Vikings Defense A Potential Streamer In Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a potential streaming option as they take on the Commanders in Week 9. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke has surprisingly played well during his time as the starter for Washington, but we saw him struggle at times during the 2021 season, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Vikings […]

Greg Joseph A Streaming Option In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a risky streaming option in Week 9 as he has connected on just one field goal in his last three games. Joseph is one-for-four over that span, as he has been an unreliable option on a weekly basis. He has been perfect on attempts within 49 yards but has […]

T.J. Hockenson A Low-End TE1 In Vikings Debut

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to start off strong with his new team against the Commanders in Week 9, who have allowed the second-fewest points to tight ends this season. It is unknown how much playing time Hockenson will get in his first game in a new offense, so there definitely is […]

Adam Thielen A Flex Option Versus Commanders

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will find his way into the flex discussion against a beatable Commanders' secondary in Week 9, as the veteran has seen 31 targets over the past four games. Thielen, who has been notorious for finding the end zone, has only scored two touchdowns this season. However, his usage suggests […]

Justin Jefferson An Elite WR1 Option Versus Commanders

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to find the end zone through the air for the first time since Week 1 as the Vikings travel to Washington. Jefferson has 34 catches for 506 yards in his past four games, so he has been able to provide WR1 value despite having trouble scoring touchdowns […]

Dalvin Cook Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will look to build on a strong past three games, as the Pro-Bowler has scored four touchdowns over this span after a slow start to the season. He carved up the Cardinals' defense in Week 8, as he recorded his first 100-yard game this season. Going up against the […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Against Commanders

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to build on a solid performance from Week 8 as he will lead his offense against the Commanders in Week 9. Cousins is coming off a 254-yard, three-total touchdown performance, as he has cemented himself as a weekly QB1 option, which has been a fairly thin position so […]

Greg Joseph Makes Four Extra Points In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph had his only field goal attempt blocked, and made four of five extra point attempts in the team's 34-26 win over the Cardinals. Joseph has been reliable kicking within 40 yards this season but is now one for six when kicking from 50+ yards. The 28-year-old is nothing more than […]

Vikings Defense Records Four Sacks, Two Interceptions

The Minnesota Vikings defense recorded four sacks and picked off Kyler Murray twice in the team's 34-26 win in Week 8. They surrendered 326 passing yards and 78 yards on the ground, so the turnovers and sacks helped salvage a potentially poor performance for fantasy managers. Moving forward, the Vikings D/ST seems like nothing more […]

Adam Thielen Catches Six Passes In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught six of seven targets for 67 yards in Week 8 as he logged his sixth straight game with at least seven targets. The veteran has been playing his way into the weekly FLEX discussion, as he has been able to once again establish himself as the WR2 behind […]

Justin Jefferson Finishes With 98 Yards In Win

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught six of eight targets for 98 yards in the team's Week 8 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. Jefferson has failed to record a receiving score since all the way back in Week 1, but he has been able to produce elite fantasy numbers despite this. The third-year […]

Dalvin Cook Gets Loose For 141 Yards In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 20 times for a season-high 111 rushing yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-26 win over the Cardinals.

Kirk Cousins Throws For 232 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-36 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns while adding 22 yards and another score on the ground. Cousins took advantage of a good matchup in this one and rewarded his fantasy managers with solid QB1 numbers. Moving forward, Cousins figures to continue having QB1 value, and fantasy managers […]

Matt Prater Perfect In Return To Action

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater made both of his field goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in his return to action in Week 8. His longest make came from 44 yards out, as he didn't miss a beat despite limited action in this one. Moving forward, Prater looks like a reliable streaming option, but he […]

Cardinals Defense Surrenders 34 Points In Loss

The Arizona Cardinals defense allowed 208 passing yards and 173 rushing yards on the way to allowing 34 points in the team's Week 8 loss. They had no answer for Dalvin Cook, who totaled 111 rushing yards on 5.6 yards per carry. Moving forward, the Arizona D/ST does not look like a reliable fantasy option. […]

Zach Ertz Finds End Zone In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz caught four passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 loss to the Vikings. Ertz only saw five targets in this one, as DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore combined for 21 targets on Kyler Murray's 44 pass attempts. The veteran will continue to be a must-start […]

Rondale Moore Scores In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore caught seven of eight targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 loss to the Vikings. He added two rushing attempts for 12 yards, as he turned in quite an impressive performance for fantasy managers. Operating as the slot receiver, Moore should continue to have weekly […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches 12 Passes For 159 Yards In Loss

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught 12 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 8 loss to the Vikings. In his second game back, Hopkins was the clear No. 1 option in the Arizona offense, as Kyler Murray looked his way 13 times in this one. Moving forward, the veteran […]

Eno Benjamin Totals 45 Yards In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin carried the ball nine times for 22 yards and caught four passes for 23 yards in the team's Week 8 loss to the Vikings. Benjamin was extremely inefficient on the ground, as Kyler Murray led the team in rushing yards in this one. His fantasy value will be dependent […]

Cardinals Defense Not A Good Option In Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals D/ST is a risky starting option in Week 8 as they take on the Vikings on the road. This is a defensive unit that just gave up 361 yards and four touchdowns to Andy Dalton, but they were bailed out by two defensive touchdowns late in the second half. They have given […]

Zach Ertz A Must-Start TE1 In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz is a must-start TE1 option in Week 8 as the Cardinals travel to take on the Vikings. They have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season, giving Ertz even more appeal than he already has. He has a legitimate chance to serve as the No. 2 […]

Rondale Moore Looks To Bounce Back In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore will look to bounce back in Week 8 after catching just one pass for 31 yards on two targets in Week 7. Moore should get back into his slot role with Robbie Anderson taking over Marquise Brown's role on the outside, so fantasy managers can expect him to be […]

DeAndre Hopkins A WR1 Option In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will look to build off a strong season debut, as he caught 10 passes for 103 yards in Week 7. Hopkins will be the primary option in the passing game as Marquise Brown continues to be sidelined, as he was targeted 14 times by Kyler Murray last week. The […]

Eno Benjamin A Solid RB2 Against Vikings

Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin will once again be a solid RB2 option as James Conner (ribs) will miss his third consecutive game. Benjamin totaled 115 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Saints, so he has shown he can produce in a starting role out of the backfield. The former […]

Kyler Murray A Mid-Range QB1 in Week 8

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will look to lead his team to their second-straight win in Week 8 as they travel to Minnesota. Murray has failed to throw at least two touchdowns since Week 4 but has taken advantage of his dual-threat ability in the past three games as he has racked up 172 rushing […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Starting Option In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has the look of a solid starting option in the kicker slot in Week 8, as he should have some chances to put points up against a weak Cardinals defense. Joseph has connected on nine of his 13 field goal attempts this season, with his longest connection going for 56 […]

Vikings Defense A Risky Streaming Option In Week 8

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a risky streaming option in Week 8 against the Cardinals, as they have allowed the 10th-most passing yards this season despite already having their bye week. The Cardinals offense hasn't exactly been a terrifying matchup this season, but quarterback Kyler Murray and receiver DeAndre Hopkins looked to be on […]

Irv Smith Jr. A TE2 In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. is a TE2 option against the Cardinals, despite them allowing the second most points to tight ends this season. Smith has been clearly behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen for targets, while Dalvin Cook has had a significant workload through their six games this season. The big tight […]
