2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wentz joined the Vikings in August to be the team's obvious No. 2 QB. The move gives the franchise a veteran backup with plenty of prior success and a mentor for 2024 first-rounder J.J. McCarthy, who hasn't yet played in his first NFL regular-season game. Read Past Outlooks

Full participant Tuesday
Wentz (shoulder) was a full participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota listed Wentz as a limited participant Monday on its initial Week 8 practice report due to his lingering left shoulder injury, but the quarterback never seemed to be at any risk of missing Thursday's game against the Chargers. Head coach Kevin O'Connell put to rest any concern about Wentz's status earlier Tuesday, announcing that the 32-year-old will make his fifth consecutive start Thursday while J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is set to be inactive as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback. McCarthy is expected to reclaim starting duties once he's deemed 100 percent healthy, something that could happen as soon as Week 9 in Detroit. Over his prior four starts, Wentz has gone 2-2 while completing 66.9 percent of his passes for 7.5 yards per attempt and tossing five touchdowns against four interceptions.

Wentz signed a one-year contract in April to back up Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. Last season, he was sitting on his couch when he got the call in November to back up Matthew Stafford in L.A. Wentz started Week 18, throwing two TD passes and running for another score. Now on his fifth team in five seasons, Wentz might benefit from the short passing game Mahomes ran last season. Wentz’s YPA hasn’t topped 7.0 since 2018 and in his last full season as a starter, 2021 with the Colts, his average target depth was a middling 7.6. But he threw 27 TD passes that season, showing he’s not completely washed. His rushing ability adds fantasy upside, which should make him a decent option in two-QB leagues should disaster strike in Kansas City.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could draw one more start
Wentz could draw the start in Week 8 because the Vikings are on a short week, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Wentz is battling a shoulder injury but was estimated to have practiced in a limited capacity Monday. Assuming he is cleared to play, the Vikings will keep him installed as the starter due to a short week of preparation for a Thursday night game against the Chargers. There is a sense of urgency in the organization to get J.J. McCarthy, who is nearing his return from an ankle injury, some game reps, but coach Kevin O'Connell is insistent the second-year QB won't be rushed back.
