Carson #Wentz Watch: How many snaps did #Colts QB play in Week 11 blowout win over #Bills and how does it impact the #Eagles as we look towards the 2022 #NFLDraft
While the Eagles were trying to hold onto a lead against the Saints, all draft eyes were on Carson Wentz and the Colts (6-5) as they close within striking distance of the 8-3 Tennessee Titans.
The AFC South matchup offered another opportunity to track the former Eagles quarterback as Philadelphia looks to snag three high first-round picks this spring.
When the Eagles traded Wentz in the offseason, the team received a conditional second-round rounder in 2022 that would become a first-round pick if the quarterback takes 75% of the Colts’ regular-season offensive snaps or 70% if they make the playoffs.
We’re tracking the quarterback snaps as Philadelphia marches towards a third first-round pick.

The Philadelphia Eagles must unleash Quez Watkins against Bucs; DeVonta Smith is really finding his rhythm after five weeks
There’s something about Quez Watkins and DeVonta Smith that brings such a bright smile to the face of Eagles fans.
Watkins shot the life back into an Eagles offense that saw Jalen Hurts somewhat restricted against a Carolina Panthers defense that’s among the NFL’s best.
Just when the Panthers looked to put a lid on the game and seal the deal, Hurts found Quez Watkins on a 53-yard pass to set up a 1-yard touchdown run.
It’s evident Watkins’ production on the field is present — though, not enough. He’s shown flashes of “what could be” if he’s utilized on the field a little longer, and he’s actually getting more snaps than Jalen Reagor.

He finished with 48 yards on three catches against the Panthers and overall this season, Watkins has 13 receptions, 267 receiving yards, averaging 20.5 yards per carry. Also, important to note, Watkins’ 267 receiving yards through five games into the season is second behind leading receiver Smith (314 yards).
Smith seems like he’s getting more comfortable each game, and it’s so amazing to see him and Hurts connect. The Eagles rookie receiver finished Sunday with 77 receiving yards on 7 catches, as he was targeted eight times.
He did have one disappointing drop, and a touchdown called back after a holding call on Greg Ward — but Smith made up for all of it on the two-point conversion to give the Eagles a 21-18 lead in the fourth quarter.
On the season, Smith has racked up 314 yards on 25 catches while averaging 12.6 yards per carry.
Both receivers, especially Smith, need to be involved heavily on Thursday night against the Buccaneers. Smith will likely see matchups against a Bucs secondary that will try their best to corral him. This, ultimately, is where coach Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen must involve Watkins more as an additional threat to the receiving corps.
