J.J. McCarthy Cleared from Concussion, Will Start Week 14

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (concussion) has been fully cleared from the injury report and will start Sunday's Week 14 game against the Commanders. He cleared concussion protocol earlier this week and participated fully in practice. Head coach Kevin O'Connell noted McCarthy had a "great week" of practice. Despite facing a Washington defense ranked 30th in passing yards allowed (254.9 YPG) and 32nd in YPA (8.7), McCarthy is still viewed as a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes.
