PodcastWeek 2 Waiver Wire: Must-Add PlayersSeptember 15, 2026

From the episode

I think the odds of Carson Wentz doing a pretty catastrophic turnover are kind of high. So I kind of don't hate the Bears defense, actually. Even if they give up 40 points, you might end up with like pretty good score.

Negative signalMatchup

Wentz faces Bears defense Week 3; high turnover risk supports Bears D waiver add.

The source identifies Carson Wentz as a turnover-prone backup quarterback facing the Bears defense in Week 3, noting high odds of 'catastrophic turnovers' and pick-six or fumble-six opportunities, making the Bears defense a worthwhile waiver add despite giving up 37 points to Carolina in Week 2.
