Dalvin Cook Suffers Chest Injury

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (chest) left Monday night's game in the third quarter after getting hit in the same area that was injured in Week 11's win over the Denver Broncos. The injury was originally thought to be to his shoulder. He reportedly could have returned to the game in Week 13 but […]

Kirk Cousins Throws For Two Scores In Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 22 of 38 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns in Week 13, falling just short of a comeback in a 37-30 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Cousins also threw his fourth interception of the year in the defeat. He was not as accurate as he had been in […]

Olabisi Johnson Silent In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught one of three targets for one yard in Week 13's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson wasn't able to do anything with his increased snap count even with the Vikings trailing for most of the contest. The rookie wideout has had his moments this year, but he can […]

Stefon Diggs Is Quiet In Loss To Seahawks

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a tough night in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks, catching just four of nine targets for 25 yards in the contest. He added one rush for 27 yards on an end-around. Diggs had a few drops in the game and wasn't able to capitalize on his increased […]

Kyle Rudolph Continues Touchdown Streak

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught four of six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. Rudolph made a great one-handed snag in the end zone for his fifth touchdown in his last four games played as he has emerged as a weekly scoring threat in the […]

Vikings Defense Notches Pick-Six

The Minnesota Vikings Defense filled up the stat sheet en route to a solid fantasy output in Week 13's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Safety Anthony Harris took an interception back for a touchdown in the second quarter, Mackenzie Alexander recovered a fumble, and the defensive line notched two sacks. However, they gave up a […]

Alexander Mattison Fills In Admirably In Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison carried four times for 22 yards in Week 13's loss to the Seahawks, filling in nicely for the injured Dalvin Cook (shoulder) in the second half. He added three catches for 44 yards as he benefited from some well-executed screens. Mattison didn't get a ton of rushing opportunities due […]

Laquon Treadwell Snares Long Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell hauled in a 58-yard touchdown in a 37-30 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Treadwell found himself wide open on the play and easily waltzed in for the second touchdown of his career. He only saw two targets in the game and receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is […]

Dalvin Cook Exits Game With Injury

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was injured on a run in the third quarter and left the game to head to the locker room. He is questionable to return. Prior to the injury, Cook had nine carries for 29 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 35 yards. Stay tuned for an […]

Adam Thielen Ruled Out For Week 13

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 13's contest on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. Thielen did not travel with the team to Seattle after practicing in a limited capacity throughout the week and he will now be targeting a return in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. […]

Dan Bailey Is A Sneaky Week 13 Play

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey is a solid starting option for Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have been getting gashed through the air over their last four games, and Kirk Cousins has been among the top passers in the league in that time period. The game has the second-highest expected point total […]

Olabisi Johnson Is The Emergency Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught six of nine targets for 35 scoreless yards in Week 12 and has filled in admirably as the No. 2 receiver in Adam Thielen's (hamstring) absence. Thielen is truly questionable for Monday night's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, recently stating that he won't play at anything less than […]

Alexander Mattison Shouldn't Be Started In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has made a solid impression in his rookie season, but he can't be trusted as a starting fantasy option with his current role in the offense. Mattison received just three carries and gained five yards in Week 12's close contest against the Broncos. He just doesn't see enough action […]

Vikings Defense In Tough Spot On Monday

The Minnesota Vikings Defense has been a consistently solid unit this season, but they'll face a very difficult task in Week 13 and if you have a chance to stream a defense with a better matchup, do it. The Vikings face MVP-candidate Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, a team that currently ranks sixth in […]

Stefon Diggs Is An Upside WR2 In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to keep the good times rollin' in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The fifth-year wideout has had at least 121 receiving yards in four of his last six games and is coming off a productive game (5/121/1) against a tough Broncos Defense in Week 11. Diggs […]

Kyle Rudolph Could Have Appeal In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has caught 12 of 15 targets for 104 yards and four touchdowns in his last three games played. He has become a reliable option in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) and he can be started as a high-end TE2 if the star wideout is ruled out again in […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Low-End QB1 Against Seattle

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has entered the down-ballot MVP conversation with his recent stretch of stellar play. The NFL's current leader in passer rating, Cousins has also compiled an impressive 18/1 TD/INT ratio over his last seven games and his 70.6% completion rate checks in at fourth in the league. He should be able […]

Olabisi Johnson Sees Team-High Nine Targets

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught six of nine targets for 35 yards in a Week 11 win over the Denver Broncos. Johnson resumed his post as the No. 2 receiver with Adam Thielen (hamstring) out, but he wasn't able to come up with much of anything in terms of receiving yardage. That has […]

Dan Bailey Hits Three Extra Points In Win

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey hit all three of his extra-point attempts in a 27-23 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 11. The Vikings weren't expected to score a ton of points against a stout Broncos Defense, but Bailey not getting a chance at a single field goal attempt is a disappointing result for […]

Stefon Diggs Totals 121 Yards And A Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught all five of his targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in a Week 11 win over the Denver Broncos. Diggs was shut out in the first half but bounced back in a major way with his fifth 100-yard receiving day and his fifth touchdown of the year. […]

Kirk Cousins Leads Vikings To Comeback Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 29-of-35 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-23 comeback win over the Denver Broncos.

Kyle Rudolph Scores For Third Straight Week

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught all five of his targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 11's win over the Denver Broncos. Rudolph finished tied for third on the team in targets and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 32-yarder in the fourth quarter. Rudolph is now up to five scores […]

Irv Smith Jr. Scores First Career Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in a 27-23 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 11. The touchdown was a 10-yarder in the third quarter and it was the first career touchdown for the rookie tight end out of Alabama. He's […]

Alexander Mattison Sees Limited Work In Win

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison was pretty much silent in Week 11 as he had just three carries for five yards in a comeback win over the Denver Broncos. Mattison was just not involved in the game plan and lost work due to the Vikings playing from behind for almost the entire contest. Mattison […]

Dalvin Cook Saves Day With Rushing Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried 11 times for 26 yards (2.4 yards per carry) and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. He tacked on five catches for 31 yards in the 27-23 comeback win, but he was just not that involved in the offense as his 16 touches were the […]

Vikings Defense Notches Two Sacks Against Broncos

The Minnesota Vikings Defense surprisingly had a tough time containing the Broncos offense in a 27-23 comeback win in Week 11. The Broncos amassed 394 total yards, though the Vikings were able to clutch up and contain them to just three points in the second half. They tacked on one interception and two sacks in […]

Alexander Mattison Is An RB4 Again In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison isn't a recommended starting option in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. Though Mattison is a good bet for 7-10 carries on a weekly basis, the Broncos Defense is really tough against the run and they've only gotten better as the season has worn on. The game plan will […]

Vikings Defense Is A Top Play Against Broncos

The Minnesota Vikings Defense has been a consistent unit this season despite lacking upside with just one game over 10 fantasy points back in Week 1. They'll get a chance to put up a high total in Week 11 as they take on rookie Brandon Allen and the Denver Broncos on the road. The Broncos […]

Kirk Cousins Has Limited Upside In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins continued his stretch of solid fantasy production in Week 10 and he's now posted top-12 finishes in five of his last six games. He also holds an impressive 18/3 TD/INT ratio and is completing just under 70% of his passes in what has been a very efficient 2019 campaign overall. […]

Stefon Diggs Is A Borderline WR2/WR3 In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has had an up-and-down season, to say the least. He had a monster three-week span with 453 receiving yards and three touchdowns, but he has also had six games with three catches or less and less than 50 receiving yards. Though Diggs would normally be a top-15 play with […]
