ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz has struggled of late, but given the Eagles’ soft upcoming schedule, it looks as though those struggles could come to an end. He faced tough defenses in Weeks 6, 7 and 8 (Washington, Minnesota and Dallas) but will take on the Giants’ vulnerable secondary in Week 9. Since Week 2, the Giants have allowed at least 262 yards in each game. In fact, the G-Men allowed 307 and 291 yards to Joe Flacco and Case Keenum, respectively, in their last two games. They may have tried to use the bye week to shore things up, but that doesn’t change the overall lack of talent the team is trotting out in the secondary. We’ve already seen that Wentz can put up some numbers when given the opportunity, and there is little doubt he will have the opportunity this Sunday. In two-quarterback leagues, you could do a lot worse than taking a shot on Wentz in Week 9.
