2022 Fantasy Outlook
Credit the Colts for needing just one year to cut bait on Wentz — it took the Eagles five years,
after all. Wentz wasn’t necessarily awful for fantasy (QB13), but he was both inefficient (6.9
YPA, 22nd) and inconsistent. He often held the ball too long (136 pressures, 10th); other times
he rushed throws, missing easy completions (or what GM Chris Ballard referred to as “making
the layups”). On attempts of less than 10 yards, he ranked 26th in completion percentage (66.5)
and 28th in on-target percentage (75.9). With the playoffs in sight, losses in the final two games
were the final straw. Washington, though, was desperate enough to trade for Wentz in March.
He has a couple quality targets in Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel, and the team drafted WR
Jahan Dotson 16th overall as a deep threat. Washington also has a decent backfield with
Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Wentz will need to make a few more of those layups,
though, to increase his fantasy value beyond two-QB leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Released by Washington
The Commanders released Wentz on Monday.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Wentz has been let go to save over $26 million in cap space before his roster bonus triggered March 17. The veteran quarterback was traded to Washington ahead of the 2022 campaign, but after two solid outings to start the season, he completed just 60.8 percent of his passes over his next six appearances and threw six interceptions to just four touchdowns during that stretch. There's plenty of teams in need of a starting quarterback, but Wentz's recent track record may force him to settle for a backup gig in 2023. If he joins a new team this summer, it'll mark his fourth squad in as many years.

2016
It took all of three months last season for Wentz to go from franchise quarterback to outcast. While the Eagles didn't give him much help, he brought most of it upon himself. The same guy who completed nearly 70 percent of his passes in 2018 couldn't hit anything last season. His 28.4 bad-pass percentage was highest in the league, while his 57.4 completion percentage was second lowest, and his 6.0 YPA third lowest. Wentz really struggled under pressure, with a league-low 29.5 completion percentage. By halftime of Week 13, the Eagles had seen enough. Wentz was benched for rookie Jalen Hurts and never took another snap. Despite playing just 12 games, Wentz led the league in sacks (50), tied for the league lead in interceptions (15) and ranked third in fumbles (10). In February, he was traded to the Colts, reuniting with Frank Reich, the Eagles offensive coordinator in 2017-18. In Indianapolis, Wentz will be protected by a strong offensive line that allowed a QB pressure rate of only 15.5 percent last season, fourth lowest (Wentz's was 28.3 percent, fifth highest). T.Y. Hilton is still a downfield threat even if he's lost a step, and Michael Pittman, last year's 34th overall pick, is coming off an encouraging rookie season. Parris Campbell, a 2019 second-round pick, has plenty of upside if he finally stays healthy, and Zach Pascal has plenty of experience (31 NFL starts) in the No. 3 receiver role. Wentz also will have capable short-area receivers in Nyheim Hines, Jonathan Taylor and Jack Doyle. Unfortunately for Wentz, it was announced in early August that he'd need surgery for a foot injury. He's facing a broad timeline (5-to-12 weeks) for a return to action, with most reports putting him at the front end after he returned to practice late in August.
