The camp battle between Darnold and McCarthy is going to be quite entertaining, as the winner inherits the keys to a potent set of receivers and a coach that coaxed multiple 4,000 yard, 30-touchdown seasons out of Kirk Cousins. McCarthy has looked the part of a raw, talented prospect, but he knows how to win, unlike his veteran competition. Darnold has bounced around the league after leaving the Jets, and finds himself on his third team in three years. He hasn't played a meaningful snap in several seasons, but his pedigree, experience, and brief early career flashes, likely make him the Week 1 starter for the Vikes. If Kevin O'Connell is the QB whisperer many think he is, Darnold could play well enough to win some games and keep the rookie at bay. Minnesota is a win now team in an incredibly competitive division, so unless Darnold completely implodes, I expect his leash will be as long as Vikings fans allow it to be. Call me crazy, but I can see a world where Darnold plays well, reaps the benefits of an elite set of receivers and sneaks into fantasy relevance. How long that lasts is the problem. With how tough this division is set up to be, a few early season losses will have the McCarthy chants too loud to ignore. Unfortunately, with how deep the position is, I just can't see either guy being draftable options. McCarthy's athleticism and big arm offer the most upside when he eventually takes over, but either guy can be plucked off the waiver wire if necessary.

 J.J. McCarthy out for the 2024 season, knee injury
Torn meniscus
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Aug 14, 1:43 pm
|  | #Vikings rookie QB J.J. McCarthy will miss the entire 2024 season after having his torn meniscus repaired today by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Disappointing end to Year 1, but repair gives McCarthy the best chance at a long career. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Vikings were hoping that a full repair wasn't necessary but unfortunately the rookie will now miss the entire season, leaving the starting quarterback duties to Sam Darnold, who now becomes a viable fantasy option late in drafts as a backup quarterback. Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall are also currently on the roster.
| J.J. McCarthy expected to undergo knee surgery
Torn meniscus in his right knee
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Aug 13, 12:27 pm
| | ESPN Sources: Vikings rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy is expected to be undergo knee surgery that will determine how much time he will be sidelined. McCarthy complained about knee soreness over the weekend, and underwent an MRI on Monday night. McCarthy has a torn meniscus in his right knee, per HC Kevin O’Connell. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Sam Darnold was already slated to begin the season as the Vikings starting quarterback and this injury will delay McCarthy's advancement up the QB depth chart. The timeline for McCarthy will depend on whether or not the meniscus needs a full repair or just a cleanup. In the meantime, Darnold and the Vikings face a difficult early-season schedule with NYG, SF, HOU, GB and the Jets on tap before a bye in Week 6.
