Carson Wentz’s fantasy ceiling hinges on the surrounding cast and coaching. The Vikings’ setup under Kevin O’Connell promises structure, a solid offensive line, and weapons that fit his approach. Wentz’s last meaningful season was 2022 with Washington, behind a weak unit, so his numbers then reflected roster quality more than raw talent.

Historically, his output tracks roster strength: when pass and run blocking are solid and receivers are productive, he performs; when the supporting cast falters, so does he. Minnesota could supply a better environment, and top OL play could unlock a steady floor with upside if protection holds and the run game stays competent.

James Cook is the Bills' engine, posting 237 yards from scrimmage and 5.2 YPC through two games with three rushing TDs, turning tough runs into long gains and keeping Buffalo's offense rolling.

Keon Coleman lauds his vision and balance; Josh Allen calls him an absolute stud who makes the team better, while Cook signed a four-year extension in August and looks primed for prime form with two prior 1,000-yard seasons on his resume.

His early pace hints at high-end fantasy upside if workload stays steady, making Cook a prominent target in season-long and DFS lineups as Buffalo leans on the run-game punch.

Jonathan Taylor gashed the Broncos for 165 rushing yards on 25 carries, added 50 receiving yards and a receiving TD, and helped Indy secure a 29-28 win. The performance earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week, highlighting Taylor’s emergence as a true three-down back who can carry the ground game and stay on the field in passing downs. A 43-yard grab reached 22.38 mph, the fastest by a ball carrier since Raheem Mostert in 2020, underscoring elite burst and breakaway potential.

He already leads the NFL in carries (43), rushing yards (236), yards after contact (202), and missed tackles forced (14) with 112 yards in missed-tackle yards. Indy’s offense leans on him, and last year’s Week 16 218-yard, 3-TD outburst hints at a possible extended hot stretch. Taylor’s ascent solidifies him as a weekly fantasy cornerstone and a central driver of Indy’s ceiling.
