Wentz to have surgery. Out 5-12 weeks. Ouch

Seems it was a very old injury, originally.

Would put him on track for a November return at the latest.

Colts may need to trade for Foles.

It'll be interesting to see what Eason (or Ehlinger?) can do in the limited opportunity window.

I doubt that happens. Foles isn't going to save them in that first 5 game gauntlet.

I guess this means Philly's pick is definitely going to be a 2nd rounder. And Hurts would have ended up being their starter anyway if Wentz had stayed put.

I was excited about Wentz in IND. Health is always an issue with the guy it seems.

I was excited about Wentz in IND. Health is always an issue with the guy it seems.

I have a saying about fantasy sports: "Guys that have gotten injured a lot, will get injured again."

I tend to avoid guys with multiple injuries that have kept them out of multiple games for multiple seasons. Sometimes I avoid a injury-prone guy who ends up healthy all year and has a great (one) season, but I'll take that loss if it prevents me from picking up repeat IL guys like Wentz, OBJ, Mixon. I don't need that frustration.

Tough break for guys counting on Wentz or any Indy receivers. There should be a poll asking if forum members believe Wentz will return in 5 weeks or 12 weeks. I'm voting 13 weeks.

Maybe Minshew is an option for IND?

The pre-fantasy-draft worry about Devonta Smith was that his slight frame might not withstand the rigors of NFL defensive players' hits. Turns out, DSmith can't even withstand the rigors of training camp.

Smith injured his knee reaching to catch a pass - out "a few weeks."

He'll be out however many weeks put him at 69% played for the season is my guess. Just to irk the Eagles.

Jags won't want to trade him within the division.

Good point

Jags won't want to trade him within the division.

Why? Because he's an amazing QB? If they get good value from Indy they would be happy to trade him. Jags aren't going for the Superbowl this year, and minshew won't be playing for the colts next year. Any pick they get from the colts is one less player that they have to use against the jags.

Look at bledsoe going to buffalo after Brady took over. Pats were thrilled to trade him there.

Valid points...but I think it really depends on the FO
