McCarthy, the 2nd-year signal caller from Michigan, gets the job to himself this season as the Vikings unquestioned starter. Missing his rookie year due to a meniscus tear in the preseason, McCarthy watched Sam Darnold have a career year in this offense, and now gets his own chance to give Minnesota a shot at the title. Fitted with a Super Bowl roster of superstars and game breakers, McCarthy needs to play within the offense and use his athleticism and big arm to keep defenses honest. While he got plenty of "mental reps" last year, it's the decision making that's going to make or break this season. While he won a ton at Michigan, he was never asked to carry the load, or operate a complex passing offense. He's got all the physical gifts and intangibles you could ask for, but what gives him fantasy relevance are his coach, and passing game weapons. Like Darold last year, there is a world where McCarthy is efficient, and does enough with his legs to come into fantasy relevance at some point in the year. With 25+ touchdown potential, and elite receivers, McCarthy is one of my favorite upside QB2s.

 Carson Wentz gets another start for the Vikings
J.J. McCarthy still recovering from ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 17, 3:15 pm
|  | With J.J. McCarthy still recovering from his high ankle sprain, the Vikings once again will start QB Carson Wentz, who spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with Philadelphia. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: McCarthy injured his ankle in Week 2 and will remain out as the Vikings head into Week 7 to face the Eagles. Wentz (shoulder) has finished as the QB15, QB8 and QB24 in his three starts. The Eagles are a middling matchup against QBs making Wentz check in as a mid-range QB2 for Week 7.
