Will Reichard Records Another Perfect Kicking Day Week 3

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard made all six of his kicking opportunities in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Houston Texans.

Minnesota Vikings D/ST Rewards With Yet Another Dominant Performance

Minnesota Vikings' D/ST logged another unexpected and incredible game against the Houston Texans in Week 3. The swarming defense, called by defensive coordinator Brian Flores, hassled quarterback C.J. Stroud early and often, as Minnesota had two interceptions and five sacks while allowing only seven points. The Vikings became the first team in 23 years to […]

Jalen Nailor Continues To Impress As Vikings No. 2 Receiver With Another Score

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor caught three of his four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Week 3's blowout of the Houston Texans.

Justin Jefferson's Jams Finger, Touchdown Streak Continues Through Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (finger) put up predictably great numbers in Week 3's game against the Houston Texans.

Aaron Jones Prolific Against The Texans Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones filled the rushing and receiving box score against the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon.

Darnold […]

Aaron Jones Doesn't Carry An Injury Designation Against Houston

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (hip) had a disappointing Week 2, ending the game as the overall RB32 in 0.5 PPR. That finish was a little misleading, however, as he had a goal-line fumble that was ultimately an eight-point swing if he had scored instead of coughing up the ball. Still, the former Green […]

Minnesota Vikings D/ST Expected To Disappoint Week 3

Minnesota Vikings D/ST is the biggest real-life reason the Vikings are 2-0, and they are maybe the biggest positional surprise in fantasy. The first two games saw the Vikings' defense rank in the top-four D/ST units for fantasy each game, the only team that can say that. However, their hands are full in Week 3 […]

Jalen Nailor A Deep-League Flex Option In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor has been a pleasant surprise for the undefeated Vikings offense so far. The third-year wide receiver is one of only five wide receivers to have scored a touchdown in both games for their team to start the year, joining his teammate Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) in that stat category. Nailor […]

Ty Chandler Possible Flex Option Week 3

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler showed some explosive playmaking ability in Week 2, as he turned 10 rushing attempts into 82 yards on the ground, with seven of those carries going for at least five yards. The third-year running back has had at least 10 touches each game for the Vikings so far this […]

Sam Darnold A Viable Superflex Start Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold impressed in back-to-back weeks to open the NFL season. He will look to continue his success against the Houston Texans in Week 3.

What Time is 'Thursday Night Football?' Week 3 NFL Schedule

The NFL has had a really fun first two weeks of the season. Multiple shocking 0-2 teams, multiple shocking 2-0 teams. Trends are starting to form and teams are starting to find their season-long identities. "Thursday Night Football" has been a bit of a mixed bag so far. Week 1's matchup went down to the […]

What Time is Monday Night Football? Week 2 NFL Schedule

The NFL has had an incredible introductory week, filled with exciting highs and demoralizing lows depending on the team you're rooting for. Week 2 is sure to have similar excitement, and the week's final game is one of the more compelling ones on the schedule. Monday Night Football will be an intriguing matchup between a […]

Justin Jefferson Set To Have A Big Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a fairly quiet day salvaged by a second-quarter touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 1. A WR15 finish in half-point per reception leagues likely wasn't the result fantasy managers were hoping for, but anticipate more targets in his direction this week against a much tougher San […]

Sam Darnold Likely To Disappoint In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold surprised many fantasy managers by finishing as the 13th overall QB in Week 1 against the New York Giants and was a hair away from finishing in the top 10 in the position. However, Darnold and the Vikings will face much tougher competition in Week 2 as the San Francisco […]

Minnesota Vikings Defense Set For A Bad Week 2

Minnesota 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.

Will Reichard Not A Viable Streaming Option For Week 2

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard has been close to perfect in games played for the team as he made all but one kick total in the Vikings' preseason games and Week 1's matchup against the New York Giants. Reichard made every kick in Week 1, but sadly for fantasy football managers, they were all extra […]

Jalen Nailor Has Potential Flex Upside In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor is set to start opposite of wide receiver Justin Jefferson for the team now that Jordan Addison (ankle) has been ruled out in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Nailor saw only one target in Week 1's game against the New York Giants, albeit for a 21-yard touchdown, […]

Aaron Jones A Borderline RB2 Against The 49ers

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones made a great debut for his new team against the New York Giants in Week 1, accounting for 109 yards of offense and a rushing touchdown. He will look to build on his Week 1 performance in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Vikings struggled to run […]

What Time is 'Thursday Night Football?' Week 2 NFL Schedule

What an incredible opening week to the 2024 NFL season. Three of the four prime-time games were nail-biters, while Sunday featured a bevy of upsets, dominant wins, and close calls.

Will Reichard Drills Four Extra Points In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard was perfect 4-for-4 in extra-point attempts Sunday’s 28-6 win over the New York Giants. The Vikings were fairly effective at moving the ball against the Giants' defense, though that movement resulted in no field goal attempts for Reichard. The rookie kicker nailed all four of his extra points, although fantasy […]

Minnesota Vikings D/ST Rewards With Incredible Defensive Output

The Minnesota Vikings DST was one of the most streamed defenses in fantasy for Week 1 against the New York Giants and rewarded everyone who picked them up.

Aaron Jones Impresses In Vikings Debut

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones was explosive on the ground against the New York Giants in Week 1. The former Green Bay Packer averaged nearly seven yards per touch as he converted his 14 carries to 94 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 yards on two receptions in the receiving game. Jones was […]

Justin Jefferson Finds The End Zone In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was a clear first-round pick in many fantasy football drafts, though provided only a modest return on investment against the New York Giants. The talented receiver saw only six targets, though turned those looks into four receptions for 59 yards and a three-yard touchdown. Jefferson's day was a far […]

Sam Darnold Efficient In Vikings Debut

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold helped lead the team to a resounding victory against the New York Giants in Week 1.

What Time is Monday Night Football? Week 1 NFL Schedule

Week 1 started with a bang on Thursday night, with the Baltimore Ravens losing by the length of a big toe to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Minnesota Vikings D/ST Must Start In Week 1

The Minnesota Vikings will bring their exotic and confusing defensive scheme on the road against the New York Giants in Week 1, and they are a must-start and should be picked up in every league. The Vikings' defense, led by defensive coordinator Brian Flores, used unique blitz packages last year to confuse opposing offenses in […]

Will Reichard Solid Option At Kicker In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard makes his NFL debut on the road against the New York Giants. Successful kicker plays are often ones on somewhat competent offenses against below-average defenses, and that perfect storm is scheduled to happen in MetLife Stadium this week.
