Carson Wentz News
Washington Commanders new quarterback Carson Wentz has fit right in with the offense during offseason workouts. "I think probably the biggest thing in terms of watching Carson is how he got acclimated to us," head coach Ron Rivera said. Wentz hasn't been perfect this offseason, but his skill set is allowing the team do things that they couldn't last year. He has been pushing the ball downfield and giving his receivers chances to make plays while also establishing rapport with teammates. The Commanders have been impressed with how fast he's learned the playbook as well. Take it with a grain of salt during non-padded practices, but the 29-year-old will have some weapons to work with in D.C. But after his epic collapse in Indy last year, fantasy managers should be treating him as a low-end QB2 until he proves otherwise.
Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz has made it clear in offseason practices that he loves targeting rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson. Dotson is consistently getting open for his quarterback during organized team activities and is developing some nice chemistry with Wentz early on. Fantasy managers should take this with a grain of salt, as teams aren't even in pads yet, but it's something to take note of as we get closer to training camp. The 22-year-old first-rounder should have a decent-sized role behind No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin in his rookie season for the Commanders. McLaurin hasn't been taking part in offseason workouts either, so it has given Dotson more opportunities to build chemistry with Wentz.
New Washington Commanders starting quarterback Carson Wentz took his first practice reps with the team during its first on-field workouts on Tuesday. He connected with the overall No. 16 pick in the draft, wide receiver Jahan Dotson, as well as second-year wide receiver Dyami Brown, for solid gains. Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen offered his praise regarding the impact Wentz is making right from the start. "He's everything you want from your starting quarterback," Allen said. "He's a leader. He talks to every guy on the team, not just the receivers or the running backs or the offensive line. He talks to the defensive guys, and he wants to be here, and he wants to win. Really not much more I could ask from him." Ben Standig of The Athletic reported how Wentz immediately stood out relative to last year's starter, Taylor Heinicke, due to his size and arm strength, while hinting that his velocity on both deep routes and underneath throws should expand the offensive playbook.

The Carson Wentz era in Philadelphia started with so much promise. After a lackluster rookie campaign, Wentz had his magical 2017 season where he was the pro bowl quarterback everyone envisioned (league-leading 78.5 QBR). Then, he suffered a brutal...
