Vikings reportedly have a QB gem in Max Brosmer, signaling a potential plan beyond Week 1. Brosmer’s presence gives Minnesota a QB floor in development and a possible future spark if Week 1 doesn’t go clean. His inclusion underscores depth at the position and a long-term strategy that could influence late-season call-ups and dynasty value.

Brosmer, undrafted and offseason learner, is the underdog to Wentz as backup. His offseason immersion may help practice, but his path to real playing time hinges on a McCarthy absence and injury luck. In redraft, his upside is limited; in dynasty, he’s a speculative long-term stash.

Brosmer impressed with mental acuity, learning the Vikings’ offense quickly and claiming a 53-man spot behind JJ McCarthy, with coaches highlighting his slow, steady ascent and his potential to contribute in a pinch thanks to his preparation and processing.

Brosmer injected life into Minnesota’s QB room with 15-of-23 for 169 yards and a TD in the final preseason. Although the Vikings’ roster moves included surprising shifts, his poised performance kept him squarely in the quarterback depth conversation.

Brosmer is highlighted as a co-Mano candidate behind McCarthy; strong preseason reports suggest development potential for 2025, adding insurance to the QB room and a possible late-blooming starter.
