News: 1 day agoThe Vikings have named McCarthy's teammate Kyler Murray as their starting quarterback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Spin: McCarthy, who the Vikings selected 10th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, missed his entire rookie campaign due to injury and started just 10 games last year, with the team winning six of them. With Murray now having been named the starter ahead of Minnesota's preseason slate, McCarthy is slated to serve as the team's No. 2 signal-caller, with Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer rounding out the current depth chart.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: McCarthy's career is off to a slow start after the 2024 first-round pick missed his entire rookie season because of an injury then struggled through 2025. McCarthy appeared in 10 games and totaled 11 passing TDs and 12 interceptions while completing an ugly 58% of his passes. McCarthy added some value with his legs (including four TDs), but his production was extremely inconsistent (18-plus fantasy points in four games, but 6.7 per game in his other six outings). The 23-year-old still has plenty of time to develop, but that might come as a backup to Kyler Murray this season. McCarthy is worth considering in only superflex or dynasty leagues.
