Max Brosmer

McCarthy missed Week 13 with the brain injury. Despite being one of the least efficient quarterbacks in recent memory, McCarthy still proved to be a better option than Max Brosmer once the latter took the field. Brosmer was intercepted four times versus Seattle, including one pick-six. McCarthy isn't on the fantasy radar, even if a great matchup versus the Commanders. He might, however, be able to keep the light on for Justin Jefferson as a WR3.

With rookie backup Max Brosmer starting against the Seahawks Sunday, the Vikings turned the ball over five times, including four interceptions in a 26-0 loss.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that QB J.J. McCarthy is symptom-free and expected to clear concussion protocol on Wednesday. Barring a setback, he'll be under center for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. QB Max Brosmer was predictably a disaster in Seattle yesterday, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt with four INTs on 30 passes. So we can't call McCarthy's return bad news for the offense, but this remains a unit to have very little faith in. The matchup is at least good against a Commanders team sitting 30th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs and 26th vs. WRs.
