Jared Goff may be sitting for the Los Angeles Rams this season, but the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft will start out of the gate. Mere days after trading Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings, the Philadelphia Eagles have named Carson Wentz their starting quarterback. 

It's a dramatic shift from earlier in the summer when the team had planned to sit Wentz for the duration of his rookie season, potentially making him a game-day inactive throughout. 

What makes this so interesting is the fact that the Eagles are asking a North Dakota State product to start just nine months removed from his last college game. More than that, Wentz attempted a grand total of 24 preseason passes before going out to injury. He's raw. He comes from a small school. And he's being tasked with starting in the NFL as a rookie. 

From a fantasy perspective, there's a whole heck of a lot to look at here. 

First off, the expectation has to be that Philadelphia will be relying more on the ground game with the rookie under center. This means that Ryan Mathews, should he remain healthy, is going to be a solid under-the-radar RB1 option in standard leagues. It also means that Darren Sproles should be considered a waiver-wire add in PPR-heavy formats. 

Young quarterbacks tend to rely on their running game. That much is already known. Though, they also seem inclined to rely on their running backs in the passing game. This makes both Mathews and Sproles PPR options. Sproles is averaging 48 receptions per season in his two years with Philadelphia. Expect that number to increase to the levels we saw during his New Orleans Saints days when the veteran put up 70-plus receptions in each of his three seasons. 

As it relates to Mathews, he's only put up 29 receptions over the past two seasons. That came on the heels of the former first-round pick averaging 40 receptions in the previous three years. Again, look for him to cross that 40-catch plateau in 2016. 

Also important to note, young signal callers love their tight ends. Players at that position act as safety valves when things are not opening up on the outside. It's in this that Zach Ertz's value has now increased a great deal following the trade of Bradford. 

Ertz put up 75 receptions for 853 yards and three scores a season ago. While it's unrealistic to expect much of an increase in terms of receptions and yards this season, there's no reason to believe Ertz won't see an uptick in red-zone targets. That ups his value a great deal. 

For the receivers, well ... it's not pretty. 

We simply don't know if Wentz is going to be successful throwing to the outside. As you likely already know, a receiver is only as valuable as his quarterback. If he's not being targeted, the fantasy production simply won't be there. This drops Jordan Matthews value down a greal deal. Previously boasting WR1 upside, we consider Matthews nothing more than a mid-tier WR2 or FLEX option this season.
