START ‘EM – QB

54. . Quarterback. Eagles. Carson Wentz. 1. player

After slowly getting eased back into the Eagles offense, Carson Wentz looks to be the same Carson Wentz we got to watch in 2017. He’s been electric in his last three games and should have a nice go of it in week seven as the Carolina Panthers come to town.

The Panthers are a much better team on their home turf, especially when it comes to defense and that, of course, bodes well for Wentz. The second overall pick in 2016 has scored 20+ points during his hot streak, so why buck the trend and bench him?

Per Fantasy Pros,

"Wentz has tossed eight touchdowns in four games since returning from a torn ACL. He has actually performed better than last season in terms in completion percentage (68.4), yards per pass (7.54) and quarterback rating (104.7)"

When Wentz first came back, not having him as a starter might have made sense, but he’s been great recently.
