J.J. McCarthy Week 11 Outlook - Bears at Vikings

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 13th 2025, 1:35pm EST

J.J. McCarthy has had an up-and-down start to his career. Yes, in his three "healthy" starts, he has been the QB11, QB14, and QB13 in weekly scoring, but his passing accuracy needs to improve. Overall, among 42 qualifying passers, he ranks 30th in yards per attempt and 28th in CPOE, but he is also first in hero throw rate. The high-end moments are there, but he has to improve the play-to-play consistency. The Bears offer a wonderful matchup this week for McCarthy to possibly play up to his potential and post another QB1 outing. Since Week 6, Chicago has allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game and yards per attempt, the fifth-most passing touchdowns (tied), and the second-highest CPOE.
