2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brosmer, signed as an undrafted free agent, played five seasons at New Hampshire before transferring to Minnesota for his final season. The 24-year-old quarterback put together an adequate campaign, completing 66.5 percent of his passes for 2,828 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He doesn't offer much as a runner, and he'll look to prove himself in training camp and earn the No. 3 role behind J.J. McCarthy and Sam Howell. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a three-year, $2.98 million contract with the Vikings in April of 2025.
Drawing Week 17 starting assignment
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced that Brosmer will start at quarterback in Thursday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
O'Connell revealed that J.J. McCarthy has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture on his throwing hand after exiting this past Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants, and while the second-year quarterback hasn't been ruled out from returning for the Vikings' Week 18 game against the Packers, he won't be able to play through the injury on a short week. Brosmer came on in relief for an injured McCarthy in Week 16 and will be picking up his second start of the season Thursday. Through five total appearances on the season, the undrafted rookie out of Minnesota has completed 31 of 47 pass attempts for 220 yards (4.7 YPA), zero touchdowns and four interceptions while adding no positive rushing yardage. Even against an injury ravaged Detroit defense, Brosmer doesn't profile as much more than a desperation fantasy play in Week 17.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In Week 17 starting mix
Brosmer has a chance to start against the Lions in Week 17, as J.J. McCarthy exited the Week 16 win over the Giants after sustaining a hand injury.
ANALYSIS
Initial X-rays on McCarthy's hand injury came back negative, but he won't have much time to recover before the Vikings take on the Lions on Thursday. If McCarthy doesn't gain clearance to suit up in Week 17, Brosmer would likely be tabbed to make his second NFL start. Brosmer threw four interceptions without a touchdown in his first NFL start, which came against the stout Seahawks defense.
