Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Coming off of a week of rest and preparation, Wentz and the Eagles will get roll into Detroit to face a Lions team that just fell on its face against divisional rival Chicago. Brian Hoyer just totaled 302 passing yards and two TDs against Detroit, so we like Wentz’s chances of a strong game in Week 5. He’ll look to keep his permanent record clean, as he hasn’t turned the ball over yet across his first 102 passing attempts in the NFL. This is a man playing well beyond his experience to date, who seems to be gelling with the weapons in his arsenal to create a fluid offensive identity in 2016. His 8.03 adjusted net yards per passing attempt is also fourth-best in the NFL thus far, in case you enjoy those kind of stats. He then gets a nice matchup against Washington’s defense in Week 6 before a rough Week 7 date with the Vikings. Worry about that later though, as you should feel confident firing up the rookie in the present.
