BALLER MOVE: Target ~135
CURRENT ADP: ~150
ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz had an impressive rookie campaign despite tailing off near the end of 2016, completing 62 percent of his passes for 3,782 yards and 16 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. I had originally been a doubter when it comes to the chances of Wentz being fantasy relevant in year two, but my position has changed quite a bit as of late.
With Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith coming to Philadelphia to join forces with standout tight end Zach Ertz, Wentz’ weaponry just got a tremendous upgrade. We saw him have plenty of great moments as a rookie, but now with Wentz having a myriad of offensive weapons, a top-5 offensive line, and a coaching staff that knows how to maximize his ability, I can see great things for him in 2017.
I won’t say that Wentz is going to finish this upcoming fantasy season with QB1 numbers, but I do expect him to take a step forward in terms of consistency and value.
