J.J. McCarthy Ready For Week 9

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. McCarthy played well in one of eight quarters to open the season. We’ll see if he can get rolling coming off the extended absence, but he can’t be trusted as more than a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups. McCarthy also adds a bit more downside to WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
