Greg Joseph A Starting Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph has the look of a solid starting option in Week 5 after making all five of his field goal attempts in Week 4 to give the Vikings the win. Joseph has been reliable when he has been called upon, making 8-of-10 field goals and 8-of-9 extra points. In a game […]

Vikings Defense A Solid Option In Week 5

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is a solid starting option in Week 5 as they take on a struggling Bears offense. The passing attack for the Bears has been almost non-existent, so there could be limited opportunity to force turnovers with such limited passing volume. However, the Bears offensive line has struggled tremendously so far […]

Irv Smith Jr. A TE2 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. is a TE2 option in Week 5 against the Bears despite some pretty solid target volume the past three weeks. Smith Jr. has seen a combined 18 targets over the last three games but has turned it into just 10 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown. Considering […]

Adam Thielen A Solid Flex Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has some solid fantasy appeal in Week 5 after two straight solid performances where he saw a combined 17 targets. He figures to be second in line for targets behind Justin Jefferson, but he has been able to produce solid numbers the past couple of weeks regardless of this. […]

Justin Jefferson A High-End WR1 In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to build on a season-high 10 receptions on 13 targets in Week 4. The 23-year-old will face a Bears' defense that could potentially be without stud cornerback Jaylon Johnson, so he could be in for another massive performance against a weak Bears defense. Jefferson could be seeing […]

Dalvin Cook Draws Great Matchup In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook draws a great matchup in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears, who have given up a league-high 733 rushing yards (5.1 ypc) through four games. Cook has found the end zone just one time this season but is getting elite usage in the Vikings backfield. The 27-year-old should be […]

Kirk Cousins A Potential QB1 Option In Week 5

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to bounce back in Week 5 after some poor fantasy output in Week 4. Cousins will take on a Bears' defense that has allowed just 674 passing yards, albeit against some poor passing attacks in three out of four of those games. The matchup isn't worrisome for the […]

A month of the NFL season is in the books, but the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football will continue all season.

Is Hayden Hurst A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst had fantasy sleeper status heading into the 2022 season, but after drawing 21 targets through four weeks, he's becoming a trendy tight end waiver add.

Vikings Defense Forces Two Turnovers In Week 4

The Minnesota Vikings' defense forced two fumbles in the team's 28-25 win in Week 4. Despite the two turnovers, the defense didn't look particularly good as Andy Dalton completed 20-of-28 passes for 236 yards in this one. The Vikings D/ST doesn't seem like a reliable option moving forward, but a Week 5 meeting with the […]
