Eagles did not consider benching QB Carson Wentz Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson said that he did not consider replacing Carson Wentz with Jalen Hurts during Sunday's night's game against the Dallas Cowboys, adding that Jalen Hurts and Nate Sudfeld need to be ready in case that situation comes up down the road.

Fantasy Impact: 

Wentz turned the ball over four times and ended 15-of-27 for 123 yards with a pair of touchdowns in a 23-9 win over the Cowboys. Wentz is on pace for the worst statistical season of his career. He leads the league in turnovers (16), interceptions (12) and sacks (32), is 31st in completion percentage (58.4) and 29th in yards per attempt (6.1). His play had picked up over the last few games, as he led multiple comeback efforts, before tailing off against Dallas, which entered as the most giving defense in the NFL.
