Carson Wentz will remain Eagles' starting quarterback
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will remain the starter in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks next Monday night, head coach Doug Pederson said.
“No questions about it,” Pederson claimed after Wentz completed 21-of-35 passes for 235 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He took five sacks and threw his second pick-six of the season. Wentz leads the league with 14 interceptions through 10 games and he hasn't completed more than 60.0 percent of his passes since Week 4. If Wentz continues to struggle against the Seahawks' league-worst pass defense (343.7 yards per game), rookie Jalen Hurts could get an opportunity under center.
Wentz is in the top-15 among quarterbacks in terms of FanDuel points per game (18.9), but he has earned the worst passing grade from Pro Football Focus and has the lowest adjusted completion percentage among all quarterbacks with at least 300 dropbacks this season. He may not necessarily be able to take advantage, but Wentz will get to face a Seahawks defense in Week 12 that is allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position.
