Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Nick Mullens

Friday, September 26, 5:04 PM

Coming off a successful Minnesota Vikings debut, quarterback Carson Wentz has some low-end QB2 potential as Minnesota prepares to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. Wentz delivered a solid blueprint in his first game, leaning on the Vikings' running game and being efficient through the air, completing 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns. The Steelers have been among the league's worst defenses against fantasy quarterbacks, ranking 25th in passing yards allowed, 31st in missed tackles, and 29th in air yards allowed. Turnovers often have been the issue for Wentz during his career, but if can replicate his most recent game, he can be an acceptable fill-in for managers in a bind this week.

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.
