Vikings Defense Has Dominant Fantasy Performance In Week 1

The Minnesota Vikings defense showed the San Francisco 49ers why they were the best unit in the league a season ago. The Vikings picked off 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo three times in a 24-16 win. Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith both had an interception, while rookie Mike Hughes chipped in with a pick-six. Furthermore, defensive […]

Laquon Treadwell Hauls In Two Catches On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell snagged two of his four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Treadwell had a nice 16-yard catch-and-run late in the second quarter that saw him break through an arm tackle. It seems that the former first-round pick is going to have a […]

Kyle Rudolph Only Sees Two Targets In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was only targeted twice in a 24-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Rudolph just had a single reception in the contest, but it was for an 11-yard touchdown. The lack of targets is fairly alarming considering how much Kirk Cousins seems to love his tight ends. Perhaps it […]

Latavius Murray Sees Clock-Killing Duties In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray had 42 yards on 11 carries in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Murray was sparsely used by the Vikings until later on in the game when the team was attempting to run out the clock. It was evident that Dalvin Cook is the primary […]

Dalvin Cook Looks Perfectly Healthy In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook dominated Sunday's snap count, dispelling all the claims that he would be eased back into regular playing time. Cook was on the field for 57-of-71 snaps in the 24-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He only garnered 40 rushing yards on 16 carries, but a portion of that […]

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez was 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, and a run scored in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Xavier Rhodes Will Play On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings All-Pro cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Rhodes was listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but it always seemed likely that he would suit up. This is good news for any fantasy owners that have the Vikings defense as […]

Carlos Rodon Struggles Against Angels

Chicago White Sox starter Carlos Rodon allowed four runs on six hits through 4 2/3 innings in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He struggled with control, as he allowed five walks while striking out four. This is now back-to-back ugly outings from Rodon after a stretch of dominance. He still has a […]

Justin Smoak Out Of Saturday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Justin Smoak is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians. Smoak is coming off of a 0-for-4 performance with four strikeouts in Friday's game, so the rest day is warranted. Rowdy Tellez will man first base while Kendrys Morales serves as the designated hitter. Both are worth […]

Marco Estrada Bounces Back On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada pitched well in a 3-2 win against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Estrada went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits in the no-decision.

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez was 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Kendrys Morales Notches Three Hits Against Rays

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Kendrys Morales was 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored, and a walk in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
