Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Carson Wentz (TRUST): Wentz has thrown for just 6.1 yards per pass attempt over his past six games and for more than 7.0 Y/A in just one of those games, but he still is coming off a three-touchdown game last week, his eighth game this season with multiple passing touchdowns, which is tied for third in the league.
Wentz gets a draw against a Houston defense that is 29th in blitz rate (16.8%) and 27th in pressure rate (19.5%), but they have allowed just three QB1 scoring weeks on the season because teams inevitably call off the dogs through the air due to game script against them. When these teams met back in Week 6, that happened as Wentz attempted just 20 passes (five in the second half) despite averaging 11.2 yards per pass attempt with a pair of touchdowns. Limited volume is the only roadblock here, but Wentz is still a top streamer in 1QB formats and a high-floor option in 2QB formats.
