Who Should I Start? J.J. McCarthy or Gavin Hardison

Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) had a biologic injection to deal with intermittent swelling in his right knee, according to a source, not a second surgery, as was reported on Wednesday. There has been no change in McCarthy's recovery timeline. "He's really knocked it out of the park every step of the way, and as his rehab has picked up, we noticed a little swelling in there. He's been doing everything we asked of him, but just wanted to make sure that there was no cause for concern, and all reports were very positive," head coach Kevin O'Connell said. The 21-year-old first-rounder had surgery for a torn meniscus on Aug. 14, assuring he won't make his NFL debut until 2025. McCarthy should be rostered in all dynasty/keeper formats with the Vikings hoping he can be their QB of the future. Current starter Sam Darnold has faded a bit after a hot start in 2024.

The Dolphins waived quarterback Gavin Hardison on Saturday. The 22-year-old signed with the team in April as an undrafted free agent. However, with Tua Tagovailoa recently agreeing to a four-year, $212 million extension, Hardison's services are no longer required. In a corresponding move, Miami signed veteran linebacker Curtis Bolton.
