K.J. Osborn - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn entered last week with only one game over 26 yards receiving since Week 2. When fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen left the game early with an ankle injury, Osborn stepped up with four catches for 47 yards and his first touchdown since Week 6. With Thielen already ruled out […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson did his part in Week 13. In a game full of disappointments, Jefferson was one of the few bright spots with 11 catches for 182 yards against the Detroit Lions. Jefferson has been one of the hottest players in the league over the past five months, averaging 25.2 points […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison proved once again in Week 13 that he is the most reliable backup running back in fantasy football. Filling in for an injured Dalvin Cook, Mattison put up 124 total yards and a rushing touchdown in the loss to the Detroit Lions. With a short week and the Pittsburgh […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Despite an embarrassing loss to the previously winless Detroit Lions in Week 13, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins continued to put up impressive passing numbers. Currently sitting at QB6 on the season, Cousins finished with his ninth 300-yard performance of the season in the loss. This week Cousins and the Vikings take on a Pittsburgh […]

K.J. Osborn Has 47 Yards And A Touchdown In Vikings Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn took advantage of the absence of Adam Thielen with four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. After five straight games of 20 yards or less, Osborn was probably dropped in most leagues. If Thielen is forced to miss more time, Osborn […]

Tyler Conklin Catches Goes For 56 Yards In Loss To Detroit

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin came into the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions in a bit of a slump. He had three consecutive games with three catches or fewer and less than 40 yards per game. The matchup wasn't great against a Detroit defense ranked 14th against opposing tight ends. But when […]

Justin Jefferson Continues Torching Defenses With 182 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson continued his ascent up the rankings of NFL wide receivers with another monster performance in Week 13. Jefferson entered the matchup against the Detroit Lions as WR5 in PPR leagues and still had season-highs in targets, receptions and yards. Jefferson turned 14 targets into 11 receptions and his 182 […]

James Conner Leads Arizona In Rushing And Receiving In Win

In perhaps his last game with the backfield to himself before the possible return of Chase Edmonds in Week 14, Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner led the team in both rushing and receiving in the 33-22 win over the Chicago Bears. Quarterback Kyler Murray had the only two rushing touchdowns for Arizona though Conner […]

Alexander Mattison Totals 124 Yards And A Touchdown

Fantasy managers that held onto Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison after the return of Dalvin Cook were rewarded once again with a workhorse-like performance in Week 13. Although he rarely sees the field when Cook is healthy, there is no significant drop-off when Mattison is called upon to carry the load. Mattison touched the […]

Kyler Murray Accounts For Four Touchdowns In Win Over Bears

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray returned to the lineup in Week 13 but only attempted 15 passes and ended the game with a season-low 123 yards passing. Luckily for the Cardinals and his fantasy managers, Murray also ran for 59 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing statistics combined with two passing scores were enough to […]

Kirk Cousins Compiles 340 Passing Yards In Loss To Lions

Sometimes fantasy managers are better off not watching the game and just being happy with the points their players provide. Such was the case for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' managers in their Week 13 unfathomable loss to the previously winless Detroit Lions. It was an ugly game that will surely have organizational ramifications for […]

Cardinals Defense - Week 13 Outlook

The Arizona Cardinals were expected to score plenty of points in 2021. And they have done just that, ranking 5th in points per game. But it's the Arizona defense that has been the biggest surprise and the reason they are currently the number one seed in the NFC. The Cardinal defense is currently fourth in […]

Vikings Defense - Week 13 Outlook

The Minnesota Vikings defense hasn't been a reliable starting unit in 2021. In the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Vikings gave up 34 points, the sixth time in 11 games opponents have scored at least 27 points. The Vikings take on the winless Detroit Lions in Week 13 who are giving […]

Zach Ertz - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The last time Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz took the field, he had his best fantasy performance of the season. His eight catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns were enough to catapult Ertz to TE10 on the season. With the possible return of quarterback Kyler Murray in Week 13, Ertz will look to […]

Christian Kirk - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has seen his opportunities increase the last three weeks with the absence of DeAndre Hopkins. Unfortunately, quarterback Kyler Murray has also been missing leaving Kirk and the rest of the receiving corps struggling to connect with backup quarterbacks. With both Murray and Hopkins carrying questionable tags once again going […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin enters the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions with three consecutive games of 35 yards or fewer. Currently sitting at TE13, Conklin faces a Detroit defense that is ranked 14th against opposing tight ends. Despite the Vikings being 10th in the league in pass attempts and Conklin being […]

Alexander Mattison - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison resumes his role as the top handcuff in fantasy football in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. With starter Dalvin Cook likely out for the next two weeks, Mattison steps into a smash spot against a defense that gives up the fifth most points to opposing running backs. In […]

James Conner - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner has the backfield to himself for at least one more week. Teammate Chase Edmonds is not eligible to return from IR until next week, leaving Conner with another busy week against the Chicago Bears. Edmonds was injured early in Week 9 giving Conner almost three full games as the […]

Adam Thielen - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is the WR7 in PPR leagues and is tied for the NFL lead with 10 receiving touchdowns. The Vikings have such a condensed passing game that despite sharing the field with Justin Jefferson, Thielen is still 16th in the league in targets. That high volume and his consistent ability […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is the WR5 in PPR leagues entering the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. At first glance, the matchup against the winless Lions seems like a slam dunk, but teams are only attempting 30.91 pass attempts per game against them. Jefferson torched the Detroit secondary in Week 5 […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins enters the Week 13 matchup with the Detroit Lions as the QB8 on the season. Cousins is completing 67.7% of his passes for 3,013 yards, 23 touchdowns and only three interceptions. The game script could be the only thing holding Cousins back against a Lion defense that is so bad […]

Tyler Conklin Held To 25 Yards In Vikings Loss

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin had his third consecutive game with three or fewer catches and under 40 yards receiving. Entering Week 12 as TE13 says more about the tight-end landscape than it does for Conklin's outlook for the rest of the season. While Conklin is the fourth receiving option on a Viking offense […]

Adam Thielen Scores Two More Touchdowns In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen just keeps scoring touchdowns. All offseason, the narrative was the same: Thielen's touchdown regression is coming. But fantasy managers who ignored that advice have been rewarded almost weekly. Thielen's two touchdowns in the Vikings Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers vaulted him into a tie for the […]

Justin Jefferson Held To Four Catches In Vikings Loss To 49ers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson entered Week 12 as one of the hottest players in the league. With 17 catches for 312 yards and two touchdowns in his previous two games, Jefferson had positioned himself inside the top five wide receiver rankings in PPR leagues. While he did lead the team with nine targets […]

Kirk Cousins Throws For 238 Yards And Two Scores In Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in a 34-26 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Although the interception was only his third of the season, it was a costly one that gave the 49ers a short field that resulted in a touchdown on […]

Greg Joseph - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

There is a belief in fantasy football that volume is king. And that tends to be true with kickers as well. Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is third in the league in both field-goal attempts and field goals made. In what should be a close contest against the San Francisco 49ers with an offense capable […]

Vikings Defense - Week 12 Outlook

In their 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings defense gave up 467 yards, including 385 yards and four touchdown passes to Aaron Rodgers. While the opposing quarterback this week, Jimmy Garoppolo, doesn't pose the same threat as Rodgers, the San Francisco 49ers have enough weapons on offense to give the Packers […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

For fantasy managers who choose to stream the tight end position, Minnesota Vikings' Tyler Conklin has been a decent option in 2021. Currently sitting at TE13 in PPR leagues, Conklin is coming off a performance in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers in which he collected three catches for 35 yards. While Conklin will […]

Adam Thielen - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen continues to be one of the most underrated wide receivers in the league. Currently sitting as WR10 in PPR leagues, Thielen is coming off an eight-catch, 82-yard game in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers in which he scored his eighth touchdown of the season. Despite sharing the […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Fantasy managers who drafted Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had reason to worry after a two-game stretch in which he only had five catches for 90 yards combined in Weeks 8 and 9. But Jefferson quickly put those fears to rest after putting up 17 catches for 312 yards and two touchdowns combined in […]
