The Minnesota Vikings plan to give Carson Wentz at least one more start Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but managers should not risk starting Wentz, even in two-quarterback formats. With starter J.J. McCarthy (ankle) questionable and not yet ready to return from injury, the veteran will face the team with which he had his greatest success in the NFL. The Vikings have struggled often on offense this season, ranking 32nd in passing attempts, 29th in passing yards, and 31st in sack percentage allowed, numbers surely influenced by the team's injury struggles on the offensive line. Wentz was not listed on the final injury report himself, but did hurt his non-throwing shoulder in Week 5 and briefly left the game. Though the Eagles are only middle of the pack against fantasy quarterbacks, managers should look for a stronger matchup elsewhere.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday on a two-year, $6.5 million deal with $3 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Mullens will be the new backup to Trevor Lawrence in head coach Liam Coen's first year in Duvall. The 29-year-old Mullens will reunite with new Jaguars assistant coach Grant Udinski after the two worked together with the Minnesota Vikings. Mullens spent the last three years in Minnesota, appearing in 13 games (three starts) while throwing for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions. He only appeared in four games in relief last year with Sam Darnold having a career year. Mullens will provide veteran backup depth behind Lawrence, though, having appeared in 33 games (20 starts) in his seven years in the NFL with Minnesota, San Francisco and Cleveland.
