Vikings Hunt for a Quarterback; Jacobs Gets a One-to-Three-Week Timeline

Minnesota is shopping for a quarterback after Carson Wentz's rough night. Wentz completed 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions in Monday's 23-6 loss to Buffalo, an 8.9 passer rating. Kevin O'Connell put it "100 percent on me" and said he should have run the ball more (NFL.com). Mike Garafolo reports the Vikings expected to be in the QB market before the deadline if Wentz struggled, and Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones are the names floating around (NBC Sports). Neither one looks easy to get: Tom Pelissero reported the Colts told Jones he won't be traded (CBS Sports), and the Raiders haven't shown interest in moving Cousins (NBC Sports). Kyler Murray is still dealing with his hamstring. Justin Jefferson caught 3 of 11 targets for 58 yards Monday, so he's a WR2 at best against Green Bay unless a real quarterback shows up by the 3 p.m. CT deadline. Don't sell him for pennies today. Just wait and see who's throwing to him.

Josh Jacobs should miss one to three weeks. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reports Jacobs will have surgery on his fractured finger this week and "is expected to miss a maximum of three weeks" (NBC Sports, Packers Wire). That's better than it sounded Monday afternoon, and he could be back before December. Hold him. Kaleb Johnson ran 14 times for 68 yards and a score in relief against New England, so he's the one to grab, but Minnesota's defense makes him a desperation flex in Week 10.

Jake Ferguson and Tyler Goodson will miss "multiple weeks." Brian Schottenheimer gave that timeline for both Cowboys on Monday. Ferguson has sprains of the PCL and MCL in his left knee, per ESPN's Todd Archer, and he's second on the team with four touchdown catches. Goodson has ACL and MCL sprains in his knee, per Archer, after playing through the injury Sunday for a career-high 77 yards on 12 carries (ESPN, PFT, RotoWire). Jerry Jones said the team plans to sign a free-agent back Tuesday. Luke Schoonmaker is expected back from his groin injury this week, but he's not a fantasy start. Javonte Williams keeps the backfield to himself for now, which is a small bump for him against San Francisco.
