Carson Wentz vs Davis Mills: Who Should You Start?
Two quarterbacks who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Carson Wentz (Minnesota Vikings) finished the 2025 season averaging 15.1 fantasy points per game in 5 games. Davis Mills (Houston Texans) came in at 11.6 PPG over 6 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Carson Wentz carries a 3.5-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Carson Wentz threw for 1216 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Davis Mills posted 915 yards and 5 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Carson Wentz has his bye in Week 6, and Davis Mills rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
