Olabisi 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.

Alexander 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.

Kyle 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 […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Low-End QB1 Against Seattle

Alexander 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.

Vikings Defense Is A Top Play Against Broncos
