Carson Wentz will draw the start for Minnesota this week as Kyler Murray isn't ready to go yet after sustaining a concussion in Week 1. Last week, Wentz finished as the QB12 for fantasy, but it wasn't all sunshine and roses for Wentz. On a per-dropback basis, he struggled with accuracy...

Wentz's QB12 finish masked accuracy issues, but Chicago's weak defense offers upside.

Wentz finished as QB12 in Week 1 while filling in for injured Kyler Murray. Despite the respectable fantasy finish, his underlying metrics were concerning: he ranked 19th in yards per attempt and passing success rate among 32 qualified quarterbacks, with the seventh-highest off-target rate and eighth-lowest catchable target rate. However, the source projects another strong stat line this week against Chicago's struggling pass defense, which allowed the fourth-most yards per attempt, ninth-highest passing success rate and passer rating, and eighth-most EPA per dropback in Week 1.
