Anthony Barr Says He's Playing Thursday
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) said he is playing on Thursday night in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after tweaking his hamstring in Week 12 and sitting out the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions. Injuries have been a huge problem for Barr, who has played in just eight of 23 games […]
Dalvin Cook Puts In A Limited Practice
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, but he was able to put in a limited practice on Tuesday. While Cook may ultimately miss his second straight game this Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers after dislocating his left shoulder and tearing his labrum in […]
Adam Thielen Absent At Tuesday's Practice
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) was held out of practice once again on Tuesday, which likely means he will be unavailable for the team's Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers as he rehabs his high ankle sprain. In his absence, Justin Jefferson will remain the clear No.1 option and should see 10+ […]

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14: Tyler Conklin, Gerald Everett, Evan Engram
This is not the week for the starting tight end on your fantasy football team to be on bye. The NFL should not made it that four teams had to wait 13 weeks before getting their bye, but this is what fantasy managers must contend with. It is either the last week or second-to-last week […]

Offenses have seemingly come back to life as the 2021 season rolls on. 10 teams scored at least four touchdowns in Week 13.

Patrick Peterson Activated From COVID-19 List
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson has been activated from the COVID-19 list after missing Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The veteran is on track to return to action on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are coming off a 20-19 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Peterson will likely be seeing a lot of […]
Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?
Only eight quarterbacks eclipsed 20 fantasy points in Week 13 with Kyler Murray leading the way, throwing for just 123 yards, two touchdowns and adding two more scores on the ground. Tom Brady did what Tom Brady does, torching the Falcons for 368 yards and four touchdowns to finish as QB-2 and Justin Herbert came […]
K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While K.J. Osborn has been the WR3 of the Vikings all season long, the truth is that he's been heavily used just on a few games while absolutely faded in the others--and the problem is that the latter group of matches outgrows […]
Thursday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Vikings vs Steelers
Last week was filled with touchdowns, and more importantly, fantasy points. Unless you are a Vikings or 49ers fan, the world seems to have returned to normal. Even if you are a Vikings fan, you can’t watch Detroit Lions’ Head Coach Dan Campbell’s reaction to their first victory and not smile. It was a great […]
No Practice For Adam Thielen On Monday
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. Thielen suffered a high ankle sprain early in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions and is highly unlikely to play this Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, Thielen could be looking at a multi-game […]
Dalvin Cook Listed As DNP Monday
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. Cook dislocated his left shoulder and suffered a torn left labrum in Week 12 and sat out in Week 13 as a result. The Vikings aren't ruling Cook out yet for Thursday night against the […]

Week 13 Injury Updates and Fantasy Football Reactions: Adam Thielen, Miles Sanders, Joe Burrow, Logan Thomas
The injuries suffered in Week 13 were mostly kind to running backs but that's likely because every big-time RB is already hurt.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 14 Lightning Round
We're onto December and that means the home stretch of fantasy football regular seasons.

K.J. Osborn Has 47 Yards And A Touchdown In Vikings Loss
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn took advantage of the absence of Adam Thielen with four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions. After five straight games of 20 yards or less, Osborn was probably dropped in most leagues. If Thielen is forced to miss more time, Osborn […]
Tyler Conklin Catches Goes For 56 Yards In Loss To Detroit
Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin came into the Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions in a bit of a slump. He had three consecutive games with three catches or fewer and less than 40 yards per game. The matchup wasn't great against a Detroit defense ranked 14th against opposing tight ends. But when […]
Adam Thielen Has A High-Ankle Sprain
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, an injury he picked up during Sunday's unlikely loss to the Lions. The veteran will undergo further testing on Monday to determine the extent of the issue. However, considering the short turnaround heading into Thursday's matchup against Pittsburgh, it's likely Thielen won't […]
Justin Jefferson Continues Torching Defenses With 182 Yards
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson continued his ascent up the rankings of NFL wide receivers with another monster performance in Week 13. Jefferson entered the matchup against the Detroit Lions as WR5 in PPR leagues and still had season-highs in targets, receptions and yards. Jefferson turned 14 targets into 11 receptions and his 182 […]
Alexander Mattison Totals 124 Yards And A Touchdown
Fantasy managers that held onto Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison after the return of Dalvin Cook were rewarded once again with a workhorse-like performance in Week 13. Although he rarely sees the field when Cook is healthy, there is no significant drop-off when Mattison is called upon to carry the load. Mattison touched the […]
Adam Thielen Sprains His Ankle
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle, according to head coach Mike Zimmer, in his Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Thielen will most likely miss at least one week, especially now that the Vikings are falling out of playoff contention. In Thielen's absence, wide receiver Justin Jefferson surged for […]
Kirk Cousins Compiles 340 Passing Yards In Loss To Lions
Sometimes fantasy managers are better off not watching the game and just being happy with the points their players provide. Such was the case for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' managers in their Week 13 unfathomable loss to the previously winless Detroit Lions. It was an ugly game that will surely have organizational ramifications for […]
