Biggest disappointment, candidate No. 1: Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles
Not enough people realize that Wentz -- and not the Giants' turnover machine, Daniel Jones -- leads the NFL in giveaways this season. Wentz has thrown 12 interceptions and lost four of his seven fumbles, putting his total turnovers (16) well above Jones' (13).
Nothing else should matter about how Wentz has played, even if he occasionally places a perfectly thrown ball in a key situation -- as he did on a game-winning, 18-yard touchdown throw to running back Boston Scott in Week 7 against Jones' Giants. Frankly, the Eagles are fortunate it hasn't hurt them worse than it has. Wentz's average turnover has cost them minus-3.5 expected points added (EPA), the 12th lowest among 38 players who have committed at least three turnovers this season. In other words, this could all have been much worse.

Best, worst NFL quarterbacks at midseason: Wilson's poise under pressure, Herbert's deep ball, more
