Vikings Put Cameron Dantzler On COVID List

The Minnesota Vikings placed cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after he tested positive for the virus. Dantzler will need to return two negative tests this week to have a chance at playing in a Week 5 game against the division-rival Detroit Lions at home. So there's a decent chance the Vikings […]

Dede Westbrook Catches One Pass

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught one pass for 17 yards in the Vikings loss to the Browns in Week 4. It has been a very quiet beginning to Westbrook's Vikings career and caught his first pass since Week 1. The veteran is still perhaps trying to get up to game speed after tearing […]

Tyler Conklin Comes Back To Earth

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin caught four passes for 18 yards in the team's loss to the Browns in Week 4. Conklin landed himself in streamer territory after posting 7-70-1 last week but came back to earth in this game. Conklin plays in an effective passing offense up to this point but is the […]

K.J. Osborn Registers Only 26 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught only three passes for 26 yards in the Vikings 14-7 loss to the Browns in Week 4. The Vikings offense struggled mightily after the first drive and Osborn saw seven targets in the game. Osborn has carved out a solid role for himself in an offense that has […]

Dalvin Cook Musters Only 44 Total Yards

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball nine times for 34 yards and added 10 receiving yards in the team's disappointing loss to the Browns in Week 4. Cook was questionable the entire week with an ankle injury and teammate Alexander Mattison actually out-carried Cook 10-to-9. Cook is an unquestioned RB1 but clearly […]

Adam Thielen's Touchdown Streak Snapped

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was held to three catches for only 46 yards in the team's 14-7 loss to the Browns. When Thielen does not find the end zone, his fantasy numbers plummet. The veteran came into the game with four touchdowns but the Vikings offense struggled after the opening drive. Thielen will […]

Justin Jefferson Catches Touchdown In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught six passes for 84 yards with one touchdown in the team's 14-7 loss to the Browns. Jefferson got the Vikings off on the right foot in the first quarter, catching a laser from quarterback Kirk Cousins for a touchdown. The offense would sputter from there but Jefferson now […]

Kirk Cousins Falls Short Against Browns

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 20-of-38 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Vikings 14-7 loss to the Browns. Cousins got the Vikings on the board early with a touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson but it was tough sledding from there. Cousins tried to lead the team down the field […]

Dalvin Cook Exits Against Browns

While the team has made no announcement about his status, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook limped off of the field earlier in Sunday's game and has yet to return, with Alexander Mattison handling the workload on the past few drives. Cook had six carries for 17 yards and two catches for 10 yards. Keep […]

Dalvin Cook Officially Active For Week 4

As expected, Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) will return to the field on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Cook missed Week 3, but is averaging 96 rushing yards per game this season, plus has been targeted 10 times in the passing game. The Browns allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game in the […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 4

Through the first three weeks of the season, the league's top cornerbacks, like Jalen Ramsey, Jaire Alexander and Trevon Diggs, have held receivers in check for the most part. On the other end of things, cornerbacks like Eli Apple, Benjamin St-Juste and Vernon Hargreaves have emerged as guys opposing quarterbacks will likely target on a […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

We're going to keep this train moving here on to Week 4. Maybe this is just me, but I'm constantly torn in both directions once the NFL season starts. On one hand, I can't get enough of it and I can't wait until next Sunday. On the other hand, I want it to slow down […]

Week 4 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a week for the kickers! We saw Justin Tucker make the longest kick in the history of the NFL and for a game-winner, no less. 66 yards off the crossbar, just insane. If that wasn't enough, Mason Crosby gave us another game-winner. This time from 51 yards out. Kickers, truly are the perfect example […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

As good as football has been this young season, the game is also laughable. The league wants these referees to call these ticky-tacky penalties. On the winning touchdown drive for the Chargers, they had a 4th-and-9 from the Chiefs 35 when Justin Herbert's pass was incomplete. But of course, a pass interference was called. It […]

Bear Down: Justin Fields' Fantasy Influence
