Trust = spike production for that player
Bust = down-week production for that player’s standards
Quarterback
Carson Wentz: Despite the on-field product and questionable decisions playing the position, Wentz has yielded consistent fantasy results, scoring 17 or more fantasy points in every game but one on the season. Wentz has gone over 20 points just once, but his floor has been high enough to have a reliable 2QB option with streaming ability in 1QB formats, which is the case once again here. The Jets are no defense to avoid, ranking 27th in completion rate (68.2%), 22nd in yards allowed per pass attempt (7.7 Y/A), and 21st in passing points allowed per game (16.5).
