Vikings starting QB Kyler Murray will miss Week 2 due to the concussion he sustained late in the first quarter against the Packers in Week 1.  Backup QB Carson Wentz, who completed 12 of 19 for 133 yards and 3 TDs, will get the start instead.  It is confirmed that 2nd year QB J.J. McCarthy will serve as Wentz’s backup.

Wentz rallied the team from a 29 point deficit to a stunning victory, while earning the praise of both teammates and HC Kevin O’ Connell.  Wentz was sharp, decisive, and efficient after stepping in for Murray, and this poses an interesting situation for fantasy football gamers to monitor, as wily Wentz played well enough for HC Kevin O’ Connell to consider Wentz the starting QB going forward.  Wentz is currently PlayerProfiler’s QB 24 heading into Week 2 and rising. ~Jason Diaz
