Nick Mullens Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens completed 13-of-23 passes for 151 yards in the 24-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the team's second preseason game on Saturday. This was his second appearance in the preseason, as he completed 14-of-20 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown in the opener last week against the Seattle Seahawks. The 28-year-old looks to have solidified himself as the Vikings' QB2 option behind their starter Kirk Cousins, with 2023 fifth-round pick Jaren Hall as the third quarterback. Mullens would need Cousins to miss time to have any fantasy relevance, which means fantasy managers can keep him off their radar for now.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been pulled from Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The Vikings have already clinched the NFC North title, and with a two-score lead over the Bears, Minnesota will play things safe by resting its starting quarterback. He finishes with 17 completions, 225 yards, and one touchdown in Week 18. With Cousins done for the day, Nick Mullens entered the game under center and should play the remainder of the contest.

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.
