Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Lamar Jackson

Tuesday, July 9, 4:08 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz signed with the organization this offseason after spending the last few months of the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Rams. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft is obviously behind Patrick Mahomes on the depth chart, but Wentz working with Andy Reid could be a great thing for his career. "It was good to get him in this position and if he has an opportunity to play, he has an opportunity to play, Reid said. "Carson looks sharp. He's picking things up fast, smart guy, and he fits in well. Seems like a heck of a person, and he's good in that [quarterback] room." While Mahomes has remained healthy for most of his career, Wentz could be a high-end backup quarterback to stash in deep Superflex and two-QB leagues. The Chiefs now have plenty of weapons, and if anyone can dial up a game plan that leads to solid production from Wentz, it's Reid.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been able to produce some big fantasy outputs against almost every defense he's gone up against. In fact, he's played the 32nd, 31st, and 27th-ranked defenses in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks with the Steelers allowing the fewest. The Philadelphia Eagles are ranked 30th while they give up just 14.3 fantasy points per game. Jackson does have history on his side though as he's 23-3 against the NFC dating back to his rookie year, and is 6-1 against the NFC East. The two-time MVP is still a must-start, especially at home, but it could be an uphill battle.
