Sam Ehlinger Leads Colts Passing In Loss

Monday, August 12, 1:26 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger completed five of his six passes for 80 yards in the team's loss, his only incompletion resulting in an interception. The Colts played five quarterbacks in Sunday's contest, with Ehlinger playing behind Richardson and Flacco, solidifying his spot as the QB3 in this offense. The former Longhorn will compete with Kedon Slovis and Jason Bean for the role, and all three will be off the fantasy radar heading into the 2024 season.

J.J. McCarthy Doing On-Field Work

Thursday, January 16, 2:30 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) has resumed on-field work, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. The 2024 first-round pick out of Michigan suffered a preseason ACL tear that cost him his entire rookie campaign, forcing veteran Sam Darnold into the starting role. However, it was unclear how much McCarthy was slated to play in Year 1. Darnold threw 35 touchdowns and led Minnesota to 14 wins in 2024, but his late-season collapse in Week 18 and the NFC Wild Card Round could impact his standing with the organization. In all likelihood, McCarthy will start at some point in 2025, and he's an intriguing fantasy football option due to his elite supporting cast consisting of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson.
