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.

The Rams can flip their season by syncing run and pass against Philadelphia. Kyren Williams needs a clear, sustained role; Corum’s burst could widen the backfield and unlock efficient rushing lanes and better targets in the passing game.

Fangio’s chessboard presents a stern test for Stafford—patience, quick reads, and play-action must anchor LA’s approach. With Jalen Carter back, interior protection must tighten, and a cleaner, more aggressive attack could lift the Rams toward true title contention.

A.J. Terrell Jr. is week-to-week with a hamstring scare, forcing Atlanta to map out life without him as the season unfolds. The Falcons signed four practice-squad options—Ethan Robinson, Eli Ricks, Ameer Speed and B.J. Mayes—to boost depth behind their star corner. Ricks’ Eagles title run and Speed’s Patriots/Colts stints add a varied toolkit for potential coverage shifts. Terrell’s Week 1 shutdown of Mike Evans and limited Week 2 snaps set the stage for shifting fantasy dynamics in Atlanta.

Depth moves loom large for fantasy managers as the Falcons weigh health versus risk. The new faces provide speculative upside if Terrell misses time, while opponents may target the secondary uncertainty. A fluctuating Falcons’ back end could tilt matchups and elevate or complicate value for Falcons opponents and pass-catchers alike.
