most of the time, but the passing attack didn't gain many yards (163), and he was sacked five times. Fortunately, for Murray and company, the Carolina Panthers gave up 378 total yards and didn't register a single sack against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. With the Panthers' run defense especially looking horrendous, Murray gains even more value given the report that the team has tried to scheme more scrambling opportunities. Fantasy managers can look to Murray as a QB1 heading into Week 2, hoping that he gains even more chemistry with Marvin Harrison Jr.
