Episode notes
McCarthy Is Dragging Down Vikings Offense
- J.J. McCarthy's early starts have produced historically poor EPA per dropback, harming the Vikings' offense and Justin Jefferson's fantasy output.
- Expectations for Minnesota's weapons should be reduced until McCarthy shows clear improvement.
Don’t Bench McCarthy—Yet
- Do not bench McCarthy yet because the team needs to evaluate him in live games and has limited alternatives.
- Monitor his next two road matchups (Packers, Seahawks) before making long-term roster moves.
Slot Usage Fueled Bryce Young’s Surge
- Bryce Young excelled throwing to the slot vs. Atlanta with elite EPA per dropback when targeting that area.
- If Carolina attacks San Francisco's vulnerable slot coverage, Young can be a viable streaming option this week.
