Wentz is likely to start Week 2 with Kyler Murray sidelined by concussion for at least another week; while his 5.5 adjusted net yards per attempt ranks 30th among 40 qualified QBs over the last two seasons, he has posted 21.2 and 19.2 fantasy point performances and generally performs adequately in fantasy, facing a potentially vulnerable Bears defense.NegativeMatchupSep 15, 2026
Wentz and the Vikings face the Bears' defense at home in Week 2. Since his last full season as a starter in Indianapolis, Wentz has accumulated 323-of-507 (63.7%) for 3,385 yards (6.7 YPA) and 22 TDs, but also 54 sacks and 15 INTs; he averaged 3.8 sacks and 1.0 INT per game in 5 starts last year. The Bears led the league in takeaways (33) last year while giving up the 10th-most points and fourth-most yards, making this a fertile ground for sacks and turnovers.PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
