The Minnesota Vikings are having a QB battle between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy to determine their starter for the 2026 NFL season. Last season, Mayfield earned a 70.0 overall PFF grade after recording 3,693 passing yards and 26 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. “I’m not ready to give up on J.J. McCarthy,“ Schefter said on the July 20 edition of “Get Up.” But at some point, Tom, I think we’re going to hear something from J.J. McCarthy again. Last season with the Vikings, McCarthy had 310 pass snaps, leading to a 61.8 overall PFF grade.
