Max Brosmer

Max Brosmer completed 19-of-30 passing attempts for 126 yards and four interceptions in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Brosmer had about as poor of an NFL debut as possible on Sunday. He failed to score a touchdown and threw four interceptions against the Seahawks, and he wasn't able to lead the Vikings on even one scoring drive in that matchup. J.J. McCarthy (concussion) may be cleared to play in the near future and would likely reclaim the starting job over Brosmer, but it's debatable how much of an upgrade that would actually be.

With J.J. McCarthy officially ruled out due to a concussion and Carson Wentz already on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, the Vikings are turning to rookie Max Brosmer to start under center this Sunday against Seattle. The 24-year-old, who went undrafted out of Minnesota, finds himself atop the depth chart as the next man up for the struggling squad.

Fantasy Impact

Brosmer has seen sparse action in the regular season, completing five of eight passes for 42 yards without a score. His preseason work offered a larger sample size, where he completed 60 percent of his 58 attempts for 364 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Max Brosmer will receive first-team reps at practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

J.J. McCarthy remains in concussion protocol, but he is expected to practice in limited fashion on Wednesday. Brosmer remains on track to likely start on Sunday in Seattle.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Max Brosmer will step into the backup role.

Fantasy Impact

J.J. McCarthy is expected to step back into the starting role this week. Carson Wentz underwent season-ending surgery.
