Vikings D/ST A Risky Play Vs. Detroit

The Minnesota Vikings have an exciting meeting with the Detroit Lions on tap for Sunday Night Football in Week 18.

The Vikings have intercepted at least one pass in […]

Will Reichard A Top Option In Week 18

Minnesota Vikings placekicker Will Reichard is an excellent play this Sunday in a divisional bout with the Detroit Lions. The rookie missed another two kicks in last weekend's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers -- 43- and 57-yard field-goal tries that both doinked out -- to bookend his performance. Still, he hit his other […]

T.J. Hockenson A TE1 Despite Stiff Divisional Test

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will get a tough matchup this Sunday night in a road tilt with the Detroit Lions. Hockenson had a nice total his last time out in a win against the Green Bay Packers, but he'll have a less vulnerable outing in store against a Lions defense that's limited TEs […]

Jalen Nailor A Fringe Flex Option Vs. Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor gets an exploitable spot in his team's meeting with the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

Jordan Addison A Strong Week 18 Play

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison should be in store for another productive outing in Sunday night's divisional clash with the Detroit Lions. The second-year wideout has improved in his sophomore campaign, generating a modest 4.4 receptions and 62.5 yards per game compared to 4.1 and 53.5 from a season ago. After a shaky start […]

Justin Jefferson Set For Huge Day Vs. Detroit

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is primed for a massive outing this Sunday in his team's road matchup with the Detroit Lions. The LSU product reached 1,400 receiving yards for the fourth time in five years in last weekend's win over the Green Bay Packers. He's now tied for the third-most 1,400-yard seasons in […]

Aaron Jones Good To Go, A Fringe RB1 Option In Week 18

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (quad) is without designation for Sunday night's divisional clash with the Detroit Lions.

However, on Friday, he was a full participant and enters the […]

Sam Darnold A Stellar Start In Season Finale

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold is an excellent play in Sunday night's meeting with their division-rival Detroit Lions. The former first-round pick has been a revelation in 2024, working his way to 4,153 yards and 35 passing scores – obliterating his previous career bests. Those numbers are good enough for fourth and fifth amongst league […]

Hunter Henry Starts The Week Limited

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (foot) logged a limited session in the team's first practice of the week. Henry hurt his foot in Week 17's blowout loss -- a 40-7 rout against his former team, the Los Angeles Chargers. He commanded just two targets and participated in only 30 snaps in the loss. […]

Ameer Abdullah Picks Up DNP On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (foot) was listed as a non-participant to kick off this week of practice. The 31-year-old produced the best rushing total of his career in Sunday's 25-10 win against the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, Abdullah sustained a foot injury early in the fourth quarter, or he'd have had an […]

Tee Higgins Logs Another Limited Session

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day ahead of his team's road meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Clemson product has been dealing with knee and ankle injuries for a few weeks now, though it hasn't stopped him from being effective on the […]

Joe Burrow Limited Again Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist, knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's team practice. This has been the veteran's routine for a few weeks now -- logging a limited session or two since picking up a knee injury in Cincinnati's win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14. Fortunately, it hasn't forced […]

Anthony Richardson's Week 18 Status Uncertain

According to head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts are still unsure if quarterback Anthony Richardson (back, foot) will start in Week 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Mack Hollins Totals 33 Yards In Rout Of Jets

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins brought in both of his targets for 33 yards in his team's 40-14 drubbing of the New York Jets. The 31-year-old commanded just two looks on a day when quarterback Josh Allen's pass attempts were down again -- tossing 27 during an outing in which they controlled from start […]

Tyler Boyd's Performance In Loss Negligible

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught 2-of-4 targets in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old was a non-factor in Week 17, notching his fourteenth outing in 2024 with three or fewer receptions. It's unlikely that the veteran fell off so drastically; instead, questionable quarterback play is the cause of his subpar […]

We made it. Whether your fate is already sealed heading into tonight's matchup or hinges on one of the many fantasy-relevant assets partaking in the Detroit vs. San Francisco game on Monday Night Football -- Week 17 was weird.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor hauled in all five of his targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win against the Green Bay Packers.

T.J. Hockenson Posts 68 Yards Vs. Green Bay

Jordan Addison Hits Pay Dirt Again

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison corralled 6-of-8 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over their division-rival Green Bay Packers.

Jakobi Meyers Snags Third TD In Week 17 Win

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers reeled in five of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in his team's 25-10 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old led all Raiders pass-catchers with his target total and was second to tight end Brock Bowers in catches and receiving yardage. It was the […]

Aaron Jones Picks Up Quad Injury In Win Over Former Team

Per head coach Kevin O'Connell, Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (quad) suffered a quad contusion in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers. The 30-year-old was apparently stepped on, forcing him to miss a stretch before halftime. He'd return to the game in the third quarter but sat out again in the fourth […]

Tua Tagovailoa Not Expected To Need Surgery

According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, surgery is "not currently on the table" regarding quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's hip injury. The 26-year-old picked up the ailment in their loss to the Texans two weeks ago and was able to play through it in Week 16. However, that was not the case Sunday after a […]

Jordan Hicks Leaves Early With Concussion

Per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal, Cleveland Browns linebacker Jordan Hicks (concussion) was forced from Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins early due to a concussion and did not return.

Justin Jefferson Has Another Strong Showing

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 8-of-11 targets for 92 yards in his team's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers. Ho-hum. The fantasy stalwart was solid again, recording his fifth straight appearance with at least seven receptions and 73 receiving yards. The only thing missing from his line was a touchdown. Despite […]

Aaron Jones A Non-Factor In Week 17 Win

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones handled 12 carries for 47 yards in his team's 27-25 win against the Green Bay Packers. He chipped in another 30 yards on four of five receiving.

Sam Darnold Lights Up Packers For Ninth Straight Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 33 of 43 passes for a career-high 377 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. reeled in all eight of his targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 30-24 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

James Conner Questionable To Return With Knee Injury

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday night's meeting with the Los Angeles Rams. The 29-year-old came into this weekend battling through a knee injury he picked up in Week 16's loss to the Carolina Panthers and apparently isn't entirely over it. Per the broadcast, he's available on the […]
