Do the Vikings have a tough slate of QBs on the way? The fantasy world certainly thinks so
Yesterday we looked at Mike Clay’s projections for the Minnesota Vikings upcoming season, which made me wonder what the fantasy prognostication universe has to say about the teams that are on the Vikings’ schedule this year. So I decided to have a look at the expectations for every quarterback that the Vikings are set to face in 2024.
His rushing is a threat and, while Fantasy Pros expects to throw 13 INTs, Jones only tossed 12 picks between 2021 and 2022 so he’s not likely to give the ball away easily. One interesting thing to watch is whether Jones becomes more of a downfield passer with Malik Nabers in the mix. He only averages 6.6 yards per attempt for his career.
Add history together with some skepticism still remaining from his draft status and you have lower expectations than last year. Is Rodgers going to play enough games to get to these numbers? It seems the projections are still looking heavily weighing the version of Rodgers that competed for MVPs and not putting a ton of skepticism on a 40-year-old QB who hasn’t been a top 10 quarterback in about 1,300 days.
Similar to Goff, Stafford is crazy underrated in terms of ranking by the fantasy projections in comparison to the fear factor in playing against him. Stafford played some of his best football last season, ranking seventh by PFF grade with an impressive 33 big-time throws . Stafford also has just about the best wide receiver duo in the NFL.
He was robbed of a number of touchdowns by his struggling wide receivers. That could improve this year but he was still only PFF’s 14th best QB in 2023 and 12th in 2022.
