Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Mike White

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz completed 10 of 17 pass attempts (59%) for 98 yards in the 38-0 loss to the Denver Broncos. Wentz was tasked with leading the Kansas City offense without Patrick Mahomes but could not find the endzone. The Chiefs only had 33 total plays in Week 18, compared to 72 for the Broncos. The veteran quarterback managed to stay turnover-free in this contest, but that's the only positive to take from this game. With Mahomes resting multiple weeks between games, Wentz will likely not be asked to start more games. The Chiefs will play the winner of the wildcard matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans. Wentz will likely find himself back on the bench when the next Chiefs game takes place.

The Buffalo Bills signed quarterback Mike White to a one-year contract extension on Friday that runs through the 2025 season, according to a source. With the Bills planning to sit quarterback Josh Allen after a brief appearance in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday, the Bills have elevated White from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster. Backup Mitchell Trubisky is expected to see most of the playing time in a meaningless regular-season finale for Buffalo with the team already locked into the No. 2 seed in the AFC for the postseason. The 29-year-old White could also see some run late in Sunday's game, though. White had a nice little run for the New York Jets in four starts in 2022, but he's attempted just six passes since the start of the 2023 season.
