Sean Mannion Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings are re-signing backup quarterback Sean Mannion to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Mannion won't have any fantasy appeal as he continues to hold the clipboard for Kirk Cousins. The 27-year-old (28 in April) played in parts of three games in 2019 and attempted only 21 passes, throwing two interceptions. The Vikes will desperately hope that Mannion isn't making starts for them in 2020.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sean Mannion was 12-for-21 passing for 126 yards and two interceptions in a 21-19 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 17. Mannion, making his second career start, wasn't asked to do much as the Vikings employed a run-heavy scheme with Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah. His two interceptions, subpar completion rate, and 6.0 yards per attempt predictably led to a terrible fantasy outing for the fifth-year quarterback out of Oregon State. Mannion will head back to the bench as Kirk Cousins resumes his post for next week's Wild Card game.

Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Sean Mannion will start in Week 17's finale versus the Chicago Bears at home. Mannion, a fifth-year career-backup type passer, doesn't offer much upside as a cheap option in daily fantasy formats. He has completed just 62.3% of his 53 career pass attempts at just 4.9 yards per attempt. To make matters worse, Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is out and many starters are expected to see minimal snaps as the Vikings have their playoff seed wrapped up. Mannion doesn't make much sense as a season-long or daily fantasy option in a less-than-favorable matchup and without a full-strength offense.
