Minnesota named Kyler the Week 1 starter over J.J. McCarthy on Tuesday. Justin Herzig notes that getting the call in mid-August hands a mobile quarterback a full month of first-team reps in O'Connell's offense before Week 1, which is exactly the runway he needs. Herzig is bullish on the Vikings offense overall and has Kyler as his 2nd highest owned QB.PositiveRoleAug 10, 2026
Separating in the Vikings' quarterback battle, taking roughly two-thirds of the first-team 11-on-11 snaps with 63 first-team reps over the last four practices to J.J. McCarthy's 33.
