Kirk Cousins Draws Solid Matchup In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins looks like a must-start QB1 option in Week 3 as the veteran takes on the Los Angeles Chargers at home. Cousins has thrown for 708 yards and six touchdowns in the first two games of 2023, and he now faces the Chargers' secondary that has given up the most passing […]

Greg Joseph A Solid Option In Season Opener

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph looks like a solid streaming option in Week 1 as the Vikings take on the Buccaneers at home. Joseph converted 26-of-33 field goals last year, but he wasn't all that reliable kicking from deep, as he converted just 4-of-10 from 50+ yards. However, fantasy managers can treat him as a […]

Vikings D/ST A Risky Start In Week 1

The Minnesota Vikings D/ST looks like a risky unit to insert into fantasy lineups this weekend, as they are just a season removed from allowing the second-most passing yards. Baker Mayfield isn't exactly a scary matchup for a defense, however a solid weapon group of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rachaad White is enough reason […]

T.J. Hockenson An Elite TE1 Option Versus Buccaneers

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to build on his strong finish to the 2022 season after being acquired by the Vikings midseason from the Detroit Lions. In 10 games after being traded, the 26-year-old posted 60 receptions on 86 targets for 519 yards and three touchdowns. Hockenson has cemented himself as an […]

Jordan Addison A Risky Play In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to make an impression in Week 1, as the 23rd-overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft makes his NFL debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Addison will join one of the league's better, and more importantly, pass-happy offenses, but there will be no shortage of competition for […]

Justin Jefferson A Top Fantasy Option In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to pick up right where he left off in his Offensive Player of The Year campaign a season ago, as the Vikings take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. The fourth-year receiver out of LSU led the league in receptions and receiving yards last year, putting […]

Alexander Mattison A Solid RB2 Option In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to start his first season as the Vikings' lead-back on the right foot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. The Buccaneers have had a stingy run defense in seasons past, however, they were a middling run-stopping unit in 2022 giving up the 15th most rushing […]

Kirk Cousins A Low-End QB1 In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to get the 2023 campaign started on a positive note in Week 1 against the Tom Brady-less Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Blake Proehl caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in the team's 18-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals to close out the preseason.

Minnesota Vikings running back DeWayne McBride carried the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown in the team's 18-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals as the preseason ended on Saturday.

Jaren Hall Throws For 178 Yards In Preseason Finale

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall completed 16-of-27 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown in the team's 18-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in the preseason finale on Saturday.

Jalen Reagor Leads Vikings In Targets In Preseason Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Reagor paced the team in targets during Saturday night's 24-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans, as the 24-year-old turned five targets into two catches for 10 yards.

DeWayne McBride Scores In Preseason Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back DeWayne McBride carried the ball six times for 18 yards and a touchdown in the team's 24-16 loss to the Titans on Saturday night. The rookie caught his only target for an 11-yard gain, as he was out-touched 11 to seven by Ty Chandler in this one. The 2023 seventh-round pick […]

Ty Chandler Leads Minnesota Backfield In Second Preseason Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler carried the ball 11 times for 24 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. His longest carry went for seven yards, as it was a tough night for the Minnesota backfield as a whole in the 24-16 loss. Chandler is competing for playing time with Kene Nwangwu […]

Nick Mullens Throws For 151 Yards In Preseason Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens completed 13-of-23 passes for 151 yards in the 24-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the team's second preseason game on Saturday.

Greg Joseph Struggles In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made just one of his three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point attempts as the Vikings were blown out 41-17 on the road at Lambeau Field. Joseph's lone make was a 21-yard kick after the Vikings offense failed to find the end zone after being gifted 1st and goal […]

Vikings Defense Struggles To Stop Run In Week 17 Loss

The Minnesota Vikings D/ST struggled in Week 17, as they allowed 163 yards on the ground and 159 passing yards to Aaron Rodgers in this one. They recorded just one sack and weren't able to force any turnovers, so it was a very underwhelming performance for any fantasy managers that started them. Their defense has […]

T.J. Hockenson Targeted 12 Times In Loss

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught seven of 12 targets for 59 yards in the team's 41-17 loss to the Packers. The former Lion led the team in targets in this one, but he wasn't able to produce much considering how out of sync the Minnesota offense was all game long. His usage since […]

K.J. Osborn Finds The End Zone In Week 17 Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught all seven of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 loss to the Packers. Osborn finished second on the team in targets behind T.J.

Justin Jefferson Held To One Catch In Week 17 Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught one of his five targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the packers, as the third-year stud was held without a catch for the entire first half of this game. This performance comes as a surprise given how dominant he has been all season long, especially […]

Dalvin Cook Duds In Week 17 Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook finished Sunday's 41-17 loss with nine carries for 27 yards and two receptions for an additional 17 yards. Cook's workload was limited due to the bad game script, which was ultimately the reason he wasn't able to get anything going in this one. He was stuffed at the goal […]

Kirk Cousins Struggles In Week 17 Blowout Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 18-of-31 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 blowout loss to the Packers.

Cardinals Defense Surrenders 20 Points In Week 17 Loss

The Arizona Cardinals' defense allowed 20 points in the Week 17 loss to the Falcons, as they surrendered 166 yards through the air and 132 yards on the ground. They have been hard to trust in fantasy lineups all season, as their secondary has continually been unable to make it tough on opposing teams. They […]

Matt Prater Makes Four Field Goals In Loss

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater made four out of five field goal attempts in Week 17 as the Cardinals came up short versus the Falcons. Prater was able to convert from 57 yards out, which beat his season-high of 56 yards prior to this game. The veteran has been a very reliable option to slot […]

Trey McBride Leads Cardinals In Receiving Versus Falcons

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride posted the best performance of his young career in Week 17 as he caught seven of 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown. He was clearly one of David Blough's most trusted pass-catchers in this one, as he tied Greg Dortch for the team lead in targets. Moving […]

Marquise Brown Catches Six Passes In Week 17 Loss

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown caught six passes for 61 yards on nine targets in the team's 20-19 loss to the Falcons in Week 17.

David Blough Throws For 222 Yards In Loss

Arizona Cardinals quarterback David Blough completed 24-of-40 passes in the team's Week 17 loss, totaling 222 yards and a touchdown. The inexperienced former Detroit Lion didn't turn the ball over in this one, so all in all it was a pretty solid performance considering the circumstances. He completed 15 of his first 20 pass attempts, […]

Greg Dortch Looks To Build On 10-Reception Performance

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch will look to keep rolling in Week 17 after he caught 10 passes for 98 yards on 11 targets in the Week 16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers. Dortch could see another heavy volume game if DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is ruled out, so he could be on the flex […]
