Minnesota Vikings Defense Set For A Bad Week 2
3 months agoMinnesota Vikings' D/ST was the second-highest scoring unit in fantasy football in Week 1 against the Giants, but honestly, that says more about the opponent than the Vikings. Minnesota took advantage of a poor offensive line and lousy quarterback play to get multiple turnovers, five sacks, and a defensive touchdown. However, the team is less lucky in Week 2 as they face the San Francisco 49ers. Despite missing all-world running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) in Week 1, the reigning NFC Champions gained over 400 yards of offense and scored 32 points. If you picked up the Vikings D/ST after a strong Week 1, buyers should beware, and fantasy managers should look for a different streaming option for this week.
