2023 Fantasy Outlook
Wentz, the second overall pick in the 2016 Draft, started for three different teams over the last three seasons - Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Washington - but after being cut by the Commanders in February, the veteran signal-caller remains unsigned. At this stage, Wentz may have to settle for a backup role in his next locale unless injuries pave the way for the 30-year-old to compete for a No. 1 assignment with another franchise.

Heading to Kansas City
Wentz signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs on Monday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wentz should slot in as Kansas City's top backup quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, considering his competition includes Chris Oladokun and Ian Book as of now. Wentz completed 17 of 24 passes for 163 yards, two touchdowns and one interception to go along with 17 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown during the 2023 campaign as a reserve for the Rams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Foles endorsement has impact
Wentz, who signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs on Monday, noted Thursday that former Eagles teammate Nick Foles' past endorsement of Kansas City head coach Andy Reid impacted his decision to join the defending champions, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wentz and Foles were teammates in Philadelphia during the 2017 and 2018 seasons, and the latter had also started his career with the Eagles as a third-round pick in 2012. It was during that first tenure when Foles had a chance to initially work under Reid, then Philadelphia's head coach. Wentz noted Foles spoke glowingly of Reid and current Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy when Wentz and Foles were teammates, noting "he loved working with those guys, and those things he said to me back then definitely still rang true in my head as I was making this decision."

Credit the Colts for needing just one year to cut bait on Wentz — it took the Eagles five years,
after all. Wentz wasn’t necessarily awful for fantasy (QB13), but he was both inefficient (6.9
YPA, 22nd) and inconsistent. He often held the ball too long (136 pressures, 10th); other times
he rushed throws, missing easy completions (or what GM Chris Ballard referred to as “making
the layups”). On attempts of less than 10 yards, he ranked 26th in completion percentage (66.5)
and 28th in on-target percentage (75.9). With the playoffs in sight, losses in the final two games
were the final straw. Washington, though, was desperate enough to trade for Wentz in March.
He has a couple quality targets in Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel, and the team drafted WR
Jahan Dotson 16th overall as a deep threat. Washington also has a decent backfield with
Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Wentz will need to make a few more of those layups,
though, to increase his fantasy value beyond two-QB leagues.
