2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wentz joined the Vikings in August to be the team's obvious No. 2 QB. The move gives the franchise a veteran backup with plenty of prior success and a mentor for 2024 first-rounder J.J. McCarthy, who hasn't yet played in his first NFL regular-season game. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Candidate for Week 3 start
Wentz could start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Bengals with the status of J.J. McCarthy (ankle) uncertain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell hasn't yet ruled out McCarthy for Week 3, but he said Monday that the second-year quarterback's status for the matchup with Cincinnati is unclear due to a high-ankle sprain, leaving Wentz in a position to step in under center. With Joe Burrow (toe) in line for an extended absence of his own, the Week 3 matchup could feature a battle of backup quarterbacks, with Wentz potentially facing off against the Bengals' Jake Browning. Meanwhile, Jordan Addison will finish out his three-game suspension this Sunday, and Aaron Jones (hamstring) appears unlikely to play against Cincinnati, leaving wideouts Justin Jefferson, Jalen Nailor and Adam Thielen, running back Jordan Mason and tight end T.J. Hockenson as the top skill-position weapons available for Week 3.

Wentz signed a one-year contract in April to back up Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. Last season, he was sitting on his couch when he got the call in November to back up Matthew Stafford in L.A. Wentz started Week 18, throwing two TD passes and running for another score. Now on his fifth team in five seasons, Wentz might benefit from the short passing game Mahomes ran last season. Wentz’s YPA hasn’t topped 7.0 since 2018 and in his last full season as a starter, 2021 with the Colts, his average target depth was a middling 7.6. But he threw 27 TD passes that season, showing he’s not completely washed. His rushing ability adds fantasy upside, which should make him a decent option in two-QB leagues should disaster strike in Kansas City.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get multiple starts
Wentz is expected to start for the Vikings in Week 3 while J.J. McCarthy recovers from a high-ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
McCarthy suffered the injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Falcons, and while he was able to finish the contest, he's been labeled as week-to-week, indicating there's a good chance Wentz will need to make multiple starts. Minnesota is set to face Cincinnati in Week 3, who will be using a backup QB as well in Jake Browning, before heading to Europe for games in Dublin and London in Weeks 4 and 5.
