J.J. McCarthy and Darius Slayton are among UPI senior sports writer Alex Butler's fantasy football waiver wire priorities for Week 10 of the NFL season.
The scene of quarterback J.J. McCarthy being mobbed by his teammates after barging into the visitor’s locker room on Sunday afternoon at Detroit’s Ford Field perfectly encapsulates how the Vikings seem to feel about their young signal caller.
On the call for the Vikings-Lions game was a fellow Michigan alum Tom Brady, who was thoroughly impressed with the young quarterback’s performance. In the third quarter as Minnesota led 24-14, the seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback had nothing but positive things to say about McCarthy.
What’s your play call on third-and-5 from your own 28-yard line while protecting a late 27-24 lead at Detroit with a quarterback making his third career start? The Lions had one timeout remaining with 1:41 on the game clock when Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell sent in the play to McCarthy.
J.J. McCarthy kept his cool for the entirety of the Vikings' upset over the Lions before dropping an f-bomb when he spoke with Tom Brady.
McCarthy appeared to answer those questions Sunday in the Vikings’ upset 27–24 win over the Lions at Ford Field. In his third career start, McCarthy threw for 143 yards with two touchdowns and one interception on 14-of-25 passing—good for an 82.6 passer rating.
