Kene Nwangwu Active Against Lions
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Kene Nwangwu (illness) is active on Sunday for the matchup against the Detroit Lions. Nwangwu popped up on the injury report on Saturday with a non-COVID-19-related illness and was listed as questionable to play. Alexander Mattison will see the bulk of the backfield touches with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) sidelined, but Nwangwu should also have a role as a change of pace behind Mattison. The Lions have allowed the fourth-most rushing yards per game (133.9) and the third-most fantasy points per game to RBs this year, so Mattison has RB1 upside as a plug-and-play option. Nwangwu could have some room to run, too, but it's debatable whether he'll see enough touches to carry standalone value in deep PPR leagues as a flex.
