Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on J.J. McCarthy

PodcastWeek 7 Sit/Start + MailbagOctober 21, 2026

From the episode

Jeremy Fowler from ESPN reporting just before we came on air that J.J. McCarthy is expected to start for the G-Men in week seven. Again, playing the Texans. But I do think if you need a quarterback, he's an interesting guy to grab because he'll get you some points with your legs.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

McCarthy starting Week 7; mobile QB offers rushing upside and easier schedule ahead.

McCarthy is expected to start for the Giants in Week 7 against the Texans per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler; he's an interesting streaming option for fantasy because his mobility will generate rushing points, and the Giants' schedule improves after the Texans matchup.
