Injury J.J. McCarthy out for the 2024 season, knee injury
Torn meniscus

Minnesota Vikings
#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.


Injury J.J. McCarthy expected to undergo knee surgery
Torn meniscus in his right knee

Minnesota Vikings
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.
