Sean Mannion
QB - MIN
2022 Outlook
Vikings QB Sean Mannion completed 22-of-36 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown in Sunday night's blowout loss to the Packers. He added two carries for 14 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Mannion actually led the team in rushing yards, as Dalvin Cook was held to merely 13 yards on nine carries. While Mannion didn't commit any turnovers, he did not display much accuracy throwing the ball throughout the entire game, and finished with 5.3 yards per attempt. He failed to push the ball downfield for most of the contest, until garbage time late in the second half when the Packers had already taken care of business. Mannion is expected to resume his backup duties in next week's season finale with Kirk Cousins back under center, unless the Vikings decide to rest their starters in what will be a meaningless game against the Bears.
Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports the Vikings are expected to activate QB Sean Mannion off the COVID-19 list on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
This would mean that Mannion is in line to start against the Packers on Sunday night. Kirk Cousins, who is unvaccinated, tested positive earlier on Friday and has been ruled out. Kellen Mond would back up Mannion if he's cleared to play. This is a massive downgrade to all of Minnesota's pass catchers, especially Justin Jefferson.
Sean Mannion was 13-for-23 for 118 yards on Saturday night as the Seahawks lost to the Broncos by a 30-3 score in preseason action.
Fantasy Impact
Mannion signed with Seattle three weeks ago after spending last season in Minnesota where he completed 12 of 21 passes for 126 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions in three games. He is currently in competition with Geno Smith and Alex McGough as Seattle's quarterbacks behind starter Russell Wilson.
Sean Mannion completed 12 of 21 pass attempts for 126 yards and two interceptions, adding no gain on one carry in the Vikings’ 21-19 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Mannion drew the start Sunday, as Kirk Cousins acted as a backup. The Vikings locked up the No. 6 seed with no room for movement, so playing Cousins made no sense.
Sean Mannion completed 10-of-16 passes for 84 scoreless yards in Los Angeles' second preseason game versus the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
None of the starters played for the Rams in this one. Mannion's highlight was a 47-yard catch by KhaDarel Hodge. Mannion likely won't have much fantasy value even in the event of a Jared Goff injury.
