Good Matchup Facing J.J. McCarthy In Return To Lineup

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) is back in the lineup and facing one of the NFL's worst defenses in the Washington Commanders, but should be considered a volatile QB2 option for fantasy lineups.

Cloudy Week 14 Outlook For Aaron Jones Sr.

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) of the Minnesota Vikings does not have an injury designation when the Vikings play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14, but he should be considered a risky flex option for fantasy lineups.

Lineup Appeal For Jordan Mason In Week 14

Running back Jordan Mason of the Minnesota Vikings enters a Week 14 game with some lineup appeal as an RB3/flex candidate with the Washington Commanders coming to U.S. Bank Stadium.

Prime Matchup For Justin Jefferson, But Can Vikings Capitalize?

Fantasy managers who roster Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson ahead of the Week 14 game against Washington will be asking themselves what will happen when a very movable object meets an even more stoppable force.

Jordan Addison Brings Risk and Potential in Week 14

The Minnesota Vikings will take on the struggling defense of the Washington Commanders in Week 14, which brings both potential and risk for wide receiver Jordan Addison.

Languishing Vikings Offense Dampens Outlook For Jalen Nailor

After the Minnesota Vikings' offensive struggles reached a new low in Week 13, wide receiver Jalen Nailor should be considered a high-risk option when the Vikings play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14.

T.J. Hockenson a Low-End Option in Week 14

Tight end T.J. Hockenson of the Minnesota Vikings has a strong matchup against a bad Washington Commanders defense in Week 14, but fantasy managers should consider him a TE2 option due to the team's continued struggles on offense.

More Of The Same For Will Reichard In Week 14

The 2025 season has been the same story for Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard: he's been excellent when the team has needed him, but a major regression on offense has made him an average fantasy play most weeks. More than 17% of the Vikings' drives have ended in turnovers, far and away the worst rate […]

Vikings D/ST Middle of the Pack Against Commanders

Now that the biggest question facing the Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams has been answered -- they will see the return of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) in Week 14 -- they can be considered a slightly above-average fantasy play for the week. Washington is third in the league in rushing yards per game and […]

Disastrous Debut For Max Brosmer

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer had a forgettable first NFL start, throwing four interceptions in a disastrous 26-0 loss at Seattle.

Inept Offense Leads To Four Receiving Yards For Justin Jefferson

Playing alongside an undrafted rookie at quarterback, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught just two of six targets for four yards in a 26-0 loss on Sunday at Seattle.

Sauce Gardner Helped to Locker Room With Knee Injury

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner (knee) headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with an apparent injury to his left knee.

Max Brosmer An Unknown Option In First NFL Start

The Minnesota Vikings will turn to undrafted rookie Max Brosmer in Week 13 at Seattle, but fantasy managers should consider him the single biggest risk of the weekend.

Aaron Jones Sr. On Starting Fringe In Risky Week 13 Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. has been solid when available, but a bad draw in Week 13 against Seattle makes him a risky start in fantasy lineups.

Jordan Mason A Major Risk In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is far down the list of fantasy options with his offense in rough shape as it prepares to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13.

Jalen Nailor Far Behind Other Week 13 Options

As the Minnesota Vikings prepare to start an undrafted rookie quarterback, Jalen Nailor is a low-end wide receiver option in Week 13 at Seattle.

Uphill Battle For T.J. Hockenson At Seattle

The Minnesota Vikings' season has gone from bad to worse, and tight end T.J. Hockenson now finds himself in TE3 territory as the club travels to Seattle in Week 13.

Aaron Jones Sr. Limited By Lack Of Offense In Week 12

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. finished Sunday with 41 yards on nine carries and caught three of four targets for 19 yards as the Vikings lost convincingly, 23-6, on Sunday at Green Bay.

D.K. Metcalf Questionable to Return With Ankle Injury

The Pittsburgh Steelers said that wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to an ankle injury.

Falcons Could be Cautious With Drake London

The Atlanta Falcons could opt to be cautious with wide receiver Drake London (knee) in the weeks to come, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The former USC star is dealing with a PCL injury, which Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said would keep London on a week-to-week basis. If the Falcons lose to […]

Jordan Love Playing Through Shoulder Injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) is playing through a sprained AC joint injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
