Myles Garrett's health decision looms over the Browns in London as Cleveland leans on rookie Dillon Gabriel. Garrett's presence powers the league's top end rush, and a limited performance could sap the Browns defense's fantasy upside while inviting Minnesota to test the interior on the road.

Minnesota arrives with travel advantages and a reshuffled line for Cleveland, where Donovan Jackson is out and Brian O Neill is banged up. If Garrett is limited, the Vikings' offense tightens its window of opportunity, while Browns defenders like Maliek Collins and Isaiah McGuire must compensate. Travel, rookie QB start, and injuries tilt this one toward careful fantasy play on both sides.

McCarthy's NFL debut sparked Minnesota's dramatic 27-24 comeback win in Chicago. After a slow start, the 22-year-old rookie rewired the offense in the second half, finishing 13 of 20 for 143 yards and accounting for three touchdowns in the fourth quarter—an unprecedented feat for a debuting QB. His leadership on the sideline and conviction during the rally energized the Vikings, who leaned on a stout defense and Jordan Mason’s late push on the ground.

Javon Hargrave recalled McCarthy telling the team, “he's got us,” at halftime, a moment echoed by Kevin O’Connell’s praise of the “unbelievable look” in his eyes. Jefferson connected on a late TD pass, and McCarthy capped the night with a 14-yard scoring run, proving Minnesota’s faith in him may be justified moving forward.
