Carson Wentz's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz completed both of his pass attempts for 20 yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. Patrick Mahomes exited the game with an ankle injury, and Wentz filled in. The 31-year-old also rushed three times for zero yards. Mahomes is considered week-to-week with his injury, putting his Week 16 game status in question. If Mahomes cannot suit up, Wentz will be charged with leading the Kansas City offense against the Houston Texans. The Texans rank 18th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, making them a middle-of-the-pack matchup for the veteran quarterback. Wentz should be a serviceable fill-in for the Chiefs but should not be considered a viable starter for the fantasy playoffs.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns and is officially questionable to return. The superstar quarterback suffered the injury while being sacked. The Chiefs punted away to the Browns, and on their next drive, Carson Wentz replaced Mahomes under center. At the time of his departure, Mahomes had completed just 19 of 38 pass attempts (50 percent) for 159 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 14 yards. Managers should stay tuned for updates on Mahomes' status as the fantasy playoffs continue.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz signed with the organization this offseason after spending the last few months of the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Rams. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft is obviously behind Patrick Mahomes on the depth chart, but Wentz working with Andy Reid could be a great thing for his career. "It was good to get him in this position and if he has an opportunity to play, he has an opportunity to play, Reid said. "Carson looks sharp. He's picking things up fast, smart guy, and he fits in well. Seems like a heck of a person, and he's good in that [quarterback] room." While Mahomes has remained healthy for most of his career, Wentz could be a high-end backup quarterback to stash in deep Superflex and two-QB leagues. The Chiefs now have plenty of weapons, and if anyone can dial up a game plan that leads to solid production from Wentz, it's Reid.

Free-agent quarterback Carson Wentz signed an undisclosed deal one-year with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, according to sources. Wentz, the former second overall pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016 out of North Dakota State will head to the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs after spending the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Rams, where he played in two games (one start) while going 17-for-24 for 163 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The 31-year-old figures to be Patrick Mahomes' primary backup heading into training camp this summer, with Chris Oladokun and Ian Book also in KC's QB room. Wentz made his lone Pro Bowl in 2017 and was looking like Philly's QB of the future until injuries flipped the script. He never was able to recover after Nick Foles and the Eagles won a Super Bowl without him.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Carson Wentz got the start and produced in the team's 21-20 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Wentz completed 17 of his 24 pass attempts for 163 yards and two touchdowns through the air. He also rushed the ball an alarming 17 times for 56 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The veteran QB started in place of Matthew Stafford as a result of the team clinching a playoff berth. While Wentz will not get on the field unless Stafford suffers an injury in their playoff matchup with the Detroit Lions, he proved that he can still perform at a moderately high level.
