Fantasy Impact

Dobbs turned in a solid season as a starter across 13 games with the Cardinals and Vikings in 2023, tallying 2,464 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. The veteran will provide the 49ers with a solid backup quarterback option behind Brock Purdy.

The Minnesota Vikings have officially listed QB Joshua Dobbs as their emergency third QB, making him inactive for Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

As the Vikings fight for their playoff lives against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, Dobbs has been demoted officially down to third string. Nick Mullens and rookie Jaren Hall are active, and Dobbs will only be eligible to play if both are injured. The Vikings have also listed S Lewis Cine, RB Alexander Mattison, TE Nick Muse, G Chris Reed, T Brian O'Neill, and WR Jalen Nailor as inactive.

Minnesota Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs, who was benched in Week 14's 3-0 victory, has been demoted to the emergency QB and will not be active in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Dobbs has seen his struggles in Minnesota's offense increase after a strong start to his Vikings campaign following a mid-season acquisition via trade. He went 2-2 in four starts and threw five touchdowns, five interceptions and 895 yards in his five appearances in Minnesota so far this season. He will only be able to play if QB1 Nick Mullens and QB2 Jaren Hall are both out with an injury.

Joshua Dobbs completed 10-of-23 passes for 63 yards in the Vikings’ 3-0 win over the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Dobbs also added 21 rushing yards on five attempts before being benched late in the game for Nick Mullens. Mullens entered the game and completed 9-of-his 13 pass attempts and led the Vikings on their game winning field goal drive. Fantasy managers should avoid Dobbs and Mullens heading into a Week 15 matchup with the Bengals.

Joshua Dobbs will start for the Vikings in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

After Dobbs threw four picks in a dismal 12-10 loss to the Bears back in Week 12, the Vikings' coaching staff made it known that they would spend the bye week evaluating the QB position. With the team now getting set for a trip to Las Vegas, head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Wednesday that he would stick with Dobbs under center. Dobbs has played four games for the Vikings so far, completing 66.4 percent of his passes for an average of 208 yards with a 5-to-5 TD/INT ratio. He has added 142 and three touchdowns on 25 carries.
