Start Carson Wentz: 88 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Ja'Kobi Lane's 64 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size314 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Carson Wentz, and the board ranks him 116th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Ja'Kobi Lane, and the board ranks him 118th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
No season market is posted for Carson Wentz, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.
Ja'Kobi Lane's market-based projection is 5.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 5 market sources. That is the 118th highest figure of the 214 players with a market-based projection.
This season through Week 9
Through Week 9, Carson Wentz has been on the field for 88 percent of MIN snaps, dropped back 72 times and thrown 9.0 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 15 of 72 dropbacks and scrambled 2 times.
In Week 1 against GB he completed 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards, threw 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 2 times for 2 yards.
In Week 2 against CHI he completed 11 of 20 passes for 143 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 3 times for 6 yards.
In Week 9 against BUF he completed 8 of 24 passes for 81 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions and ran 1 time for 0 yards.
Through Week 9, Ja'Kobi Lane has been on the field for 57 percent of BAL snaps, drawn 11 percent of the targets and had 15 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 9 of the offence's 45 third down targets, had 1 of its 8 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 18 two minute targets.
His 14 targets have averaged 10.6 air yards.
In Week 7 against CIN he caught 3 of 5 targets for 25 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against BUF he caught 1 of 1 target for 13 yards and did not score.
In Week 9 against JAX he was not given the ball.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Carson Wentz played 5 games and scored 75.3 PPR points, 15.1 a game, finishing QB39.
He threw for 1216 yards on 169 attempts with 6 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, and ran for 57 yards and 0 touchdowns.
That came to 33.8 attempts a game at 7.2 yards an attempt.
He was on the field for 71 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Ja'Kobi Lane is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Side by side
Carson Wentz is a quarterback and Ja'Kobi Lane a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Carson Wentz is off in Week 6 and Ja'Kobi Lane in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
Carson Wentz is listed as questionable on the injury report.
What would change the answer
Carson Wentz has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
