Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoDan Bailey Is A Sneaky Week 13 Play
Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey is a solid starting option for Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have been getting gashed through the air over their last four games, and Kirk Cousins has been among the top passers in the league in that time period. The game has the second-highest expected point total […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoOlabisi Johnson Is The Emergency Option
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught six of nine targets for 35 scoreless yards in Week 12 and has filled in admirably as the No. 2 receiver in Adam Thielen's (hamstring) absence.

Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoAlexander Mattison Shouldn't Be Started In Week 13
Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has made a solid impression in his rookie season, but he can't be trusted as a starting fantasy option with his current role in the offense. Mattison received just three carries and gained five yards in Week 12's close contest against the Broncos. He just doesn't see enough action […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoVikings Defense In Tough Spot On Monday
The Minnesota Vikings Defense has been a consistently solid unit this season, but they'll face a very difficult task in Week 13 and if you have a chance to stream a defense with a better matchup, do it.

Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoStefon Diggs Is An Upside WR2 In Week 13
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to keep the good times rollin' in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoKyle Rudolph Could Have Appeal In Week 13
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has caught 12 of 15 targets for 104 yards and four touchdowns in his last three games played. He has become a reliable option in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) and he can be started as a high-end TE2 if the star wideout is ruled out again in […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoKirk Cousins Is A Low-End QB1 Against Seattle
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has entered the down-ballot MVP conversation with his recent stretch of stellar play. The NFL's current leader in passer rating, Cousins has also compiled an impressive 18/1 TD/INT ratio over his last seven games and his 70.6% completion rate checks in at fourth in the league. He should be able […]

Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoAlexander Mattison Sees Limited Work In Win
Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison was pretty much silent in Week 11 as he had just three carries for five yards in a comeback win over the Denver Broncos.

Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoAlexander Mattison Is An RB4 Again In Week 11
Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison isn't a recommended starting option in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. Though Mattison is a good bet for 7-10 carries on a weekly basis, the Broncos Defense is really tough against the run and they've only gotten better as the season has worn on. The game plan will […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoVikings Defense Is A Top Play Against Broncos
The Minnesota Vikings Defense has been a consistent unit this season despite lacking upside with just one game over 10 fantasy points back in Week 1. They'll get a chance to put up a high total in Week 11 as they take on rookie Brandon Allen and the Denver Broncos on the road. The Broncos […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoKirk Cousins Has Limited Upside In Week 11
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins continued his stretch of solid fantasy production in Week 10 and he's now posted top-12 finishes in five of his last six games. He also holds an impressive 18/3 TD/INT ratio and is completing just under 70% of his passes in what has been a very efficient 2019 campaign overall. […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoStefon Diggs Is A Borderline WR2/WR3 In Week 11
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has had an up-and-down season, to say the least. He had a monster three-week span with 453 receiving yards and three touchdowns, but he has also had six games with three catches or less and less than 50 receiving yards. Though Diggs would normally be a top-15 play with […]
Kyle Ringstad 5 years agoOlabisi Johnson Is A Risky Option Despite No. 2 Role
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson will be stepping in as the No. 2 receiver with Adam Thielen (hamstring) ruled out for Week 11.
