Behind the scenes, the team’s reviews of Max Brosmer's play and disposition were constantly rosy. It might seem easy to say this now, with Brosmer potentially set to start Sunday in Seattle, but this opportunity almost felt like an inevitability.

We've been reporting on Brosmer since Carson Wentz got banged up playing when McCarthy was out earlier this season. McCarthy hasn't been great as of late, but is now in concussion protocol and his status is unknown heading into Week 13. It will be a tough draw for either QB, playing at Seattle. But, the story talks about how the Vikings have loved Brosmer since going undrafted, and he impressed HC Kevin O'Connell since the summer, running the third team offense against the Titans, leaving O'Connell to say, “Moving the team and getting the ball out. He was seeing things at a veteran-level type of eye progression.” Brosmer may not be a must-grab off the wire in typical leagues and one-QB leagues, but in deeper formats and dynasty leagues, especially superflex, if Brosmer is on your wire he could be worth stashing, as there seems to be a lot of question marks surrounding the Vikings QB room currently.

One key piece on the roster is third-year back Jaleel McLaughlin, who immediately leapt from gameday inactive into a key role as the Broncos’ No. 2 RB against the Chiefs.

The story started by saying the Broncos tried to sign Dameon Pierce, but he opted to sign with the Chiefs. Piece is formerly of the Texans. It's a sign the Broncos may be looking for help at the position with the loss of Dobbins. The story added Badie's role wasn't going to change as the third down back, so it leaves McLaughlin as the team's RB2. McLaughlin wound up earning six carries against Kansas City and two key goal-line reps in the third quarter, and could be in the line for plenty more in the coming weeks, the story pointed out.

Baker Mayfield's status for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals remains uncertain, but there are no long-term injury concerns.

Related players: Teddy Bridgewater, Bucky Irving

If Mayfield can't go, Bridgewater would get the start and the story said the Bucs would likely have to tweak their offense. The Bucs could be getting Irving back just in time if that's the case, but how many snaps Irving would get - assuming he plays - would be a big question for fantasy owners. The Bucs have a home game against the Cardinals in the early window Sunday, but Mayfield owners may want to plan now just in case.
