VIKINGS

Carson Wentz is starting for the Minnesota Vikings this Monday against the Buffalo Bills. There were times last season that Carson Wentz looked like the best quarterback on the Vikings roster, but the quarterback room last year wasn't very good. 

Can Wentz get the Minnesota offense going? He has Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and TJ Hockenson to throw the ball to. The good news is he probably won't need to win the game with that stingy Minnesota defense, he just can't lose the game by committing turnovers. 

In less than two games this season, Carson Wentz has 3 touchdown passes and zero interceptions.

*Jefferson has been in the top 15 wide receivers for scoring in fantasy football once this year and Wentz was his quarterback.

BENGALS

The Bengals offense was not the problem. They can score. They have to figure out if they want to give Tee Higgins (WR) a multi-year contract, tag him again, or let him walk. If they let Higgins walk then they can sign Chris Godwin (TB). Ja'Marr Chase had a huge year catching 127 balls, gaining 1,708 yards, and 17 touchdowns. Now he is looking for an extension that will pay roughly $40 million per year. Mike Gesicki (TE) is a free agent. If they don't resign him Cincinnati could sign Zach Ertz (Wash). The Bengals have Trent Brown (RT) set to hit free agency. They should try to resign him. They also can upgrade the guard position by signing Zach Martin (Dal), Brandon Scherff (Jax), Will Fries (Ind), or Kevin Zietler (Det).  On the defensive side of the ball, Cincinnati needs to be aggressive and sign a good cornerback. They can sign Charvarius Ward (SF) or Byron Murphy (Min). Linebacker Josh Sweat (Phi) would be a great asset as well. He had 8 sacks with the Eagles last year and ...

VIKINGS

The Minnesota Vikings haven't listed JJ McCarthy as the starting quarterback yet, but it is unlikely the Sam Howell (aquired via trade last month) is going to beat him out for the starting job. Howell does have starter experience, but I would be surprised if somehow he beat out McCarthy this training camp/preseason. The Vikings also have Brett Rypien who they are high on. Undrafted rookie, Max Brosmer's best chance is the practice squad.  Competition brings out the best in athletes, but it looks like this is McCarthy's team even if the Vikings don't officially say it. Quarterback is the one question mark for a team that is stacked on both sides of the ball heading into the 2025 season. Let's see if McCarthy can take Minnesota further than Sam Darnold did.

PACKERS

Talk about how quickly things can change. With about 12 minutes left of the third quarter Green Bay was beating Denver 23-14 and they had the ball. In that situation, if the Packers don't have two key playmakers get hurt, they probably win that game. But injuries are part of sports. Jordan Love then throws an interception and wide out Christian Watson gets hurt. Shortly after that Micah Parsons tears his ACL and is out the rest of the season. The Packers go on to lose the game against the Broncos and fall all the way down to the 7th seed in the NFC. Now they still can win the NFC North and possibly get the number 1 seed, but they lost Parsons who led the league in quarterback pressures before getting hurt.  Jeff Hafley will need to get creative without Parsons the rest of the year. It may be that the Packers may need to do what they did most of the time when Rodgers was their quarterback, put up points and outscore their opponents in a shoot out. The NFC playoff race is getting ver...
