Trade Analysis

Dynasty PPR 12 Teams Superflex/2QB ON TE Prem ON Package Adj. ON

Overall Assessment

Close, but no

It's close, but we like J.J. McCarthy more than Josh Downs so it's a no for us.

Keep in mind, while we wouldn't do this trade in a vacuum, if you have other good options at QB and have a big need at WR, then it might make sense to go through with it.

Giving Pros & Cons

J.J. McCarthy
qb • Vikings
27.2
Raw and inexperienced so there will continue to be growing pains even if he somehow saw more starts..
Kyler Murray likely to be the Vikings' starter in 2026.

Getting Pros & Cons

Josh Downs
wr • Colts
20.8
With Michael Pittman now on the Steelers, Downs might finally get the playing time he needs.
Only played 58% of snaps in 2025.
Pierce's breakout and Tyler Warren playing so well as a rookie hurt Downs in 2025.
