Jaren Hall Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall completed 16-of-27 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown in the team's 18-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the preseason finale on Saturday. Hall threw an interception and was sacked six times in this one, as the Vikings' depth players struggled to close out the preseason on a positive note. Hall has done enough to earn the role of QB3 behind Kirk Cousins and Nick Mullens this year, so the fifth-round pick out of BYU will be a depth piece for one of the league's most pass-heavy offenses. The rookie isn't on the fantasy radar for now, as a lot would need to unfold before he sees any meaningful playing time.

The Minnesota Vikings chose BYU quarterback Jaren Hall with the 164th overall pick in the NFL Draft. Hall represented the 12th player at his position to come off the board, signifying an NFL record for most quarterbacks taken in a single draft. A former baseball outfielder, Hall finally got an opportunity at BYU's starting gig in 2021 succeeding Zach Wilson as he joined the pros. Hall concluded his college career with 5704 passing yards and a 51-to-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio across 2021 and 2022. The undersized 25-year-old is a dual-threat signal-caller who is capable of improvising when protection breaks down. Perhaps worth considering in dynasty leagues, Hall will be hard-pressed to get on the fantasy radar in 2023 unless starting field general Kirk Cousins gets banged up. Cousins happens to be a free agent in 2024, further augmenting Hall's dynasty prospects on a Vikings squad with superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson to throw passes to.
