Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison questionable against New Orleans

Craig Peters

Oct 09 · 7:08 PM EDT

Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday after limited practices Friday. Kevin O’Connell said the team will evaluate both before deciding whether to elevate Odell Beckham Jr. from the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

Start Jefferson if cleared; Addison would have WR2 appeal and additional upside if Jefferson sits. Hockenson remains a strong TE1 and could become the offense’s primary receiving option if both WRs miss. Jennings would move into deeper-league FLEX consideration, with Felton and Price more speculative. Beckham would need an elevation and a defined role before becoming a starting option. Murray’s ceiling drops substantially if both receivers are unavailable.

Vikings QB Kyler Murray (concussion) set to return Week 3

Pro Football Talk

Sep 21 · 2:51 PM EDT

Kyler Murray is set to return to the starting lineup.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his Monday press conference that Murray has cleared concussion protocol and is on schedule to play in the team’s matchup with the Buccaneers.

“Kyler has cleared the final phase of the protocol,” O’Connell said. “He’s doing great, he’ll be cleared, and he will start this week against Tampa Bay.”

Related players: Carson Wentz

Fantasy Impact:

Murray went down early in the Week 1 win over the Packers when he was hit while trying to slide on a scramble. He departed that contest having completed 3-of-5 passes for 18 yards with an interception, the story said. Wentz replaced Murray for the last two weeks and was 11-of-20 for 143 yards in Sunday’s victory over the Bears. Despite leading the team to two wins, Murray will be back as the starter over Wentz, who returns to his backup role.

Vikings rule out Kyler Murray; Carson Wentz to start

Vikings

Sep 18 · 6:24 PM EDT

Kyler Murray has been ruled out against Chicago after failing to clear the concussion protocol. Carson Wentz will start, with J.J. McCarthy serving as Minnesota’s backup.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell expects Murray to clear the protocol next week.

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz is an emergency Superflex option in a road matchup against Chicago. His presence lowers the ceiling of Minnesota’s passing game, but Jefferson remains a must-start WR1. Addison and Hockenson carry more efficiency risk than usual. The positive outlook for next week suggests Murray may only miss one game.

Vikings QB Carson Wentz likely to start if Kyler Murray is not cleared

Dan Graziano

Sep 16 · 10:39 AM EDT

ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports that the Vikings are expected to start Carson Wentz if Kyler Murray cannot clear the concussion protocol before Sunday’s game against Chicago.

J.J. McCarthy could dress as Wentz’s backup in that scenario. Minnesota believes Wentz’s veteran experience gives the offense a better short-notice option, rather than this being a definitive demotion for McCarthy.

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz produced three touchdowns after replacing Murray in Week 1 and would be a viable lower-end Superflex starter against Chicago. The report also provides clarity for Jefferson managers: Wentz, not McCarthy, appears positioned to direct the offense if Murray cannot play.
