Carson Wentz, QB, Philadelphia Eagles

FanDuel Price: $7,400
Projected Points: 20.3

After a knee injury cut his 2017 campaign short, Carson Wentz will finally make his return to the starting lineup on Sunday.

Taking a quick look back at his 2017 performance to refresh our memory reminds us that in 13 games, he topped 250 passing yards 6 times and threw multiple touchdown passes in 10 of those games. He also averaged 23.0 rushing yards per game, which provides a solid boost to his floor.

Of course, there is always reason to worry about rust with any player returning from an injury layoff, but Wentz has had a whole nine months to recover. And considering the Eagles won the Super Bowl without him, they certainly feel comfortable enough not rushing him back into action until he is fully ready.

Now, Wentz will return to game action against the Indianapolis Colts, who allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks last season.

Playing at home, the Philadelphia Eagles have the fifth-highest implied total (27.25 points) on the main slate, lining Wentz up with a great opportunity to pick up right where he left off last season.
