Vikings Defense - Week 12 Outlook
3 years agoIn their 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings defense gave up 467 yards, including 385 yards and four touchdown passes to Aaron Rodgers. While the opposing quarterback this week, Jimmy Garoppolo, doesn't pose the same threat as Rodgers, the San Francisco 49ers have enough weapons on offense to give the Packers problems. The 49ers enter Week 12 ranked ninth in rushing yards per game while the Packers are ranked 22nd against opposing running backs. That type of running success could open up passing lanes for talented pass-catchers such as receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and tight-end George Kittle. Considering the matchup, fantasy managers would be best advised to look elsewhere for a defense this week.
