J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz share Vikings second-team reps
J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz, both quarterbacks for the Minnesota Vikings, split second-team reps during a relatively brief 80-minute practice, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. Neither player separated himself as the clear backup.
The backup quarterback role carries limited fantasy value in most formats, but if the starter goes down, whoever holds that second spot becomes an immediate streaming target. Right now, no clear heir has emerged from this snapshot.
Monitor future practice reports. If one of these two pulls away in reps, that will be the signal to prioritize him on your waiver wire contingency list.
