Who Should I Start? Carson Wentz or Tanner McKee

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.

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) was not spotted at practice on Sunday, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP. McKee fractured his thumb earlier this month and has not practiced in roughly two weeks. The 25-year-old was solid while filling in last year, as he completed 30 of his 45 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With Thursday's regular-season opener fast approaching, it appears unlikely that McKee will be healthy enough to suit up. If he's inactive, Sam Howell would operate as the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.
