Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, burning his former team by scoring the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Jones drew one target but did not have a catch. All things considered, Week 1 was still a success for the veteran […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz performed admirably in relief on Sunday, throwing three touchdown passes as the Vikings scored 29 straight points to rally past Green Bay, 39-22. The journeyman played most of the game after the Packers knocked out starter Kyler Murray (head) with an illegal hit in the first quarter. Despite some early […]

Running back Jordan Mason played a key role in the Minnesota Vikings' emphatic comeback on Sunday, rushing 15 times for 59 yards and a tide-turning touchdown. The second-year Viking scored from four yards away in the fourth quarter to put Minnesota ahead by 10, part of a run of 29 straight points that secured a […]

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson posted a solid day in his team's 39-22 victory against Green Bay by catching four of his five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown. Despite losing quarterback Kyler Murray (head) on a penalized hit, the Vikings still rallied for 29 unanswered points to wrestle away control of the […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson helped lead the charge in Minnesota's second-half barrage of Green Bay, logging eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns, one of which was a game-clinching leap to the pylon for a score in the fourth quarter. The superstar receiver performed well despite yet another quarterback change -- Kyler […]

Playing in his Minnesota Vikings debut, quarterback Kyler Murray should be considered a high-end Superflex option in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Always a rushing threat, the veteran QB is perhaps the biggest fantasy wild card of the season. Murray has been a top-10 fantasy quarterback four times before, but he missed 21 […]

Managers should view Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. as an RB4 when his team plays Green Bay in Week 1. The veteran occupies a defined role as the team's preferred pass-catching option out of the backfield, which should give him some appeal in PPR leagues, but managers will have to wait to see […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is a possible flex option as his team begins the season by playing host to the rival Green Bay Packers. The Georgia Tech product quietly averaged 4.8 yards per carry and finished as half-PPR RB35 last season, which was impressive considering Minnesota's offense spent most of the year in […]

Wide receiver Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings is a clear WR1, as usual, when his team takes on the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 of the NFL season. The former All-Pro's 2025 season was a major letdown, albeit one that still included 1,000 yards receiving despite the Vikings bungling their quarterback room. Jefferson's […]

Wide receiver Jordan Addison should be considered a possible flex option in deeper formats for the Minnesota Vikings' season opener against Green Bay. The fourth-year receiver is coming off career lows in catches, yards, and touchdowns in 2025, but his low output was largely the byproduct of a season during which Minnesota started nine different […]

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings' unknown volume should keep him in the background in most formats when he makes his Minnesota Vikings debut against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1. The veteran's fit with the Vikings is an interesting one. Jennings is coming off back-to-back solid fantasy years in which he was PPR WR24 and […]

Tight end T.J. Hockenson of the Minnesota Vikings should be considered a mid-range TE2 when his team opens the season by playing host to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The veteran has had quite the roller coaster since being traded to the Vikings, posting top-five fantasy seasons in 2022 and 2023 before a major […]

One of the top options in fantasy football during the tenure of defensive coordinator Brian Flores, the Minnesota Vikings D/ST is merely a mid-tier choice in Week 1 when the Green Bay Packers visit U.S. Bank Stadium. Minnesota finished tied for fourth in sacks in the NFL last season and will return 10 of its […]

Coming off a season in which he was named a first-team All-Pro selection, kicker Will Reichard is a starting candidate when the Minnesota Vikings open the season against Green Bay in Week 1. The Alabama product was outstanding in 2025, when he made all 31 of his extra points and 33 of 35 field goal […]

Sure, I like playing fantasy football, but my real favorite pastime is saying that I was right all along. Fantasy preseason is rife with chances to do exactly that, provided you’re willing to take a few calculated risks. During preseason last year, I was particularly high on later-round gems like Harold Fannin Jr. (PPR TE6), […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Demond Claiborne appears to have a solid hold of the RB3 role after starting Friday's game against the Denver Broncos. The rookie rushed eight times for only 21 yards in a 34-6 loss, but he played alongside a heavily limited Vikings offense that played mostly reserves, including fourth quarterback Max Brosmer […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer turned in a lackluster performance in the Vikings' final preseason game at Denver on Friday, which leaves the second-year quarterback on shaky ground as cutdown day approaches. Brosmer played the majority of snaps after J.J. McCarthy (ankle) was ruled out, finishing 20-for-35 for 165 yards and rushing once for one […]

Everyone who has played fantasy football has their stories -- the opposing running back who had a career day against you, the unknown rookie who changed the league, the backup QB who starred for one day -- but the Guillotine format is a special kind of ride.  I have teams in most formats, including dynasty, […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy turned in an uneven preseason game Saturday against Baltimore, finishing 5-for-10 for 81 yards. Playing with the second-string offense, the 23-year-old QB continued his unusual pattern of connecting on difficult throws and missing easier ones. On the Vikings' second drive, he alertly climbed the pocket and fired a 50-yard strike […]

Running back Demond Claiborne of the Minnesota Vikings earned a team-high 12 carries for 34 yards in the club's preseason opener against the New York Giants. Playing mostly behind the Vikings' backups on the offensive line, Claiborne still showed some juice despite limited space to run, including a nine-yard burst that gained a first down […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason continued a strong summer on Saturday against the New York Giants with 17 yards on three carries in the first-team offense's only drive of the day. The second-year Viking has been impressive in training camp as the club appears to be headed for a split backfield that includes veteran […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Myles Price logged an impressive preseason debut by catching all four of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown on Saturday against the New York Giants. An undrafted free agent from Indiana, Price made the Vikings' 53-man roster last season and finished third in the NFL in kick return yards. […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and kick returner Parker Washington (head) was cleared to return after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. The third-year receiver took a hit on a play in the first half and was walked back to the Jacksonville locker room, but passed the evaluation and earned […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars said wide receiver Parker Washington (head) is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's AFC Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old did not catch either of his two targets and carried the ball once for a loss of three in the opening quarter, but headed back to the […]

The Cleveland Browns listed cornerback Denzel Ward (neck) as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The star corner picked up the injury in the first half and left the game. The Browns have nothing to play for in Week 18, so they may exercise caution with one of the foundational players […]

The Tennessee Titans have ruled out rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) from returning to Sunday's season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie took a big collision on a touchdown run in the first quarter, departed the game, and the club took no chances with their franchise quarterback's throwing shoulder thereafter. As a rookie, Ward […]

The Tennessee Titans designated starting rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) as questionable to return to Sunday's game at Jacksonville with an injury to his throwing shoulder. The rookie scored a rushing touchdown that gave the Titans an early lead, during which he broke the plane through heavy contact. Ward was forced out of the game, […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) was able to return to Sunday's AFC South clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars after being designated as questionable. The veteran caught one of his two targets before leaving the game with discomfort in his leg, but he returned later in the first half. Pittman quickly developed chemistry […]

The Cleveland Browns said that rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Shedeur Sanders earlier in the game to give Cleveland the lead, but departed a short time later. Fannin was originally listed as questionable […]

The Carolina Panthers ruled out tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) from returning to Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. In an ugly scene, Sanders was engaged as a blocker when running back Rico Dowdle fell into the back of his leg. The Panthers quickly ruled Sanders out, leaving Tommy Tremble likely to see an increase […]
