Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy Declares Himself "Ready To Go" After Ankle Injury

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, taking all first-team reps, and declared himself "ready to go" after recovering from an ankle injury. McCarthy expressed confidence, stating, "I feel like myself again. I feel like I have those mobility things that I was concerned about going into last week and the prior weeks. So yeah, ready to go." This marks his return from a six-game absence. Despite his readiness, McCarthy will face a challenging Week 9 matchup in Detroit as an 8.5-point underdog, making him a shaky fantasy option even in 2-QB and superflex leagues.
