Carson Wentz has officially been cleared to play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Wentz was taken off the COVID list yesterday but needed to pass a symptom check today which he did, meaning he is cleared to play. Wentz will start at quarterback for the Colts which will benefit all Indianapolis pass-catchers.

Carson Wentz has been activated from the COVID list ahead of the Colts matchup Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. This move was necessary for Wentz to potentially be able to play tomorrow, he will still need to be cleared by the doctors in the morning before he is officially eligible to play. As of now, the belief is that Wentz will clear this final hurdle and start but as we saw with Travis Kelce this is not necessarily a guarantee. In the case that Wentz is unable to play, Sam Ehlinger would draw the start for the Colts. All pass-catchers would see a slight downgrade in expected production and it would be likely for Indianapolis to ride Jonathan Taylor even more than they normally do. It will be important to monitor this situation, though we should officially know Wentz's status before inactives are released 90 minutes prior to kickoff Sunday.

Carson Wentz has been placed on the COVID list ahead of the Colts matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. Due to Wentz's believed vaccination status, if he tested positive he will have no chance of playing Sunday in a crucial matchup with playoff ramifications. In his absence, Sam Ehlinger will likely draw the start at quarterback though Brett Hundley could also be considered as he is a member of the practice squad. All Indianapolis pass-catchers should take a hit to their expected production, and it is likely that the Colts try to ride Jonathan Taylor as much as they can.

Taylor and Wentz were both listed as questionable against the Miami Dolphins, but both are fully expected to play. Both players were able to get in a limited practice every day this week, and it seems that their status should be safe. The Colts did lose Quinton Nelson to injury, and are in one of the worst DFS environments against Miami. Taylor's price has dropped since week 1, but Nyheim Hines stealing snaps makes him tough to trust.
