Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy not expected to play Week 13

Dianna Russini

4 hours ago

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy, who entered concussion protocol earlier this week, is not expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, I’m told.

Related Players: Max Brosmer

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy looks like he will conveniently miss the Sam Darnold-Vikings matchup, which will showcase what Minnesota could have had if they kept the veteran. Instead, we'll get a Max Brosmer start, who should be left on waiver wires wherever possible.

Vikings Beat: Possible QB Max Brosmer start has felt inevitable

The Athletic

yesterday · 9:34 AM EST

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.

Related players: J.J. McCarthy

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy in protocol

Pro Football Talk

Nov 24 · 2:11 PM EST

The Vikings may be turning to Max Brosmer at quarterback in Week 13.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced on Monday that J.J. McCarthy is in the concussion protocol. O’Connell said that McCarthy reported having concussion symptoms on the flight home after Sunday’s loss to the Packers in Green Bay.

Fantasy Impact:

Brosmer will take the first-team reps while McCarthy is working his way through the protocol and will start against the Seahawks if McCarthy is not cleared for the game. It's typical once a player in is protocol, they will miss the follow week's game. The undrafted rookie is 5-of-8 for 42 yards in four appearances this season, but has never started an NFL game, the story pointed out. The Vikings have said to love Brosmer's skillset, however, he gets a tough test should he start in Week 13 against Seattle.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy upgraded to full participant, on track for Week 11

Vikings upgraded JJ McCarthy from limited practice on Wednesday to full practice today, putting him on track to start Sunday.

Related Players: Max Brosmer, John Wolford

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like McCarthy should get the start here in a good matchup against the Bears defense. Consider him a streaming option and put him in top-15 consideration with a nice rushing floor.
