Quarterback
Carson Wentz
You see the numbers above. It is not entirely Wentz’s fault as his entire receiving corps have deteriorated, but his own play is compounding things. Wentz has a career-high 4.5% interception rate now after a sub-2.0% rate the previous three years. Wentz’s yards per attempt have dropped each week of the season with multiple interceptions in each. The one thing that may save him here is if he can run like he did a week ago when he added 12.5 rushing points to his line and were more than the 9.0 passing points he provided. A year after struggling to contain mobile passers, San Francisco has allowed 13-91-1 to Kyler Murray in Week 1 and 5-49 rushing to Daniel Jones a week ago. Even with that potential spade, Wentz is a QB2 option with his limited arsenal.
