Max Brosmer has emerged as the Vikings’ most active quarterback in August, logging the most preseason snaps of any Minnesota QB and keeping the door open on a 53-man roster spot or a practice squad bid. Through two preseason games, he’s shown poise, accuracy on the move, and the ability to lead a two-minute sequence, albeit with growing pains. The club is weighing whether to keep three quarterbacks on the active roster or roll with a more conventional QB group, making Brosmer a high-stakes development project for fantasy managers watching late-roster moves.

His two exhibition performances—47 yards and a TD on 5-of-8 in the fourth quarter vs. Houston, then 156 yards on 15-of-27 with an interception across two quarters vs. New England—underscore a roller-coaster arc: highlight throws, plus reads under pressure and a few missteps. O’Connell has praised his intelligence and work ethic, while Brosmer remains diligent, focused on what he can control and embracing every rep as a chance to prove he belongs at NFL speed.
