Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that Wentz will start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Max Brosmer will handle the backup role in Week 7 while J.J. McCarthy serves as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback as he continues his recovery from a high-ankle sprain. Wentz's fourth start of 2025 comes against the team that drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick back in 2016. He's played reasonably well for the Vikings so far, completing 69 percent of passes for 7.6 yards per attempt, with per-game averages of 33.3 attempts, 253.0 yards and 1.6 touchdowns. Minnesota's offense is fantasy-friendly for quarterbacks, but Wentz doesn't add much on the ground (29 yards, no scores) and has a well-earned reputation for untimely mistakes.
