Who Should I Start? Matt Barkley or Carson Wentz

Wednesday, November 8, 12:17 PM

The New York Giants signed quarterback Matt Barkley from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster on Wednesday. Daniel Jones (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the team also placed veteran Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on Injured Reserve last weekend. Taylor will miss at least the next three games, but there's a chance he may not play again this year. The G-Men are moving forward with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito under center for the time being, but the 33-year-old Barkley could eventually be making starts for the Giants before the season is over. It's a dire QB situation for New York to be in, and it will be a major downgrade for all of their offensive weapons in fantasy, mainly running back Saquon Barkley.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz (left shoulder) "could be limited in practice this week," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Vikings are currently on their bye week but will return to practice within the next few days ahead of their Week 7 clash against the Philadelphia Eagles. Minnesota has several quarterback injuries to monitor, as J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has been sidelined for three games, and now Wentz, his backup, could be at risk of missing time. The exact timetables for both McCarthy and Wentz are unclear, but the team's Wednesday injury reports should provide more clarity on their respective statuses. There's a small but nonzero chance that both McCarthy and Wentz miss Week 7, which would leave Max Brosmer in line to start at quarterback.
