DS 3D ProjectionsSam Darnold's Preseason Player AnalysisJ.J. McCarthy is clearly the QB of the “future,” but that future won't start until at least 2025 after his mid-August meniscus repair. That likely leaves Darnold as the full-season starter, unless he gets hurt or reverts to truly dreadful play. Barring that, he's interesting as a later superflex option and cheap DFS play.

Sam Darnold One-And-Done In Minnesota?
The Vikings and QB Sam Darnold have not had any discussions about a long-term contract, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Darnold is scheduled to hit free agency in March. He's had a nice season for Minnesota, but the team spent the 10th overall pick of this year's draft on QB J.J. McCarthy, who's the favorite to start next season.
Sam Darnold Throws Two Late TD Passes
Vikings QB Sam Darnold struggled for most of Sunday's win over the Cardinals but saved his fantasy line (and the victory) with a pair of TD passes late. Darnold hit TE Johnny Mundt from 4 yards out for a score near the end of the third quarter. He found RB Aaron Jones for a 5-yard TD late in the fourth to take the lead for good. Darnold finished the game with 235 yards, 2 TDs, 5 sacks taken but no turnovers.
Daniel Jones Off to Minnesota
The Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to their practice squad, per multiple reports. Jones recently cleared waivers, as expected, and reportedly wanted to sign with a contending team. That’s certainly the case with the 9-2 Vikings. Eventually, Jones should slide into the backup role behind Sam Darnold. But the former Giant remains a shaky bet to start come Week 1 of 2025. The Vikings just invested a Round 1 pick in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.
Jordan Addison Outshines Justin Jefferson Against Bears
Vikings WR Jordan Addison caught eight of nine targets for 162 yards and a TD while Justin Jefferson only caught two of five targets for 27 yards. Addison was the favored target for QB Sam Darnold who threw for 330 yards and two TDs.
