Is J.J. McCarthy the Most Undervalued QB in 2025 Fantasy Football?
Right now, J.J. McCarthy is being drafted as the QB18 in fantasy leagues. And frankly — that's shocking.
He has all the tools, all the context, and all the upside you look for in a breakout QB. Yet he's flying under the radar.
Let's break down why McCarthy is shaping up to be one of the best values at quarterback in 2025.
📈 Justin Jefferson Proves the Ceiling Is Already There
Let's start with the obvious — Justin Jefferson.
Since 2021, Jefferson hasn't finished lower than WR5 in points per game, and he's done that with quarterbacks like Nick Mullens throwing him the ball.
If the consensus ranks Jefferson as the WR2 overall, why are we treating McCarthy — the guy throwing him the ball — like a fringe QB2?
Something doesn't add up.
🧠 The System Works — No Matter Who's Under Center
Let's talk about recent history. Here's what Vikings QBs have done in this same system:
Kirk Cousins
2020: 20.0 PPG
2021: 19.2 PPG
2022: 18.0 PPG
2023: 19.3 PPG
Sam Darnold (2024): 18.8 PPG (QB9 overall)
When both Cousins and Darnold can put up QB1 production, how can we not expect similar — or even better — results from a top-10 NFL Draft pick like McCarthy?
🧠 Coaching + Talent = Upside
Let's not overlook Kevin O'Connell, either.
He's quietly one of the best quarterback developers in the league. He turned Cousins into a weekly fantasy starter and got Sam Darnold to produce.
Now he gets a QB with a first-round pedigree, underrated mobility, and arguably the best WR room in the league.
🤑 Bottom Line: This Is a Buy
Elite offensive system ✅
Proven weapons (Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson) ✅
Undervalued ADP ✅
First-round draft capital ✅
McCarthy checks every box you want in a breakout QB.
He's going outside the top 15 QBs in drafts — and that's a mistake.
If you're waiting on QB in your draft, J.J. McCarthy might be the league-winner you're overlooking.
