Carson Wentz Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz could be working with a new backup soon. Wentz has sat out the preseason so far but has seen Nate Sudfeld (wrist) and Cody Kessler (concussion) get hurt under center. Rookie Clayton Thorson is the only one left on the depth chart, and since the Eagles certainly don't want their starter or their rookie playing an entire game in the preseason, we could see a new face on the Eagles sideline soon. Meanwhile, Wentz will continue to practice with the team but is unlikely to see much if any of the field before Week 1.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will be able to practice with no restrictions during the team's training camp activities. Coach Doug Pederson said the Eagles are "not gonna hold back" with their star quarterback. While the team will monitor how many passes he throws, they will not put a cap on the number of throws he can make. In other words, Wentz won't be on any kind of "pitch count" throughout training camp. He participated fully in OTAs in May, so everything is certainly pointing up for the potential superstar. He's a solid QB1 as long as he's healthy.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz and wide receiver DeSean Jackson have had a great connection and good timing throughout the offseason program. Head coach Doug Pederson said that Jackson spent the entire offseason in Philadelphia working with Wentz, and their chemistry is showing through. Jackson, 32, was a bust in his final year in Tampa with 41 catches for 774 yards and four touchdowns, but he's still very fast and averaged 18.9 yards per catch. He's boom or bust as a deep threat, but D-Jax will still have appeal in standard-scoring leagues in a very potent offense. However, his per-game catches will likely fluctuate with tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert and receivers Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor gobbling up targets.
