Fantasy Tiers

Carson Wentz: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) QB (ranked #26 at the position). Will Levis: Tier 5 (Deep League) QB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 32 quarterbacks this season, Carson Wentz is producing at 64% of elite pace and Will Levis at 60%. That ranking gap means Carson Wentz carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Carson Wentz vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

Carson Wentz (14.1 PPG) and Will Levis (13.2 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two quarterbacks are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Carson Wentz played 5 games for the Minnesota Vikings; Will Levis suited up 14 times for the Tennessee Titans.

A 0.9-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Carson Wentz threw for 1216 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Will Levis posted 2780 yards and 17 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Carson Wentz sits Week 6 while Will Levis is off Week 5. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Carson Wentz (age 33) is on the back end of his prime. Strong now, but dynasty value declines year over year. Will Levis (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
