Fantasy buzz: Vikings to start Wentz, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't

Fantasy buzz: Vikings to start Wentz, but fantasy managers probably shouldn't

The Minnesota Vikings are set to start Carson Wentz for their upcoming Monday Night Football game, as Kyler Murray has been deemed week-to-week due to a hamstring injury. This decision may not solely stem from Murray's injury, as there are questions regarding his performance as well. Wentz's potential starting role could influence the fantasy value of the Vikings' receiving corps, particularly Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, who may see an increase in targets.

While Wentz's previous performances have shown inconsistency, he did score well in a relief appearance earlier this season. However, he struggled in a subsequent start, which raises concerns about his effectiveness against the Buffalo Bills, who have been a challenging matchup for quarterbacks recently. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor the situation closely before making lineup decisions, especially since the game takes place on a Monday night, complicating last-minute changes.
