The Vikings are reportedly planning to start quarterback JJ McCarthy this season.
Dynasty Analysis
In other words, they're moving on from the idea of signing Aaron Rodgers. It was always a bit of a long shot (and a curious move) for the Vikings to consider bringing on A-Rod since they invested a first round pick on McCarthy just last season. In the end, the cons looked to have outweighed the pros and Minnesota is clearly of the mindset McCarthy will be ready to start in week one. While nothing is truly official until Rodgers signs elsewhere, it really does look like McCarthy's value is trending up.

While this may sound terrible, it really isn't that concerning as it won't affect his timeline much. The bigger concern for McCarthy managers is the fact Sam Darnold has played really well this season, making McCarthy more of a luxury at the moment. Regardless, he should get his chance to start next season on time unless Darnold really sets the league on fire here over the second half of the season and forces Minnesota to change course. His dynasty value is stable.
