Cleveland Browns quarterback Nick Mullens will get his first start of the season in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Mullens was elevated from the practice squad by Cleveland earlier in the week after both Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum tested positive for COVID-19. The Raiders are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season but Mullens will be tough to trust in his first game for a Cleveland offense that will be without several key pass catchers including Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper. Look for the Browns to run the ball heavily and attempt as few passes a possible. Treat Mullens as a QB3 for Week 15.--Matt T - RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens got the start and played the first half in the team's second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. The seventh-year veteran completed 11 of his 21 attempts, accumulating 135 yards passing with one touchdown and no interceptions. Mullens looked sharp in his first two drives as he led his team to 10 first-quarter points, though he struggled with pressure as he took three sacks in the five full drives he played. With the Vikings placing rookie J.J. McCarthy (knee) on injured reserve after a meniscus repair, the team opted not to play Sam Darnold and instead worked out their backups. Mullens represents the incumbent as he had been with the team in the past two seasons and, unless traded, will likely be the QB2 for Minnesota.--Bruce Clark - RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens will start Saturday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. Despite a challenging 2023 season where he went 0-3 with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions as a starter, Mullens is now firmly positioned as the No. 2 quarterback. Following him on the depth chart is second-year pro Jaren Hall. Head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed confidence in Mullens due to his solid grasp of the offense. Mullens is known for his high-risk, high-reward style and had notable success during his time with the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Vikings. Though he tends to turn the ball over, with 31 career interceptions in just 20 starts, he also boasts 34 touchdown passes. Last season, after Kirk Cousins' injury, Mullens had mixed results in five games (three starts), with a respectable 8.8 yards per attempt but eight interceptions. Mullens is a veteran with the potential to deliver strong performances, particularly if he maintains his solid rapport with star receiver Justin Jefferson.--Martin Grisko - RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens put on a show in the Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday by going 30-for-44 for 396 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He was sacked four times for a loss of 37 yards and ran twice for eight yards. Mullens ended up being Minnesota's best option under center down the stretch after Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles, and the 28-year-old QB finished with a 67.57% completion percentage, 1,306 passing yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in five appearances (three starts). He had 300 yards and multiple touchdowns in all three of his starts, although turnovers were clearly an issue. With Cousins' future in doubt in Minnesota, Mullens' late-season performance could at least put him in consideration for the starting job in 2024 if the Vikes move on from Cousins this offseason.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens will make his third start over the last four weeks when he returns under center against the Detroit Lions in Week 18. Outside of Jaren Hall's ugly first half last week, Mullens has been Minnesota's go-to quarterback for the final four games of the regular season. He has a tendency to air the ball out and take risks, and while this has led to several turnovers, it also allows the Vikings to deliver big plays and score touchdowns. In Week 16 against the Lions, Mullens tossed two touchdowns and four interceptions, all while amassing 411 passing yards. From a fantasy perspective, the scores and yardage outweigh the poor ball security. The same could be true in this season-ending rematch with the Lions, whose defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2023. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable deploying him as a fringe QB1 option this week.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
