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.

Vikings sign QB Kyler Murray to one-year deal
Arizona will pay QB $36.8 million
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Mar 12, 6:19 pm
|  | Former Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is signing a one-year deal with the Vikings, per sources. Murray now will become part of a QB room that includes former No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy.
With Murray already owed $36.8 million from Arizona, his one-year contract with the Vikings will be for the veteran league minimum. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: McCarthy is not going to beat out Murray for the starting job in Minnesota this season. In all likelihood, the Vikings will be looking for a QB in the 2027 draft. For now, Murray lands in probably the best spot possible under HC Kevin O'Connell and with arguably the best wide receiver in the league. Murray played in just five games last season due to a sprained foot.
