Who Should I Start? Anthony Miller or Sam Darnold

Tuesday, October 10, 9:15 PM

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent wide receiver Anthony Miller to their practice squad on Tuesday. Miller last popped up on an NFL roster with the San Francisco 49ers late in August but hasn't appeared in a game since Week 12 of the 2021 season, when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Overall, Miller has 140 receptions for 1,589 yards and 12 touchdowns across 50 games. Miller will add some depth to the Colts' receiving corps in hopes of getting signed to the 53-man roster at some point during the 2023 season.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold could be named the team's Week 1 starter over first-round pick J.J. McCarthy. As Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com writes, "It's only a matter of time before McCarthy becomes the Vikings' starting quarterback [...] but it is not likely to happen as quickly as some fans might hope, and if anything, the Vikings are poised to err on the side of methodical caution." Such a scenario could see Minnesota let Darnold, whom they signed this past offseason when Kirk Cousins left for Atlanta, start a few games before transitioning to McCarthy. Darnold has struggled to support major fantasy production from his playmakers at previous stops, including the Jets and Panthers, so fantasy managers might want to temper expectations with players like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson to start the year. Darnold himself falls to the low-end QB3 tier in fantasy football drafts.
