Quarterback Rank: #70
Overall: #406
Frerotte found his way back in the starting lineup last season with the Vikings. He played pretty well in a starting role, completing 59 percent of his passes with 13 total touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He did a good job of pushing the ball downfield in the Vikings offense. But Frerotte played like he did past seasons, playing erratic football. He tends to make bad decisions and turning the ball over often. Frerotte still has a plus arm, but probably remains best suited to backup rather than start. Frerotte will struggle with accuracy, but does a good job of pushing the ball downfield and completing passes in tight spaces. He can be a capable backup and spot starter.

An above-average NFL backup, but he proved last season he isn't much of a fantasy season when pushed into a starting role. |
