Dalvin Cook, Vikings Agree To Five-Year Deal

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook agreed to terms on a five-year, $63 million deal on Saturday. The deal includes $28 million in guaranteed money for Cook, who made his first Pro Bowl last year after totaling a career-high 1654 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns. It's interesting that the team was willing to commit […]

Can James Robinson Be the Next Phillip Lindsay?

When Leonard Fournette was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, there was a lot of speculation about whether Ryquell Armstead, the second-year back from Temple, would be elevated to the starting position on a run-heavy offense. However, Armstead is still battling with COVID-19 and is not ready for game action, so the Jaguars' first depth chart […]

Waiver Wire Prognostication - Who'll Be Hot Adds After Week 1?

Fantasy football has always been a game about predictions and reactions. We need to be able to predict what might happen and react when it happens (or doesn't). There is no week where that's more pronounced than following Week 1 of the season. Many of our preseason predictions about roles or usage come to fruition […]

Vikings Put Danielle Hunter On Injured Reserve

The Minnesota Vikings placed defensive end Danielle Hunter (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, meaning he'll miss at least the first three games of the season. Hunter hasn't practiced since last month with an undisclosed injury. The former LSU Tiger has 14.5 sacks in each of the last two years, but the Vikings will be […]

Bisi Johnson Earns The Start In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson is listed as the No. 2 receiver on the Vikings depth chart heading into Week 1. Johnson has won the job over first-round pick Justin Jefferson after consistently making splash plays during training camp. It appears the Vikings coaching staff wants to reward that hard work, but Johnson will […]

Justin Jefferson Listed Third On WR Depth Chart

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is listed as third on the wide receiver depth chart heading into the team's Week 1 matchup against the Packers. Jefferson was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft, but for now, he has been supplanted as a starter by teammate Bisi Johnson. Jefferson will carry plenty […]

Danielle Hunter Not Practicing Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (undisclosed) isn't practicing on Wednesday. The Vikings remain optimistic about his timetable for a return, but it doesn't look like that will come in Week 1 against the Packers. Minnesota continues to be cautious with their star pass-rusher, who hasn't practiced since Aug. 14. If […]

Adam Thielen Will See Targets Against Green Bay

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should see plenty of targets Week 1 against the Packers. Thielen's 2019 was derailed by injuries but returns as the unquestioned number one receiver in the Vikings offense. He will go up against a Packers Defense that allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers last season. Fantasy […]

Dalvin Cook Will Be Focal Point Week 1

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook may not have a long-term contract but will be ready to lead the charge on offense in Week 1. On paper, the matchup may seem daunting against a Packers run defense that allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to runners in 2019. But Cook absolutely shredded the Cheeseheads in […]

Kirk Cousins Can't Be Trusted Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will have a difficult matchup Week 1 against the Packers. Cousins really struggled against Green Bay in 2019, passing for only 352 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions across two games against them last season. Green Bay was fantastic suppressing production from opposing passers last year, allowing the fourth fewest […]

Danielle Hunter's Week 1 Status In Doubt

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter's (undisclosed) status for the season opener in Week 1 is very much in doubt. If Hunter practices on Wednesday, he'll likely be limited. His chances of playing against the Packers this weekend could depend on whether he can get in a full practice by Friday. The 25-year-old pass-rusher is […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~175 Overall CURRENT ADP: 200+ (undrafted) ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. out of Alabama finished his rookie season in 2019 with 36 catches for 311 yards and two touchdowns. While those numbers aren't eye-popping, the 21-year-old has been highly touted and is expected to see some progression in his second […]

ADP Showdown: Amari Cooper vs. Adam Thielen

You’re in the middle of the third round of your draft and you need another wide receiver. Maybe you need to get your first wideout that will be your team’s WR1 throughout the season.

Five Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers for 2020

Today, I'm going to be highlighting five wide receivers who currently are being drafted […]

This is the Season to Maximize #AllBenchRB!

Fantasy Bretheren, listen up.  There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello! These suckas each drafted six bench RBs in their league of record to shoot for fantasy gold. Actually I can’t support that last statement, but if you talk to them, tell them they […]

Bisi Johnson (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Do the Vikings have the most booming passing offense in the NFL? Nope. Is Bisi Johnson a WR3 in this attack? Sure thing. See, I know Minny's passing game is not quite as valuable as that of Kansas City and that being the third receiver […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins may not be drafted as a QB1 in upcoming drafts, but the Vikings are banking on him having an elite season. Cousins' numbers dipped last season, going from 30 touchdowns in 2018 to 26 last season, and a passing regression from 4,298 yards to 3,603. Cousins can go on stretches […]
