Adam Thielen Racks Up 50 Yards In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught three of his four targets for 50 yards in the 31-24 loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Wild Card game. During the regular season, Thielen posted just 42.1 receiving yards per game and a career-low 10.2 yards per reception. The 32-year-old is beyond the age […]

K.J. Osborn Catches Touchdown In Playoff Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught two of his three targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the 31-24 Wild Card loss to the New York Giants. Osborn was one of the best No. 3 receivers this season, totaling 60 catches for 650 yards and five touchdowns during the regular season. Minnesota has […]

T.J. Hockenson Posts 129 Receiving Yards

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 10 of his 11 targets for 129 receiving yards in the Wild Card loss to the New York Giants. Hockenson was a fantasy star after he was dealt to the Vikings, so expect him to come off the board among the first five tight ends in 2023 fantasy […]

Justin Jefferson Catches Seven Passes In Playoff Debut

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his nine targets for 47 yards in the 31-24 loss to the New York Giants in the Wild Card round. Jefferson only caught one pass in the second half and was unable to find the end zone all game. Despite a down performance, Jefferson will be […]

Dalvin Cooks Totals 70 Yards on 21 Touches

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed 15 times for 60 yards and caught six of his seven targets for 10 yards in the Wild Card loss to the New York Giants. Cook had a solid season with 1,173 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns, but the 27-year-old posted career-low yards per carry (4.4) and […]

Kirk Cousins Throws For 273 Yards In Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 31 of his 39 passing attempts for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in the 31-24 loss to the New York Giants. Despite a solid outing, the Vikings' season will come to an end as Cousins wasn't able to lead his team down the field in the clutch […]

The NFL's regular season and traditional fantasy football leagues have come to an end, but now is arguably the most exciting and enticing time to participate in single-game DFS tournaments.

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Chargers vs. Jaguars Wild Card Showdown

The NFL's regular season and traditional fantasy football leagues have come to an end, but now is arguably the most exciting and enticing time to participate in single-game DFS tournaments.

Our fantasy football injury reports for tight ends as of Saturday, January 14 will give you the latest scoop on the status […]

Raheem Mostert Won't Face Bills

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) will not play in the Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. Mostert suffered a broken thumb in the playoff-clinching win over the Jets, so it remains to be seen whether he could return next week should the Dolphins survive and advance. With Mostert out of the picture, […]

Lamar Jackson Officially Out Versus Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson missed each of the Ravens' final five games and despite speculation that he'd return in the playoffs, he won't suit up in the opening round. Tyler Huntley (shoulder/wrist) was a full participant in practice […]

Gus Edwards Clears Concussion Protocol

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has cleared the concussion protocol, so he will play in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards has rushed 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns this season in nine games played but has not caught a pass on two total targets. The Bengals have allowed […]

Greg Joseph An Uninspiring Single-Game DFS Play

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph could be used as a cheap option to afford Kirk Cousins-Justin Jefferson-T.J. Hockenson stacks in single-game DFS contests, but no one feels great about playing a kicker with money on the line. Joseph finished tied for 16th in fantasy points per game during the regular season, so there's no huge […]

Vikings Defense Not A Strong DFS Option

The Minnesota Vikings defense has allowed the second-most total yards per game this season (388.7), so its fantasy defense/special teams isn't worth much consideration on the six-game wild-card slate. Minnesota's defense is the fifth-most expensive unit this weekend, despite the matchup with the competent New York Giants' offense in round one of the NFL playoffs. […]

Adam Thielen A Touchdown-Or-Bust DFS Play

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has totaled just seven receptions in his last four games, so he's an uninspiring DFS play for the Wild Card game against the New York Giants. Pass-catchers Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, and K.J. Osborn have all had massive boom weeks in the latter part of the regular season, but […]

T.J. Hockenson Has Huge Upside Versus Giants

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 86 passes for 914 yards and six touchdowns during his 2022 campaign, but one of his two massive performances came against the New York Giants in Week 16. In that game, Hockenson caught 13 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns, scoring 38.9 DraftKings points. Earlier in the […]

K.J. Osborn A Bargain DFS Choice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught 60 passes for 650 yards and five touchdowns during the 2022 regular season as one of the best No. 3 wide receivers in the NFL. He has saved his best performances for late in the season, posting at least 14.8 DraftKings points in four of his last five […]

Dalvin Cook Likely Not Worth DFS Price Tag

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed for 1,173 yards this season, but he only surpassed 100 rushing yards in two of his 17 games played this season. In six games, he failed to reach 50 rushing yards. Ultimately, his ceiling hasn't been what it once was during his stellar career and for running backs […]

Kirk Cousins A Solid Full-Slate DFS Option

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been known to have a high ceiling and low floor throughout his NFL career, and 2022 has been no different. The veteran quarterback has six games over 22.5 DraftKings points, but he's failed to reach 13.1 DraftKings points in five games this season. Since DFS is the focus here, […]

Justin Jefferson Is In For Big Playoff Debut

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson posted 128 receptions for 1,809 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in his third season in the NFL. Needless to say, he's an elite fantasy option and is a great pick to build a team around in DFS contests. Of course, he's going to be the most expensive player in […]

Is Kyle Rudolph Healthy or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph is far removed from his prime and hasn't been on the fantasy radar this season, but with a lot of attention shifted toward DFS contests for the NFL playoffs, his injury at least somewhat matters. Rudolph was once a stud tight end with a ton of touchdown upside […]

Is Mike Evans Healthy or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans did not play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18, so DFS gamers and postseason fantasy managers are wondering whether he'll play in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Evans delivered an all-time fantasy championship round performance in Week 17, so he's clearly still a high-end fantasy […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For QBs: Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagovailoa, Trevor Lawrence

Is Lamar Jackson Healthy Or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Moving forward, we will only cover players on teams in the NFL playoffs in these injury articles. We have the latest news on banged-up players with fantasy significance and their […]

Ryan Succop Makes Three Kicks Versus Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made both of his extra point attempts and his only field goal attempt in the 30-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. Succop was a hot fantasy kicker early in the season, but finishes tied for the No. 16 kicker in total fantasy points scored between Week […]

Russell Gage Suffers Back Injury In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (back) caught three of his six targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. However, he landed hard on his back on the play that he scored a touchdown, so his status for the wild-card game against the Dallas […]

Kyle Rudolph Catches 50th Career Touchdown Before Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph caught his only target for an eight-yard touchdown but suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the remainder of the game. The 33-year-old tight end totaled just three catches for 28 yards in five games played this season, but he was able to record the 50th […]
