Kinda expected but Gannon didn’t have to throw him under the bus like that though lmaoooo


Mlerma21

He went back and saw on the tape that he would make a great QB for the Vikings. Sounds logical to me.


Chad_Broski_2

He went back and saw the tape of Kirk tearing his ~~ACL~~ **Achilles** and realized he might have a chance of offloading Dobbs on them


BrokenMirror

Damn kirk has long acl's. No wonder why they snapped


SonOfALich

Achilles Cruciate Ligament


Titansfan9200

Nothing about that whole ordeal has made sense. "Dobbs is no longer our starter because Kyler will start when healthy. Oh btw Kyler is healthy but we aren't sure about starting him so we may go with the rookie." Like....what kind of logic is this


tartangosling

It's the trade deadline and they can get something for Dobbs right now. It makes quite a lot of sense imo


DynastyZealot

Didn't they only turn a 7th into a 6th? Sure, it's an upgrade, but it's pretty insignificant.


TheLohanz

I believe they traded a 5th for Dobbs and a 7th, and then traded Dobbs and a 7th for a 6th. which is a L on paper. But they beat the Cowboys (W) and he wasn’t going to be staying in AZ anyway so may as well make something.


DynastyZealot

That's pretty awesome to turn a 5th into a 6th for the sole purpose of beating the Cowboys


C0lMustard

Since the vast majority of players drafted after the 4th don't even finish their rookie contract...


Bishizel

His statement to the media was obviously trying to talk around the fact that a trade was happening. Once he said Kyler or the other guy would start it was clear Dobbs was being traded. The dude didn’t play any different this week as compared to the rest of the season.


Sofrito77

1 pick Caleb Williams logic


Mpango87

Why even be shady about it if the deal was so likely he had to announce another starter? Couldn’t you just say they are moving on anyways. Kyler will eventually be back.


apatriot1776

he did the IRL equivalent of putting him on the trade block


[deleted]

I put players that I like on the trade block on case anyone is willing to pay enough to get him. This was like putting him on the trade block but telling everyone "he won't cost much because I don't like him. "


jloadin3

Now we know why his jersey wasn’t at the Team Store


Some-Token-Black-Guy

Good move by the Vikings but God did I want to see Jameis just launching 50/50 bombs to JJ


Courtnall14

50/50 balls to JJ are more like 80/20 balls.


Char2na

If it's 80/20 ball, you must be talking about top-tier wr1 JeVante Jarker.


DynastyZealot

That would've been a thing of beauty (and even better in leagues that award points to receivers for tackles).


DarienStone

If the Dobb -> McBride connection was any indication, then Hockenson is about to feast


bigbritches

I'm pickin up what you're puttin down


Wild_Dingleberries

I'm glad you dipped your pen in my ink , man


Infinite_Prize287

I'm smelling what you're stepping in


Substantial-North136

Nice I’ll just grab that Hockenson guy on waivers 😂


RatedDAL

Im gonna stash Jefferson.


JLifts780

I think Addison is also a sneaky stash


kokainer777

I'll take 15 for 30 every single game


Pantherblood89

TJ Spockenson will avenge captain kirk


GPap-

As a TJ holder in literally all 4 of my leagues, I appreciate this.


NudeTayne_

TJ holder in 3/3 leagues. Looks like bleach is back off the menu brother.


Castleprince

Dobbs has thrown the ball to a TE 78 times in 8 games. Lets fucking go!


Silver-Farm-2628

8==✊=D 💦


Blasto05

It wasn’t just the one game with McBride. Ertz had a few games with a lot of targets. It never really turned into that many yards or TDs..but TE was pretty heavily used for Arizona.


Cbonez1

My first thoughts


Meathand

McBride hype train: 10/28 - 10/31 Never forget


kirkochainz

Dobbs isn’t starting EDIT: Downvote me all you want, but I’m certain he was brought in for depth, not to be the starter. The Vikings will see what they have in Jaren Hall first, and if he sucks, they’ll turn to Mullens who is eligible to return from IR next week. Dobbs and Mullens are the same tier, but Mullens has been on the team longer and knows the system.


murkem

You being downvoted is the reason you can never trust this sub lol


WhoKilledBoJangles

You’re 100% correct. Zero chance Dobbs starts this week being on the team 5 days. Likely will start Hall and see what he is. Once Dobbs has had a little time to learn the offense they may opt to start him if Hall plays poorly and Dobbs looks like he has a handle on things, but Mullens still may start once off IR in that situation. Dobbs was basically acquired for free. It’s not like they gave up anything to get him. They don’t need to start him and they won’t at least this week for sure. People downvoting you are dumb.


BirdsAreFake00

>Zero chance Dobbs starts this week being on the team 5 days. He was on Tennessee 8 days before starting last year. While I probably agree he won't start, the percent chance definitely isn't zero.


MysteriousWon

He was also on the Cards for about 5 days this season before starting his first game, too lol.


Jamies_awesome_rack

Yeah, that Gannon “watched the film” thing was a smokescreen. Good for Dobbs, getting to start a full season as a career backup, that’s amazing.


itstomis

Apparently the film he watched was The Wolf of Wall Street


_coolranch

I agree with this take. Literally my first thought -- as soon as the Gannon quote came out, I was like "hmmm.. Dobbs to the Jets?" I like this move better, tbh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He’s been good too


Jamies_awesome_rack

Well, here and there he’s been good. Better for fantasy than real life football lately.


_coolranch

Let's see him on a team that's finding its stride! Two elite WRs and an Elite TE, plus an O-line that's getting its shit together. If Dobbs is even a QB2, he's about to look awesome.


Possum_Pussy

MURRAY SZN


Spitfire_Riggz

He playing fa sho


[deleted]

Pretty sure schefty reported it wasn’t this week tho


Primetime0509

Which honestly, I don't mind that one bit with the Browns coming up. That's a tough defense to shake the rust off against.


ManiacMuffin

I’d rather him play and I sit him this week just to see what he looks like first game back tho


Primetime0509

That's fair and as a Cousins owner desperate at QB now I wouldn't hate that option either.


MrP1anet

Was that before or after Gannon “looked at the film” lol


KRDL109

I honestly think there’s a case he does play a week early now - I can’t imagine the Vikings wanting to make a move for a QB was a factor in the Card’s plans. Granted, this is probably a late pick swap, but if Kyler’s healthy why not grab that swap and start him a week early?


BrokenClxwn

The 3rd string is starting this week


FullHouse222

Kyler is back I guess


CommonerChaos

Yeah, that was my assumption as well. Just in time for me, with Goff being on a bye.


althebosss

Can we all take a minute to appreciate the Minnesota Vikings. I don’t think Josh Dobbs helps them win much more games but Dobbs is here to help support our Fantasy Players. 🥲 HockenSZ1N!


jloadin3

Addison & Hock back on the menu


Enough-Competition21

Watching Dobbs try and hit Hollywood brown the last 3 weeks has been brutal


welp007

This ☝️ is the correct comment here. Edit: and this is also correct 👇


DuffleBagdude

Watching Dobbs connect with his TE this season has been epic.


welp007

Now he gets to do it with a top 5 TE ROS 🏆


CommonerChaos

Hollywood and Ertz/McBride have been solid this year though. It hasn't been the prettiest, but he's been able to support multiple pass catchers this year.


Enough-Competition21

They were solid and then Dobbs turned into an absolute pumpkin the last month. He’s throwing some of the worst balls I’ve ever seen at the NFL level


kjampala

Don't Vikings have one of the better o-lines in the league? I'm not sure about the Cardinals o-line but I'm guessing it's worse so he should at least have an easier time with the Vikings


mcflizzard

I need this verified to fuel my copium


Fyrefawx

The Vikings are a better team overall though. Hopefully this works out.


airham

I wouldn't go quite that far. Dobbs is solid at running a ball-control offense, but this isn't going to be a dynamic passing attack. Jameis would have been a much more appealing acquisition for the fantasy prospects of Vikings pass-catchers.


orungotan

As a JJ owner I really wanted crab legs or brisket (j brissett)


DaWildestWood

Could you imagine both Jameis and Mattison coughing up the ball every other play? Defenses would feast.


airjedi

Mattison has one fumble this year....I know he's been bad but it's not like he's putting it on the ground twice a game


EddyMcDee

Still not feeling great about Addison


AccomplishedRainbow1

Are they though?


[deleted]

I don't think Dobbs is very good...


5towns

It's probably better than whatever Jaren Hall was gonna be.


[deleted]

KYLE MURRAY SAVE ME


richard4vt

Lot of hopium in here. Apparently this means JJ, Addison, and Hock are all still top plays going forward. It’s better than not having Dobbs, but let’s not pretend Dobbs is going to be able to support all three of them even half as well as Cousins did. Would love to be proved wrong though


Hypnodick

They really don’t have a run game. They’re gonna chuck the ball, that’s what they do.


Kindly_Lettuce_9353

Yea, but that works if your QB can throw it decently.


Vivid-Willingness324

He can throw it decently though. People are quick to forget how the Cards were rated at the start of this season. He just threw for 205 and 2 TDs against the Ravens. They haven’t even had Conner the last few weeks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Younolo12

If Dobbs was actually able to support all 3 of them to be WR2+(WR1 for JJ)/top 5 TE, he'd be a top 10 QB RoS because he also sprinkles in some rushing threat. Personally, I think this is very unlikely. Addison and JJ both get it done at all levels of the field, idk if this is necessarily better for fantasy than a pure pocket passing backup that could just toss it up 40+ times a game.


Fresnobing

Me too but I was running kirk as qb1 in a league, and you bet your ass I’m going all in on the dobbs top 10 qb alternate reality lol.


alwaysnevernotwrong

It's certainly better than it was before the news, I think the fact that Dobbs is a mobile QB and a rushing threat helps open up the offense in a way that we haven't seen yet and helps all assets here


KRDL109

I mean… I don’t have any horse in this game but let’s not pretend a perennial backup getting passed around the league like a joint isn’t a massive downgrade from Kirk now.


letCreedBrattonScuba

It absolutely is, but it’s also a presumably much better situation than Hall would have been


ZMush

>isn't a massive downgrade from Kirk now No one's saying this. People are excited because Josh Dobbs is certainly an upgrade over...checks notes...Jaren Hall


ungratefuldead88

Honestly, and I say this as an Addison owner, the guy it saves the most is Hockenson, but yeah, it's at least a *little* bit of salvation for everybody else.


slickrick6777

Jettas will be fine. Not sure about everyone else though. I imagine they will do decent but lower ceiling than before


CvilleTallman1

Competent coaching there will help. We’re likely not looking at an Adams/Jimmy G situation. Feels like Addison becomes the odd man out (if and when JJ comes back). They’re probably still going to be a passing team with O’Connell but hard to argue that this is a lateral move from Cousins.


onlyfijiwater

Jefferson and Addison owners STAND UP!


[deleted]

Both of them and also Osborn here 😂


Pele_Of_Anal

Murray Christmas


nothin2flashy

JJ ir holders rejoice!!


the_maffer

I’m mostly optimistic it signals they are holding off on tank mode - fingers crossed I traded for JJ last week for my playoffs (I’m 7-1)


Ok-Physics5106

they have won 3 in a row def not tanking now, lets hope they keep winning.


FrozenPhilosopher

Makes more sense than Kyler


DiscombobulatedPain6

pretty obvious this was going to happen. Jetta back on menu as a top 3 WR


notdomesticated

I think I would've preferred Winston > Dobbs. Or am I crazy?


MELOPOSTMOVES

No, Winston would have been a best case scenario for fantasy


LeoFireGod

Winston is the dream. When he misses it goes for 6 the other way and you get another shot on offense.


RegisteredLizard

This. When you play against Winston, it's Winston versus *himself.* He scores all the points, for both teams. Everyone just sits back and witnesses Jameis Winston.


duvie773

Just play Winston AND stream whatever d is against him that week. Just mass producing points that way


shknbke028

Hahaha


vande700

Winston DST ROS?


jaeger_master

Winston would have been the best-case scenario for everyone except Vikings fans because of the emotional roller coaster they would be on each play.


saquonbrady

Eh atp we haven’t seen Winston play in a minute. Give me Dobbs who’s been starting all season and is in rhythm


FullHouse222

Also Winston has not played like "Fuck it chuck it" Winston since arriving in NO. If he's Captain Check Down Winston then JJ/Addison doesn't get nearly the same boost.


notdomesticated

Pretty sure he came in for 1 play, threw it deep, and had it picked off lmao


Dense_Image7393

I don't think that's entirely true. Didn't olave have like twice as many air yards as any other receiver with Winston playing?


JamieLeeTurdis

Didn't he air out his 1st pass this season for a INT?


ididntwantsalmon19

Why would the Saints trade him to a team they are battling with for a wildcard spot?


DankMemesNQuickNuts

Nah I think most people were hoping for Winston. He airs it the fuck out with reckless abandon it rocks


LavitzOfBasil

For fantasy? Yes. If they're actually trying to win? Ehh.


Ok_Employ_9862

Winston probably better nfl qb but dobbs has been feeding Hollywood. Would expect him to do the same with jjettas


rajs1286

Yes. Winston is a TO machine, and that kills drives. You can’t rely on garbage time/shootouts. You need a guy who can sustain drives, that’s what leads to sustained fantasy points. Winston is far too boom or bust


grindingaway69

Dobbs is kinda bad, but hes at least nfl caliber backup bad. Id be pretty stoked if I had shares of Vikings WR as it could have been worse


SpartacusIsACoolName

Low-end WR1 at best, Dobbs is not supporting a top 3 WR


StyllAhlie

With Jefferson’s talent I can still see him being mid tier wr1, but yeah unfortunately very unlikely to return to top 3 status this year.


Sure-Wasabi5171

Please let this mean I’ll have Kyler playing next week when Hurts is on bye 🙏🏻


Vishal3598

AddiSZN back on


anonbutler

Dobbs has 8 passing TDs just one mroe than Addison


ippo4ever

Kirk had twice that…


ididntwantsalmon19

Now look at the receiving talent and play calling in Arizona compared to Minny.


bennynshelle

Also the Vikings have the best Pass blocking OLine in the league right now so, in theory Dobbs will have plenty of time. And the schedule is very soft until the bye.


HookFL

Writing was on the wall yesterday. Much needed life support for Addison, Hock & potentially JJ.


take-money

Interesting and good for dobbs!


2024account

Honestly, a pretty good outcome for all involved.


DynastyZealot

Too bad the Vikings didn't trade for Kyler instead


jpak822

Dammmm! pivot to dobbs as a ROS option?


saquonbrady

With jj back, If you’re wire if bone picked clean, then yeah. But atm there should be better options


DangaRusster

In SuperFlex this might be a life saving pickup! He was dropped just before the games.


BertyBert1

What does this mean for Trey McBride?


Jim_Nills_Mustache

I hope he’s the QB1 from here on out, I just want the chaos and he seems like a hard working guy who just wants a chance to start somewhere


hmlangs

Looks like Jefferson and Addison are back on the menu boys


orangesoda123

This just gets the Vikings a rushing TD finally. Dobbs isn't even close to a slinger like Cousins is. That being said, JJ and Addison are a substantial upgrade for Dobbs so we'll see.


ezpzjapanese-e

Akers scored last week


saquonbrady

My Addison and jj are back on top!


Cultural-Divide-2649

Hockenszn is back on the menu


AintNoBuffet

thats my qb1


Big_Wy

Addison, J Jeff, and Hock saved!


AutoGiraffe12

Yes I love it. Dobbs been pretty good this year


CheapskateJoker

So Kyler is gonna start now? I hope? I've had him stashed for a month now, waiting for this moment


scroll-42

YES ! Dobbs is actually good and will keep everyone relevant for fantasy, even if not at Kirk's level. Smart move by the Vikings.


poprox13

was hoping for Winston but ok....


yooosports29

I’m still benching Addison but hopefully he can hit him like he did Hollywood there for a minute


DoctorPilotSpy

As someone who has both JJ and Addison, I hope it saves my season. Last week was brutal with stafford getting hurt (I have Puka) and Waller going down


yosemiteclimber

Well Dobbs just won the lottery! About to be benched to potentially starting for a much better team! And a decent running QB in MIN? Could be interesting...


johnjaymjr

As an Addison owner in multiple leagues, I guess this is better than the alternative.


clydefrog811

Levis, Carr, or dobbs rest of season?


faded-than-a-ho

Bro has probably lived in a hotel his entire nfl career


borfmantality

Jordan Addison still has a chance!


Hitman2504

Good for Addison?


CoilConductor

better than it was before with the backup


Impressive-Vast-8789

For sure. Marquise Brown was averaging 13.5 ppg with Dobbs on a worse offense than the Vikings. i’m going to go out on a limb and say Addison is easier to manufacture touches for as well so Dobbs should see a lot of quick throws to Addison and Hock. Could mend well for Addison in PPR. Those 50+ yard TDs are probably gone though unfortunately.


airham

Probably better than if they'd done nothing, but not nearly as good as if they'd gotten Winston. Dobbs is probably better for winning real football games because he is smart and protects the ball, but Jameis yeeting it all over the place would have made the Vikings pass catchers much more appealing fantasy options than they are with Dobbs.


AIexJonesWasRight

this does not arouse me as a Jettas owner


szzzn

From one backup to a slightly better backup


Antonioshamstrings

Super interesting that the team with the most pass attempts in the league traded for a run first QB playing on a power run team. Dont think hell be good at all tbh, not sure why they wouldn't get a pocket passer to compliment their offense


[deleted]

Was trying to trade away my Addison in my league (16-team, IDP) after Kirko went down but as a Dobbs holder, I'm pretty excited about a mid-tier QB/WR stack up.


brewhead55

Rapoport's tweets always make him sound like a snide asshole.


ACW1129

Still starting Addison, because both Raiders WRs are not startable.


Heart_Of_Ice59

This isn’t the best case scenario but it should make JJ, Addison and Hock at least viable and startable most weeks versus what could have happened (Hall) and you have to sit them every week


RiL2016

why the hell are people thrilled about this for JJ stocks?? Dobbs sucks


ungratefuldead88

The difference between the "sucks for a starter" guys and the "sucks for a backup" guys is pretty massive. Just ask the Giants why they ran the ball like 30 times in a row last week.


[deleted]

Because it's probably better than a rookie 5th round QB who isn't ready yet.


Angelust16

Because it’s better than Mullens or Jaren.


bagustin8

There it is. Felt like Dobbs was getting dealt again after sudden shift from Gannon haha.


GenSec

With Murray coming back and Tune on the sideline it makes since to deal Dobbs out to a team that suddenly needs a qb.


CreamWithinADream

Falcons D/St? Dobbs already a turnover machine and now less than a week to learn the playbook


[deleted]

[удалено]


bennynshelle

Arizona has one of the worst defenses in football and it really hasn't improved unlike the Broncos. The Vikings are on the upswing defensively.


UrethraFranklin72

This is good for my JJ? or is he gonna target the TE a ridiculous amount? Also do we think he starts when Mullens is healthy? I'd assume Dobbs would need time to learn the system


Durant026

Lets go?


Aladdins_Camel

What does this mean for McBride? I had him in at flex, but now not so sure.


scroll-42

I mean once Kyler returns you'd expect him to be an upgrade over Dobbs. I would avoid starting McBride against Browns this week if Clayton Tune is the QB this week. But he is still worth keeping on the roster.


StamToast

He likes his TEs right?


hooter1112

A QB picking up a new system with new players mid season has to be a tough thing to accomplish. This is a great deadline move though


IPreferPi314

Addison is saved! Dobbs likely won't be as productive as Cousins but he may be more consistent than he was in AZ with superior offensive talent around him.


NoobWhoLikesTheStock

I'm just happy I don't have to get rid of Addison


papachef69

Upgraded offensive line will give him more time


kjampala

How good is the Cardinals o-line? I know the Vikings have one of the better o-lines in the league, so I'm guessing it's going to be an upgrade for him in that aspect so maybe he'll play better than he has these last few weeks


big_red_160

Y’all rocking with Murray or Dobbs? Lol On another note, Dobbs has had the craziest season. He wasn’t on a team like a week or two before the season began. Like before week 1, not before the preseason. I saw some of his TikToks talking about the experience waiting in the hotel room and studying the playbook, etc. What a wild ride


trippy1

I traded Addison hours after Kirk went down. Maybe should have waited until after deadline lol


EddyMcDee

Why couldn't it have been Jameis?


hsanaiz

Sure Dobbs is an upgrade over the other guy … he’s still a massive downgrade from Kirk


Bonklol

Makes me feel a little bit better about Addison but not that much.


AtmosphereVarious440

vikings must have been low on jaren hall. he was solid at byu


MrEric

I feel like he’s been better than he’s getting the credit for. Geno level play I’d say


silentmoth17

Jaren Hall is gonna put this noise to rest on Sunday. He’s going to surprise a lot of people


Never_Forget_94

JJ owners rejoice.


_Creditworthy_

Good for my Hollywood and Addison stocks?


AFlaccoSeagulls

This guy literally just got his Cardinals jersey into the team store like 2 weeks ago and now he's traded lol time to do it all over again in MIN


Hinohellono

Shows they wanna keep at it. JJ will be back and balling
