J.J. McCarthy Expected to Miss 2-4 Weeks With High-Ankle Sprain

Monday, September 15, 3:35 PM

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to miss two to four weeks with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Sunday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Not only has McCarthy looked pretty bad in seven of the eight quarters he's played in the first two games of his NFL career, but now he's dealing with a multi-week injury. The good news is that when he's ready to return, he'll have receiver Jordan Addison back from suspension. Still, those expecting the 22-year-old former first-rounder to come in right away and play like Sam Darnold in head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense have had a rude awakening. McCarthy deserves to be stashed in superflex and dynasty/keeper leagues, but in the meantime, veteran Carson Wentz could be a sneaky QB2 in two-QB leagues, beginning in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jaxson Dart Is The Second String And Ready To Play

Saturday, September 13, 2:26 AM

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, as he is not expected to play. Although the rookie first-round draft pick has impressed in the preseason and is the team's QB2, head coach Brian Daboll has publicly stated that Russell Wilson will remain the starter for Sunday's game. There is some speculation that Dart could see action if Wilson struggles, but given that he has no regular-season statistics for 2025, his fantasy outlook is entirely dependent on an in-game change. Therefore, Dart should be left on the bench or waiver wire for this matchup.
