Carson Wentz Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz said he is not concerned with the team drafting Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts. Wetz is under contract through 2024, so the team using a second-round pick on a high-profile QB was one of the more interesting picks of the draft. Wentz played 16 games last year, but has dealt with the injury-prone label in his career as he's played just two series in the Eagles last three playoff games, including leaving last year's Wild Card Round matchup early in the game. As talented as Hurts is, Wentz is clearly the starter in Philadelphia. He threw 27 touchdowns to just seven interceptions last season and has an interception-rate under two percent three straight years. He can be drafted as a low-end QB1 in 2020 fantasy drafts.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz confirmed he had a concussion last season which knocked him out of the Eagles' playoff loss to Seattle. Wentz said he was dealing with symptoms and will do what he can to protect his head the best he can moving forward. This would help explain the Eagles drafting Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts in the second round, despite Wentz being under contract through 2024. Hurts should provide solid insurance should something happen to Wentz, but Wentz is still the starter and could be drafted as a low-end QB1 in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman gave quarterback Carson Wentz quite a vote of confidence on Thursday, stating "We are married to Carson Wentz. Coach Pederson & I, (team owner) Mr. Lurie & I we are all married to Carson. Weve shown it with our actions." That all came into question a bit last week when the Eagles drafted former Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts in the second round of the NFL Draft. Rumors have been swirling about the Eagles potentially using Hurts in a hybrid role perhaps somewhat like the Saints use Taysom Hill, but in reality it seems more like the team knew they needed a strong backup for Wentz due to his injury history, and Nate Sudfeld and Kyle Lauletta just wouldn't cut it for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Time will tell if Hurts will actually see the field if Wentz remains healthy, but for now it seems like Carson Wentz remains the starting quarterback for the Eagles without any immediate competition.
