With J.J. McCarthy still recovering from his high ankle sprain, the Vikings once again will start QB Carson Wentz, who spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with Philadelphia. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take:McCarthy injured his ankle in Week 2 and will remain out as the Vikings head into Week 7 to face the Eagles. Wentz (shoulder) has finished as the QB15, QB8 and QB24 in his three starts. The Eagles are a middling matchup against QBs making Wentz check in as a mid-range QB2 for Week 7.
