Week 8

Quarterbacks

Carson Wentz

On a 9-game slate that does not feature some of the marquee teams for fantasy, almost every player that we are going to analyze, or draft for our teams, is going to have some serious warts. That does not specifically apply to Carson Wentz, but I just want to forecast how the rest of this article may go; this is the toughest week we have had yet in terms of generating optimal roster construction and the shorter slate has caused some higher prices on generally mid-tier players. All of that being said: Carson Wentz is still a fantastic play against San Francisco for several reasons. The first and most important, is that he is the NFL’s QB leader in Air Yards which really demonstrates his willingness to take shots and his ability to rack up fantasy points on a lower amount of attempts.
