Vikings Going With Jaren Hall At Quarterback In Week 17

Vikings Going With Jaren Hall At Quarterback In Week 17

11 months ago

The Minnesota Vikings are making another change at quarterback and will start rookie Jaren Hall on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. It's a bit of a curious move with veteran Nick Mullens throwing for 714 yards and four touchdowns in the last two games, although he did have a costly six interceptions as well. The Vikings' playoff hopes will be on the line in a primetime division-rivalry game, and it will give the team another chance to evaluate the rookie from BYU before the 2023 campaign is up. The 25-year-old was hurt shortly after making his first NFL start in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. The fifth-round pick has completed eight of his 10 passes for 101 yards without a touchdown or interception in two games played. The matchup is a good one, but Hall is nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 in superflex leagues this weekend.
