Stefon Diggs Targeted Once On Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs saw limited action on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks, hauling in his one target for six receiving yards in the contest. The lack of target share in the offense is not a concern for Diggs - he finished with 149 targets (just four behind Adam Thielen) to go […]


Adam Thielen Has Efficient Outing In Win

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was his usual dependable self on Sunday, snagging all three of his targets for 45 yards in limited action with the first-team offense. Thielen made a nice over-the-shoulder grab for 34 yards in the first quarter and drew a pass interference penalty on a deep ball the very next […]


Dalvin Cook Doesn't Play on Sunday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was listed as active but didn't see the field on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks. Cook was held out of last week's contest as well - the Vikings are being extra cautious with their third-year back during the preseason as he has struggled to stay healthy early in […]


Irv Smith Jr. Snags Touchdown In Impressive Game

Minnesota Vikings rookie tight end Irv Smith Jr. had an impressive night on Sunday, at least as far as preseason games go. Smith Jr. caught all five of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown, and he looks firmly entrenched as the Vikings top backup option at the tight end spot. It's never a […]


Kirk Cousins Solid Against Seahawks

Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins was efficient in limited action on Sunday night, going 6-for-8 for 68 yards passing and leading the Vikings to a Dan Bailey 24-yard field goal in the first quarter. Cousins showed nice poise in the pocket and delivered a few beautiful deep balls to Adam Thielen before being pulled […]


Laquon Treadwell Put On Trade Block

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has been put on the trading block, according to Albert Breer of SI.com. This has to be among the most unsurprising news coming out of Vikings training camp, as the 2016 first-round pick has been extremely disappointing despite receiving plenty of opportunities (one career touchdown, 61.5% catch rate) the […]


Alexander Mattison Shows Well In Debut

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison put up a solid effort on Friday night, carrying nine times for 30 yards and catching 1-of-2 targets for a one-yard receiving touchdown in the victory. The touchdown came on a well-executed play-action pass from starting quarterback Kirk Cousins in the game's opening drive. He was outplayed by […]


Kirk Cousins Perfect In Preseason Debut

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was only given one drive to show off on Friday night, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. Cousins was 4-for-4 for 65 yards and a touchdown, throwing a one-yard score to Alexander Mattison following catches by Adam Thielen and Kyle Rudolph. The offense was very efficient on the […]


Irv Smith Jr. Being Moved Around Formation

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. recently told ESPN's Courtney Cronin that the Vikings are getting creative with his usage in the passing game, lining him up out wide and even in the backfield on occasion. The rookie second-rounder was listed as the second tight end on the team's first unofficial depth chart, and […]


Roberto Osuna Picks Up 25th Save

Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna fired a scoreless ninth inning to notch his 25th save in a 3-1 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Osuna didn't allow a hit and struck out one in the inning, needing just 14 pitches to get the job done. He has been a bit shaky since the All-Star […]


Justin Verlander Cruises To 15th Win

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander threw six innings, allowed just one run off of three hits, and struck out 10 batters en route to a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Verlander walked just one batter in the contest and displayed excellent control, aside from one mistake in the 7th inning that […]


Kirk Cousins Solid Option at ADP

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had the best year of his career in 2018, tallying 4,298 passing yards, a 30/10 TD/INT ratio, and a sparkling 70.1% completion percentage. However, Cousins finished the year as QB13, and there seems to be a consensus that the Vikings will shift to a run-centric approach in 2019 (after finishing […]


Alexander Mattison Solid Late-Round Handcuff

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison could offer some intriguing value in the late rounds of 2019 fantasy drafts, both for his handcuff status behind the oft-injured Dalvin Cook and for his standalone value in what looks to be a more balanced offense this season. Run-game-guru Gary Kubiak recently said that Mattison has "shown […]


Dalvin Cook Primed For Breakout Season

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has had an up-and-down start to his career. Drafted as a second-round pick out of Florida State, Cook played in just four games his rookie season before tearing his ACL, and his 2018 was plagued by nagging hamstring issues that cost him five games. Notably, Cook had just three […]


Charlie Blackmon Stuck In July Slump

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon has been in a prolonged slump, something very uncharacteristic for the ninth-year veteran who holds a .303 career batting average. In the month of July (48 at-bats), Blackmon is hitting .167/.216/.208 with no home runs and just three RBI. His K/BB ratio is 14/3 over that stretch as he is […]


Yoan Moncada Smacks 17th Bomb

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in a 5-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Moncada is having a breakout year at the plate, slashing .303/.361/.529 while chipping in 17 home runs, 50 RBI, and 52 runs scored over 333 at-bats in […]


Caleb Smith Posts Solid Start On Thursday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith threw five innings, gave up two earned runs on five hits, and struck out seven while walking two on Thursday afternoon. Smith was actually in line for the win, but the Miami bullpen blew the lead en route to a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres. Smith holds […]


Wilson Ramos Not In Lineup Thursday Night

New York Mets catcher Wilson Ramos is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday night's tilt against the San Francisco Giants. This move is presumably due to starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard's preference to have Tomas Nido behind the plate defensively. Ramos hasn't had a great 2019 season, though he remains a back-end starting catcher in […]


Taylor Rogers Nails Down Multi-Inning Save

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers shut the door on the Cleveland Indians in a 5-3 victory on Friday night. Rogers pitched a clean last two innings, allowing just one hit and striking out three for his 13th save of the year. Rogers has been lights-out this season, with a 1.73 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 32.5% […]


Mitch Garver Hits 14th Homer Of Season

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians. The homer came in the eighth inning off of reliever Tyler Clippard and gave the Twins a two-run cushion en route to the win. Garver is slashing .294/.372/.619 with 14 homers, 36 RBI, and 34 […]


Nelson Cruz Smacks Solo Bomb In Comeback Win

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz went 1-for-4 with his 17th homer of the year in Friday's 5-3 comeback win over the Cleveland Indians. The bomb came in the first inning off of Indians starter Mike Clevinger with two outs and no one on base. Cruz is slashing .278/.368/.561 with 17 home runs, 47 RBI, […]


Jorge Polanco Scores Three Runs, Steals Base In Win

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco hit 2-for-4 with three runs scored, a walk, and a steal in Saturday's 10-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. It's a wonder how Polanco didn't register an RBI on a day that the Twins scored 10 runs, but fantasy owners will take the productive game nonetheless. For the season, […]


Max Kepler Cranks Two Homers

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler kept his strong season going in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Kepler hit 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in the contest, his 20th and 21st homers of the year. He has surpassed his previous career high (20) in home runs before the All-Star break in what […]


Nelson Cruz Has Monster Day At Plate

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz broke out the big bat in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Cruz hit 4-for-5 with two homers, a double, and five RBI to propel the Twins to their 53rd win of the season. He blasted a two-run shot off Ivan Nova in the first inning and […]


Jose Berrios Takes Loss Against White Sox

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios took a tough loss in Friday's 6-4 defeat against the Chicago White Sox. Berrios threw 7 and 1/3 innings and gave up nine hits and three earned runs, though three unearned runs scored due to two throwing errors by shortstop Ehire Adrianza. He struck out five and walked no […]


Miguel Sano Swats Two Bombs In Loss

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano provided the only offense for the Twins in their 6-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Sano hit 2-for-4 with two two-run homers and a walk in the game. For the year, Sano is hitting .207/.292/.537 with 11 home runs, 19 RBI, 22 runs scored, and […]


Nelson Cruz Absent From Lineup Friday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz is not in the starting lineup for Friday night's tilt against the Chicago White Sox. Jorge Polanco will bat leadoff at designated hitter and Ehire Adrianza will start at shortstop and hit seventh. Cruz had been on a tear prior to his current seven-game stretch, where he's slashing .233/.361/.300 […]


Jorge Polanco Hits Double, Scores Run

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco went 2-for-7 with a double, a walk, and a run scored in an 18-inning 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The Twins MVP-candidate was proclaimed the American League's starting shortstop in the All-Star Game during the extra innings of this game, though he wasn't able to do […]


Martin Perez Pitches Well In No-Decision

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Martin Perez turned in a solid performance on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays in the Twins 5-2, 18-inning loss. Perez threw seven innings and gave up three hits and two earned runs, while he struck out six batters and walked just one in the contest. Perez is 7-3 on the […]


Mike Minor Throws Complete-Game Gem

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Minor threw his second complete game of the season in a 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night. Minor gave up five hits and just one run, a solo shot in the fourth inning off the bat of Brandon Dixon. He also struck out seven and walked just […]
