Will be cut or traded
Keenum likely will be traded or released after the Broncos agreed to acquire fellow quarterback Joe Flacco, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: The Broncos would love to find a trade partner even if the compensation is menial, as they'll have to pay the guaranteed portion ($7 million) of Keenum's $18 million base salary if they end up cutting him. He'd need to accept a pay cut -- an unlikely proposition -- to have any chance at staying in Denver. Keenum collected $18 million from the Broncos in 2018, completing 62.3 percent of his passes for 6.6 yards per attempt with an 18:15 TD:INT as a 16-game starter in an injury-laden offense. He…read more

Likely done as starter in Denver
The Broncos' impending trade for Joe Flacco likely marks the end of Keenum's tenure as the starting quarterback in Denver, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Signed to a two-year, $36 million contract last offseason, Keenum failed to replicate his Minnesota magic from 2017, completing 62.3 percent of his passes for 6.6 yards per attempt with an 18:15 TD:INT as a 16-game starter for the Broncos. The team can free up $11 million in cap space if Keenum is removed from the roster, while any team that trades for him would inherit an $18 million base salary that includes $7 million guaranteed, per OverTheCap.com. The significant commitment limits his…read more

Viewed as temporary solution
Broncos general manager John Elway recently described Keenum as "probably a short-term fix," Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Post reports. "Obviously, we've got to - Case is probably a short-term fix - find the long-term guy for us," Elway said. "When we do find that guy, we've got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there."
Analysis: Elway seems to have abandoned any hope of Keenum being the franchise quarterback, but that doesn't mean the 30-year-old won't return for the second season of his two-year, $36 million contract. Keenum was at least competent in 2018, completing 62.3 percent of his passes for 6.6 yards per attempt with 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. It was a big step back from his breakout 2017 campaign in Minnesota, though he did keep the Broncos in the playoff hunt until they closed out their campaign with…read more

Mediocre in first year in Denver
Keenum finished the 2018 campaign with 365 completions on 586 attempts (62.3 percent) for 3,890 yards, 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He added 93 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries and lost one fumble.
Analysis: After earning a two-year, $36 million deal from Denver following a strong showing with Minnesota in 2017, Keenum failed to produce as efficiently with the Broncos as he had a year prior. Some peculiar play calling and injuries to key players certainly did help Keenum, particularly over the final quarter of the season. With top wideout Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) headed for free agency this offseason, Keenum may be throwing to a slew of young targets again to begin 2019, barring the team…read more

Totals 300 yards in loss
Keenum completed 31 of 48 passing attempts for 292 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Chargers. He also rushed three times for eight yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Keenum's second-quarter "fumble" was actually a backward pass he threw after he had stepped up to scramble but changed his mind and tossed to Royce Freeman, who could not handle the low throw. The Chargers would scoop up the loose ball and return it for the game's first score. After that, the Broncos could muster only a field goal until the final period, when the 30-year-old would find Andy Janovich for a wide-open 20-yard touchdown. The Houston product finishes his first season in Denver…read more

Mixed bag in road loss
Keenum completed 23 of 37 passes for 202 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Broncos' 27-14 loss to the Raiders on Monday. He also rushed three times for 19 yards and fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Keenum produced mixed results in the Christmas Eve loss, hitting DaeSean Hamilton and Courtland Sutton for touchdowns of seven and 19 yards, respectively, in the second half. However, Keenum also threw interceptions on back-to-back fourth-quarter drives, short-circuiting any chance at a Broncos comeback. It was a second straight two-interception outing for the six-year veteran, who's finishing his first Denver season with a short-handed receiving corps. He'll look to put together a better…read more

Picked off twice in loss to Browns
Keenum completed 31 of 48 attempts for 257 yards, committing two interceptions but adding a one-yard rushing touchdown during Saturday's 17-16 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: Keenum has been brutal down the stretch, as he now carries a streak of eight consecutive starts with fewer than 16 fantasy points in standard scoring (worst active streak among NFL quarterbacks, 12.6 PPG over that span). The veteran signal caller did exceed 205 passing yards for the first time since Week 9, but two interceptions substantially diminished an already less-than-stellar output, while he failed to pass for more than one touchdown for the third straight outing. (He only one…read more

Struggles downfield in loss
Keenum completed 24 of 42 passes for 186 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Broncos' 20-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also gained 24 yards on four rushes.
Analysis: Keenum averaged just 4.4 yards per attempt and was under 200 passing yards for the third straight game. While he extended his interception-less streak to five contests, he also failed to complete 60 percent of his passes for the fourth consecutive game. Keenum was playing his first game without Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles), but the Denver passing attack as a whole has been a low-upside proposition for several weeks. Keenum will look to bolster his numbers versus the Browns in a Week 15 Saturday…read more

So-so in win
Keenum completed 12 of 21 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bengals. He added nine yards on two carries.
Analysis: With the wind howling in Cincinnati, the Broncos leaned on the run game. That's been Denver's recipe for success during its three-game winning streak. Keenum is completing just 56.7 percent of his passes -- doubtlessly aided by some drops -- and averaging 185 yards per game during the winning streak as the Broncos have won with defense, a gashing run game, and a careful and efficient Keenum. Sunday's game was against a bottom-10 Bengals defense based on opponent passer rating, and next Sunday's…read more

Effective in Week 12 win
Keenum completed 15 of 28 attempts for 197 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 24-17 win against Pittsburgh.
Analysis: The wily veteran picked apart a typically stellar Steelers pass defense, piecing together multiple passing touchdowns and zero interceptions for the first time since Dec. 17 of last season. Keenum hasn't been particularly effective in pushing the ball downfield this year (7.2 yards per attempt), but at least he's cleaned up his act in the turnovers department of late, with zero interceptions or fumbles lost over his past three outings, after committing 11 total turnovers through the first eight…read more

Throws for 205 yards
Keenum completed 19 of 32 pass attempts for 205 yards during Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Keenum averaged just 6.4 yards per attempt while posting his third-lowest yardage total of the season. He did go without turning the ball over for the second straight game, allowing the rushing attack and the defense to grind out a hard-fought away win. Keenum has come up with some big performances this season, but they have been few and far between for the most part. The Steelers could force him to throw early and often next week, and he'll look to bounce back with a more productive showing.

Keeps slinging it against Texans
Keenum put up 42 pass attempts, completing 26 for 290 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Houston.
Analysis: The wily veteran was once again calm under pressure, leading the Broncos downfield on a 14-play, 53-yard drive in the final three minutes to set up Brandon McManus with a potential game-winning 51-yard attempt (ultimately, he pushed it wide right). Keenum has been highly prone to the interception in 2018, throwing 10 compared to seven all of last year, with six fumbles put on the turf this season (just one in 2017). His QBR has dipped from 74.3 in his lone season as a Viking to 43.6 in his…read more

Has uneven performance in loss
Keenum completed 23 of 34 passes for 262 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 30-23 loss in Kansas City. He added nine yards on the ground and lost a fumble.
Analysis: The Broncos were reeling late in the first half following 16 unanswered points by the Chiefs, but Keenum marched Denver 75 yards in 49 seconds, capping the drive with a 24-yard loft to Tim Patrick. The drive represented Keenum at his best while two second-half turnovers at midfield, including an interception on an underthrown flea-flicker pass, showed him at his worst. Keenum now has 10 interceptions this season, three more than he recorded all of last season. Despite making several big plays…read more

Efficient in Week 7 win
Keenum completed 14 of 21 passes for 161 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Broncos' 45-10 win over the Cardinals on Thursday. He also rushed four times for four yards.
Analysis: Keenum was spotted an early 7-0 lead courtesy of a Todd Davis pick-six, which was followed up by a 28-yard touchdown throw from Emmanuel Sanders to Courtland Sutton on a trick play later in the first quarter. A second defensive touchdown then gave Keenum a 21-0 cushion before the second quarter even started. Once Keenum hit Sanders with a touchdown pass from 64 yards out early in that period, the contest was essentially decided. The performance didn't really serve to answer some of the…read more

Gets vote of confidence
Broncos coach Vance Joseph said Sunday after the team's 23-20 loss to the Rams that Keenum will remain Denver's starter Week 7 against the Cardinals, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports. "Case is our quarterback," Joseph said.
Analysis: After exiting late in the first half with a head injury, Keenum was cleared of a concussion and was back under center to begin the third quarter. Keenum rebounded from a rough first half to engineer three scoring drives and finish with his third 300-plus-yard passing game of the season, but his efforts weren't enough to prevent Denver from dropping its fourth straight contest. While Keenum's 7.2 yards per attempt and 63.1 percent completion rate on the campaign are acceptable marks, he's…read more

Throws for two scores in loss
Keenum completed 25 of 41 pass attempts for 322 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams. He also carried the ball once for six yards.
Analysis: Keenum had managed only a field-goal drive until 1:34 remained in the third quarter when he hit Emmanuel Sanders from 22 yards out. Having only thrown for 137 yards at the half, the 30-year-old quarterback missed a play while getting checked for a concussion. When he returned, he again relied on a big deficit to rack up stats and almost made a game out of the affair. He'll try to go a third straight contest with at least 320 passing yards and two touchdowns Week 7 at Arizona.

Produces in garbage time
Keenum completed 35 of 51 passes for 377 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 34-16 loss at the Jets.
Analysis: Sunday's stats are a little misleading. Following an early Jets turnover, Keenum connected with rookie Courtland Sutton for an opening touchdown in the back of the end zone. He was relatively quiet until the end of the game with the Jets up by multiple scores and playing soft coverage. Head coach Vance Joseph has bemoaned how Denver is built to run the ball and play defense in close games. Having Keenum throw the ball 51 times is not Denver's winning formula. The misfortune is likely to…read more

No touchdowns in defeat
Keenum completed 21 of 33 passes for 245 yards and an interception in Monday night's 27-23 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Keenum managed the game fairly well, but frustratingly finished with zero touchdown passes and one interception for the third straight week. Even more agonizing for him, he narrowly missed a wide-open Demaryius Thomas for what would've been the game-winning touchdown with under 30 seconds remaining. Stuck in a bit of a rut, Keenum will now be tasked with breaking his touchdown drought at the Jets in Week 5.

Donning knee brace in practice
Keenum donned a knee brace during Thursday's practice, but was listed as a full participant on the team's injury report, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com. "Case came out of the [Week 3] game fairly healthy," coach Vance Joseph said of the quarterback. "He had no swelling, he has no issues. He should obviously feel better this week."
Analysis: Keenum experience some knee soreness coming out of the Week 2 win over the Raiders, resulting in him getting practice off last Wednesday before returning to the field the following two days. The fact that he logged a full session for the Broncos' first practice of the current week seemingly supports Joseph's comments about Keenum's health outlook taking a turn for the better. With any lingering soreness or swelling having subsided, Keenum should be poised to turn in a bounce-back performance…read more

Sees magic run out
Keenum went for 22 of 34 for 192 passing yards and an interception during Sunday's 27-14 loss in Baltimore.
Analysis: With the Broncos knocking on the Ravens' door midway through the fourth quarter, Denver's faithful could have felt another comeback for Keenum. Instead, he threw off his back foot and gave up a drive-killing interception. Keenum has made a habit of starting slow and depending on moxie to make up for it late. It was too little too late on Sunday, as Baltimore's front knocked him off-kilter. He'll get an easier assignment next Monday night against a porous Kansas City defense, and with the way…read more

Good to go
Keenum (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.
Analysis: Keenum's availability for this weekend's game against the Ravens is in no peril and he'll look to bounce back from a subpar fantasy outing in Week 2, in which he completed 19 of 35 pass attempts for 222 yards and an interception in a 20-19 win over Oakland. He'll be taking aim Sunday at a Baltimore defense that embarrassed the Bills in a 47-3 triumph in Week 1, then turned around surrendered four passing TDs to the Bengals in a 34-23 loss this past Sunday.

Rushes for touchdown in comeback win
Keenum completed 19 of 35 pass attempts for 222 yards and an interception in Sunday's 20-19 win over Oakland. He added 16 yards and a touchdown on three carries.
Analysis: Keenum was just 5-for-11 for 38 yards, three first downs, and zero scoring drives in the first half. He started with three three-and-outs in the first quarter and followed that up with an interception to start the second. However, the 30-year-old regrouped at the break and led scoring drives on all four second-half possessions, concluding the comeback win with his own rushing score and Brandon McManus' game-winning field goal with just six seconds left. While the seventh-year pro will certainly…read more

Uneven performance against Seattle
Keenum completed 25 of 39 pass attempts for 329 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Keenum was shaky with the ball, but obviously fantasy owners like three scoring strikes. The veteran quarterback primarily focused on his top two wideouts, Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, who combined to catch 16 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns. He wasn't able to get much going in the preseason, so despite the three turnovers Sunday, it's encouraging that he was able to move the ball well and generate nearly 30 points. In Week 2, Keenum will face the Raiders at home.

Looks ready for Week 1
Keenum completed 12 of 18 passes for 148 yards in Friday's preseason game against Washington.
Analysis: Keenum played the entire first half and led the Broncos to 17 points on five drives. He was accurate throwing to all areas of the field, including a 33-yard gain on a deep ball to Emmanuel Sanders and a 27-yard gain on a back-shoulder throw to Courtland Sutton. Assuming he's held out for the final week of the exhibition slate, Keenum will finish the preseason 21-of-35 passing (60 percent) for 231 yards without any touchdowns or turnovers.

Takes step forward
Keenum completed eight of 13 passes for 78 yards and a two-point conversion during Saturday's 24-23 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Keenum led Denver's offense to a touchdown and a field goal during his three drives of work, the latter two going for 21 total snaps. There is likely a throw or two that Keenum would like to have back, particularly a missed pass into the end zone to Emmanuel Sanders that forced Denver to settle for a field goal, but the game was an overall improvement for Keenum. If he's able to build on this performance in his third and likely final preseason game, he may be primed to best last season's career…read more

Analysis: Several reporters have noted the reduction in balls hitting the turf to start this training camp as compared to those in recent years. Keenum's strengths are his quickness and accuracy, which play into what should be a horizontal Denver offense this season.

Could see boost in new offense
Keenum's completion percentage could notice a boost within offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave's scheme, which features quick, short throws, Tyler Polumbus of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Polumbus traced some of Musgrave's past stops to predict that this year's Broncos offense is likely to resemble former head coach Gary Kubiak's West Coast attack, albeit more simplified and sped up similar to how Chip Kelly ran things with Musgrave on staff in Philadelphia in 2014. This should be welcome news for Keenum, who got his start in the NFL with the Texans under Kubiak.

Analysis: Unlike last offseason, the Broncos are committing to an established starter -- Keenum -- which makes offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave a happy coach. "Case is working hard," Musgrave said. "It's a new system for him, it's a new system for everybody. Case is getting - exclusively - all the reps with the ones.

Analysis: Coming off a shocking breakout season, Keenum joins another team with a potent wideout duo and promising defense, though it's still an overall downgrade in supporting cast. This doesn't preclude the Broncos from using an early draft pick on a quarterback, but it's safe to assume Keenum will get the Week 1 start. Denver still appears to need a tight end, a No. 3 receiver and a couple more starting-caliber offensive linemen.

Set to sign with Denver
Keenum intends to sign with Denver when free agency begins Wednesday, ESPN reports.
Analysis: It sounds like the Vikings are set to try and sign Kirk Cousins. Keenum will thus move to Denver. However, none of this is official and players could change their minds before signings can officially begin Wednesday. Keenum threw for 3,547 yards and 22 touchdowns in leading the Vikings to the NFC Championship game.

Keenum could draw interest from the Broncos, Browns, Cardinals and Vikings, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: With the Vikings shaping up as the early favorites for Kirk Cousins, it won't come as any surprise if Keenum is forced to find a new team. In addition to the franchises mentioned above, the Jets and Bills figure to be in the market for quarterbacks. Keenum will be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins March 14.

The Vikings don't intend to use their franchise tag on Keenum before the March 6, allowing the quarterback to instead hit unrestricted free agency, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The franchise tag for quarterbacks is projected at around $23 million in 2018, so the Vikings weren't eager to pony up to retain Keenum at that price coming off just one season as a full-time starter, albeit an effective one. Minnesota's reluctance to use the tag on Keenum doesn't necessarily indicate the club isn't interested in retaining the 30-year-old, but he may rate as a fallback option at this point in the event the Vikings aren't able to ink the top quarterback available on the market…read more

Keenum completed 28 of 48 pass attempts for 271 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 38-7 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Keenum struggled for much of the afternoon, completing just 58 percent of his passes for 5.6 yards per attempt. He threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph on the opening drive of the game, but he thew a pick-six later in the quarter and was intercepted again on the final possession, with the game already out of hand. Keenum put together a strong regular season, setting career highs in every single offensive category, and came within a game of leading his team to the Super Bowl. Those…read more

Keenum completed 25 of 40 passes for 318 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 29-24 NFC divisional-round victory over the Saints.
Analysis: Keenum marched the Vikings' offense up and down the field throughout the first two quarters of play, setting up both Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon for rushing touchdowns to put Minnesota up 17-0 at half. However, the Saints' defense tightened up thereafter and Keenum couldn't get much of anything going before hitting Stefon Diggs for a 61-yard, game-winning touchdown as time expired. While it wasn't a huge statistical outing for the quarterback -- especially since the bulk of his fantasy…read more

Keenum was 21-of-29 passing for 189 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's win over Chicago.
Analysis: Keenum didn't need to do too much in the passing game after the Vikings got an early lead, but he was efficient as usual with a 101.1 passer rating. He'll try to keep his unexpected breakout season going at home in the playoffs after a bye.

Keenum completed 14 of 25 passes for 139 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 16-0 victory at Green Bay.
Analysis: Overall, Keenum's stat line wasn't impressive by any metric, but he managed the game once again, avoiding a turnover for the ninth time in 14 appearances this season. In fact, the 139 passing yards marked his fewest in any game this season and were joined by four carries for minus-two yards. He salvaged his day, though, with a TD connection with Stefon Diggs to conclude the Vikings' third drive of the evening and set the tone for yet another win. If the Vikings emerge from this weekend with the…read more

Keenum completed 20 of 23 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns while adding a 20-yard rush in Sunday's 34-7 victory over the Bengals.
Analysis: Keenum was accurate and efficient, misfiring on just three passes while throwing touchdown passes from 20 yards and one yard out to Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph, respectively. He was replaced by Teddy Bridgewater after the Rudolph score gave Minnesota a 34-0 lead, but there's no quarterback controversy here. Any inkling of such a narrative was put to rest when Bridgewater promptly threw an interception on his first passing attempt.

Locked in as Week 15 starter
Keenum will start Week 15 against the Bengals, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: The rumors about Teddy Bridgewater taking the job went quiet the past month as Keenum continued to play at a high level. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer made it clear that one bad outing won't cost Keenum the job, as Sunday's 31-24 loss in Carolina was preceded by eight consecutive victories, with five of those coming against teams that currently own winning records. Keenum threw two picks and lost a fumble in Sunday's loss, but he also tossed a pair of touchdowns while accounting for 320 yards…read more

Keenum completed 27 of 44 passes for 280 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Carolina. He also scrambled five times for 40 yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: While Keenum was picked off on a deep ball intended for Adam Thielen on the opening drive, he made amends with an 18-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph on the next possession. The quarterback threw another interception while targeting Stefon Diggs in the fourth quarter, but looked Thielen's way with more success on a 52-yard touchdown on the next drive and added a successful two-point conversion to Blake Bell. While a late winning drive by Carolina ended up rendering Minnesota's…read more

Keenum will start against the Falcons in Week 13, but Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said the team is still re-evaluating its quarterback situation on a weekly basis, Andrew Krammer of The Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: As much as the Vikings want to see Teddy Bridgewater under center, Keenum is making it impossible for the thriving team to make a change. He's led Minnesota to seven consecutive victories, most recently completing 21 of 30 passes for 282 yards and two scores (with another touchdown on the ground) in Thursday's 30-23 win over the Lions. Keenum may have even earned some leash to work with, whereas it once seemed a single bad outing would be enough to give Bridgewater the job. There is some…read more

Keenum completed 21 of 30 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 30-23 win over the Lions. He also rushed seven times for 20 yards and a score.
Analysis: This was just the fourth multi-touchdown game of the season for Keenum, but with seven consecutive wins, it's difficult to nitpick his play for the Vikings. Minnesota's bread and butter is its rushing attack and strong defense, so Keenum will likely continue to have some game-to-game inconsistency moving forward. Still, this showing serves as another example that he's a solid fantasy option for upcoming favorable matchups. Additionally, as long as the Vikings are winning, it would seem more and…read more

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer confirmed that Keenum would start Thursday's game against the Lions, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: In the days leading up to the Vikings' Week 11 game against the Rams, Zimmer was initially reluctant to commit to Keenum as the team's starting quarterback, but ultimately gave the nod to the 29-year-old. Keenum remained his typically steady self in the Vikings' 24-7 victory, completing 27 of 38 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown to earn some more leash in his starting role. While Keenum isn't a Pro Bowl-level talent, his 66 percent completion rate and 12:5 TD:INT in nine appearances this…read more

Positioned for another start
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer admitted that it would be difficult to remove Keenum from the starting role, Chip Scoggins of The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "It's going to be hard to yank him out of there right now," Zimmer acknowledged after Sunday's 24-7 win over the Rams.
Analysis: As much as the team wants to see Teddy Bridgewater in a game, there's no way the Vikings can justify benching Keenum when he hasn't turned in a poor outing since Week 4. The team's status as a clear favorite in the NFC North and potential top-two seed means talent evaluation for the future isn't a priority. Bridgewater may still be viewed as the likely quarterback for 2017 and beyond, but he won't get a shot in a game situation unless Keenum starts to struggle or the Vikings have a meaningless…read more

Keenum completed 27 of 38 passes for 280 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Rams. He also gained 20 yards on three rushes.
Analysis: Teddy Bridgewater's looming presence doesn't seem to have shaken up Keenum over the last two games, as he's thrown for 584 yards and generated a 5:2 TD:INT ratio over the last pair of contests. Keenum has completed better than 70 percent of his throws in both of those games as well, leading the Vikings to a pair of impressive wins. He got some help from Adam Thielen on his one touchdown Sunday, as the talented receiver took a short throw 65 yards to the house in the fourth quarter to give…read more

Confirmed as Week 11 starter
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer confirmed Wednesday that Keenum would remain the starting quarterback for the Week 11 home game against the Rams.
Analysis: It's not overly surprising that Keenum will retain the starting assignment this week after leading the Vikings to a 38-30 win -- the team's fifth straight -- over Washington on Sunday, a game in which he threw for 304 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. In that contest, Keenum also threw two second-half interceptions to let Washington back into the contest, but since given Keenum's solid body of work throughout the season, Zimmer determined it wasn't time to turn the offense over to Teddy…read more

The Vikings are expected to stick with Keenum as their starter for Week 11 against the Rams, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: Per ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he hasn't announced a decision to his team and doesn't plan to do so before Wednesday. It makes sense that Keenum would get at least one more start, coming off a 304-yard, four-touchdown performance in Sunday's 38-30 road win over the Redskins. The Vikings may be eager to see Teddy Bridgewater in a game, but it's tough for a division-leading team to justify benching a quarterback who's produced five consecutive victories. Keenum…read more

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he has a plan for Week 11 against the Rams, but he declined to specify whether than plan features Keenum or Teddy Bridgewater as the starter, ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin reports.
Analysis: Keenum completed 21 of 29 passes for 304 yards and four scores in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Redskins, but his interceptions on back-to-back drives in the second half opened a window for Washington to make a comeback. While Keenum seemingly has played well enough to keep the starting job -- at least for another week -- the Vikings may be anxious to see how Bridgewater looks in a game for the first time since 2015.

Keenum completed 21 of 29 passes for 304 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 38-30 win over Washington.
Analysis: Washington has given plenty of top-shelf quarterbacks trouble this season, including Russell Wilson and Derek Carr. During parts of Sunday, however, Keenum -- Minnesota's starter only because of the bad knees of Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater -- looked like Joe Montana with four touchdown passes in the first 33 minutes of the game. He has now thrown multiple touchdowns in back-to-back games after just one such performance in his first six outings of the year. He cooled off in the second…read more

Bradford hasn't made much notable progress in his recovery coming out of the Vikings' bye week and is without a timetable to return, but despite his success thus far, Keenum may soon face a new challenger for the starting role in Teddy Bridgewater (knee), who is set to be activated from the Physically Unable to…read more
