Quarterback: (Carson Wentz)

Carson Wentz (2018 Stats: 21 TD/7 INT, 3,074 Pass Yds)

The book on Carson Wentz has already been written in the minds of most Fantasy owners. If he’s healthy, he’s a player with the potential to explode for 20+ point outings on a weekly basis.

All reports heading into the 2019 campaign have pointed to Wentz being 100 percent healthy, and the Eagles have exercised proper precautions to keep him that way (Wentz will not play a snap in the pre-season).

Wentz’s injury history has put him in a position where he can potentially be a steal in most fantasy drafts (he’s currently being drafted at the start of the seventh round). The Eagles have done everything in their power to surround Wentz with as many high-powered offensive weapons as possible, and the result should be a dramatic return to form.

He may not utilize the same dual-threat rushing capability that he did in 2017, but he will be in the driver’s seat of one of the most dynamic offenses in the league this season. If Wentz is able to play a full sixteen games, he will make a strong case to finish as a top-five quarterback by season’s end.

2019 Projected Totals: (36 TDs/10 INT, 4,400 Pass Yds)
