Nick Mullens Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings acquired quarterback Nick Mullens from the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2024, according to sources. Mullens will now be competing with Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond for the backup job behind starter Kirk Cousins. With Mullens now out of the way in Las Vegas, Jarrett Stidham should be Derek Carr's unquestioned backup in 2022. Mullens, who originally went undrafted out of Southern Mississippi, spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Cleveland Browns in 2021. In 20 career games (17 starts), the 27-year-old signal-caller has completed 64.6 percent of his 630 attempts for 4,861 yards, 26 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.

Quarterback Nick Mullens has agreed to a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, per Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Mullens is set to battle Garrett Gilbert for backup duties behind Derek Carr, who threw for a career-best 4,804 yards last season. Mullens, an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss, spent last season with the Browns, where he made one start, his only appearance of the year. Previously, he spent three seasons with San Francisco, where he combined to throw for 4,714 yards and 25 touchdowns (with 22 interceptions) across 19 games (16 starts). Carr is the unquestioned QB1 for Vegas, although Mullens has proven adept at having DFS value on the occasions in which he steps in.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Nick Mullens completed 20 of 30 passes for 147 yards and one touchdown in a 16-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. Mullens played about as well as can be expected considering he was just elevated from the practice squad earlier in the week and was without several offensive starters including Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper. Despite all that, Mullens had his team in position to win after a six-yard touchdown pass to Harrison Bryant with 3:45 left in the game had Cleveland clinging to a one-point lead. The Browns will almost certainly get Baker Mayfield back from the reserve/COVID-19 list for their Week 16 game against the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day but Mullens made a case to be considered as the QB2 in Cleveland next season.
