The Minnesota Vikings (3-2) will host the Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Carson Wentz.
Is Carson Wentz Playing in Week 7?
Wentz is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Vikings’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Carson Wentz in Week 7?
Carson Wentz had multiple touchdown passes in two of three starts, but he also threw a pair of picks and was sacked 12 times.
We were under no illusion that he was going to win this job from a potential franchise quarterback in J.J. McCarthy, but we were cautiously optimistic that Kevin O’Connell could spin some magic and make him a viable option in the right spot should McCarthy struggle to get back on the field.
No dice.
I expect the kid back under center this week following the bye, but it doesn’t really matter for this conversation. Wentz can get Justin Jefferson the ball, and that’s great, but he’s not the type of QB I’m trusting with my fantasy fate, even if he were to sit atop this depth chart at another point in time this season.
