J.J. McCarthy 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: What Should We Expect From McCarthy in 2025?
Following an end-of-season meltdown, the Minnesota Vikings opted not to re-sign Sam Darnold to a new contract this offseason. As a result, the 2024 NFL Draft's 10th overall pick, J.J. McCarthy, is set to take over as Minnesota's QB1. McCarthy is a total wildcard, but the Vikings' regime is reportedly very bullish on his outlook. This makes sense as the team traded up to acquire him in the 2024 NFL Draft and was comfortable letting Darnold leave so McCarthy could start. For fantasy football purposes, quarterbacks have fared quite well in head coach Kevin O'Connell's system. With a revamped offensive line and Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson at his disposal, McCarthy has plenty of ammunition to deliver a strong 2025 season. He won't cost much in drafts and has a current NFFC ADP of 152.19 overall. McCarthy is worth a gamble later in single quarterback leagues and is a fine QB2 option in superflex drafts. Don't be surprised if McCarthy turns heads in his first season as the Vikings' starter.
