The Minnesota Vikings Defense is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for the D/ST position. Target them as a free agent add off waivers for DST in Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Vikings are fresh off of pitching a shutout against the Raiders in Week 14, along with four sacks and three turnovers. The Bengals are a tough team to rank as a DST opponent because of how good Jake Browning has been since taking over for Joe Burrow.

Typically, a sudden change to a backup QB forces us to qualitatively adjust that team’s rank because the data creating my rankings mostly includes games with the starter being healthy. But Browning has not been the QB downgrade everyone assumed he would be. But we still consider the Bengals a positive DST matchup, and the Vikings have thrived in positive matchups, averaging 13.4 PPG in their five games against teams currently ranked 17th to 32nd versus DSTs.
