The Vikings have been linked to free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers in recent weeks. Minnesota is Rodgers' preferred destination, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't exactly squash the rumors when asked about Rodgers on Wednesday. "For me to sit here and say that anything's 100 percent forever, that's just not the job," Adofo-Mensah said. "We're responding to scenarios and different information as it comes. So obviously things can change, but right now we're really happy with our [quarterback] room and we're going to look to upgrade it in different ways." Adofo-Mensah added that J.J. McCarthy as the starting QB is "the outcome we want" and "the outcome we're headed towards."
The Vikings took McCarthy with the 10th overall pick of last year's draft, so it'd be surprising if they didn't give him a shot at the starting job this season. But McCarthy is working back from a knee injury that cost him his entire rookie campaign. And the Vikings are in a win-now spot. We've seen stranger things.
We ultimately expect McCarthy to be Minnesota's 2025 starter (and for Rodgers to end up in Pittsburgh). But McCarthy comes with added risk in fantasy drafts until we get clarity on the situation.
