Why It Matters: There was a lot to like about McCarthy in Week 10 from a fantasy perspective as he established season highs in both passing and rushing yardage. That dual-threat ability is what made him a more palatable fantasy quarterback than an NFL one in Minnesota, and we got our first real taste of it with the G-Men here. Besides consistent running, the other missing ingredient for McCarthy right now is touchdowns. He threw one in relief against the Saints and now has one total in three starts. Despite that, he still
offers enough upside to own as a QB2.
