Start Carson Wentz: 91 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Malik Nabers's 84 percent of the snaps and 36 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.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Malik Nabers, and the board ranks him 12th overall on the rest of his evidence.

By format he goes standard: ADP 12; 2QB: ADP 27.

Side by side

In 2025 Carson Wentz scored 15.1 PPR points a game and Malik Nabers 14.3, 0.8 a game between them.

Carson Wentz finished QB39 and Malik Nabers WR101, which are two different ladders.

Carson Wentz is a quarterback and Malik Nabers 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 Malik Nabers in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

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.
