BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-5
ANALYSIS:
The Vikings defense has undergone a major turnaround this season. After a dismal 2022 season in which they allowed 25.4 points per game, they've been much stingier this year ranking fifth in the NFL with just 18.6 points allowed per game.
This Minnesota defense has been very good lately as they are fresh off a shutout of the Las Vegas Raiders last week and allowed just 12 points to the Bears the week before. They have now allowed just one touchdown over their last three games.
Over their last 3 games, the @vikings defense has allowed... 1 touchdown 😳
Will that dominance roll into tomorrow's game in Cincy?

Minnesota has forced a league-leading 19 fumbles, recovering 9 of those for turnovers and returning two of those for touchdowns. The Bengals offense has been improved lately under Jake Browning, but this is still a very young quarterback making only his fourth career start. Expect the Vikings to hold the Bengals in check today and rack up some fantasy points in the process.
