Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or J.J. McCarthy

Friday, October 17, 8:11 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns while adding a third touchdown on the ground in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Jones' bounce-back season has been one of the best stories in the NFL this year as he has now thrown for 1,502 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding four rushing scores. He will now head on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7 as he looks to stay hot. The Chargers have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. That being said, the Colts and Jones in particular have been too good this season to fade due to a difficult matchup. Jones sets up as a top-12 fantasy QB heading into Week 7's games.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is currently recovering as he tries to work his way back from a multi-week absence. However, even when McCarthy is healthy again, he's not guaranteed to reclaim the starting quarterback job in Minnesota. Carson Wentz (shoulder) has been playing well as the Vikings' fill-in starter, and it could be tempting for head coach Kevin O'Connell to ride the hot hand. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "the Vikings are putting off [the quarterback] decision until they absolutely have to make it. If Wentz wins this week, wins next week, it's hard to imagine the team making him the backup, after that run of success." McCarthy remains a strong stash in dynasty leagues, but he has lost plenty of his redraft appeal.
