Vikings QB Carson Wentz will start this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles, HC Kevin O’Connell announced Friday. QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) was limited in practice this week but will be the emergency third QB for this game. It sounds like Minnesota wants him to get in a full week of practice before taking back over. Wentz is only in play in 2-QB and superflex fantasy leagues, but he’s been an upgrade for WR Justin Jefferson and the rest of the passing game.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. QB Carson Wentz, who's dealing with a left (non-throwing) shoulder issue, was a full participant. HC Kevin O'Connell declined to name a starter on Wednesday for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, but we're guessing it'll be Wentz unless McCarthy gets in a full practice one of these next two days.
