Wentz is rostered in zero percent of these leagues and put up 20.5 points the last time he was handed the job. Minnesota are 4.5-point underdogs in a 47.5-point total, which is the exact script that forces a quarterback to throw. That is a free streamer if your quarterback room is thin. Murray is Out and stays on your bench until he is cleared; dropping a 99.7%-rostered starter over one missed week is not a plan.
