Vikings D/ST Has Big Test In Store In Week 17
38 mins agoThe Minnesota Vikings defense will square off in a difficult matchup with the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. The Vikings' D has been a top unit this season – forcing turnovers at one of the higher rates in the league while allowing the third-fewest points (18.4) and second-lowest rushing total per contest (87.1 YPG). However, they'll get their toughest test in quite some time, with a Packers offense scoring the seventh-most points per game (27.5) in the NFL. Green Bay has been particularly effective in rushing the rock (147.3 YPG – fourth-most), so it should be an excellent bout of strength versus strength. For what it's worth, Minnesota intercepted quarterback Jordan Love three times after his return from injury in Week 4. Still, Love tossed four TDs against them. The unit ranks as RotoBaller's D/ST10 ahead of fantasy championship weekend.
