Vikings QB Sam Darnold on knee: 'It's good'

Pro Football Talk

Sep 23 · 10:20 AM EDT

“It’s good, and that’s as much as I’m gonna say about that,” Sam Darnold told PFT by phone after Sunday’s 34-7 win over the Texans, regarding his knee.

At first, it didn’t look good. It looked the opposite of good. Darnold had the demeanor of a guy who feared the worst and was trying to will his way through it.

He willed his way back to the field, after missing only one play. He threw four touchdown passes and no interceptions for the day. Darnold kept going until Nick Mullens re-entered and took a knee on the final snap of the game.

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold will have an MRI today, per the story. And, the story went on to say there’s no reason to think the Vikings fear the worst because Darnold did his post-game press conference, and they made him available by phone after the game.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy to miss entire 2024 season

Surgery on J.J. McCarthy’s torn meniscus revealed that a repair was necessary and the Vikings rookie quarterback now will miss the 2024 season.

While the Vikings are disappointed, they “strongly believe he will come back better and have a long, successful NFL career”, as one team official said. But rookie season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

So much for a QB controversy.

This will be Sam Darnold's job, which makes him an interesting target deep in Superflex/2QB leagues.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy to have surgery on torn meniscus

Pro Football Talk

Aug 13 · 1:09 PM EDT

Coach Kevin O’Connell has announced that quarterback J.J. McCarthy will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee.

Related players: Sam Darnold, Nick Mullens, Jaren Hall

Fantasy Impact:

As the story went on to say, the threshold question is whether he’ll have the meniscus trimmed or repaired. As to the former, the player can come back quickly. As to the latter, he could miss several months. The story also pointed out that the other side of the coin is that a repair maximizes the amount of cartilage in the knee. A trim reduces the cushioning, setting the stage for a potential bone-on-bone situation. The story added what it thinks is the smart, long-term play - to get the meniscus repaired and the team goes with Darnold in 2024 and Hall would be the backup. McCarthy could potentially make a return around November. This is just the opinion of the author of course, we should get more information soon. For now, Darnold should get a bump in value with McCarthy at least temporarily out of the picture. He has the weapons around him to be a potential QB2 and superflex option.

Sam Darnold in the QB1 spot heading into Vikings training camp

Kevin Seifert

Jun 13 · 10:06 AM EDT

Sam Darnold will continue as the Minnesota Vikings' lead quarterback when training camp opens next month, coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday as the team wrapped up its final OTA of the spring.

O'Connell stopped short of projecting anything beyond that, saying he plans for a "competitive" training camp at many positions. The Vikings have three other quarterbacks on their roster: Rookie J.J. McCarthy and veterans Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall.

Fantasy Impact:

Even if Darnold begins Week 1 as the starting quarterback, we shouldn't assume that continues deep into the season. McCarthy can still be targeted (very) late in best ball drafts, while neither option should be in consideration for typical 1QB redraft leagues.
