Andre Patterson, Adam Zimmer To Serve As Co-D Coordinators

The Minnesota Vikings named Andre Patterson and Adam Zimmer as co-defensive coordinators on Monday. Patterson and Zimmer have both been helping coach the Vikings Defense since 2014. They'll take over a strong defensive unit that allowed 341.6 yards per game, 233.6 passing yards per game, 108 rushing yards per game and only 18.9 points allowed […]

Gary Kubiak To Be Vikings Offensive Coordinator

The Minnesota Vikings are turning to Gary Kubiak, who has been an assistant head coach and offensive advisor, as their next offensive coordinator, according to sources. Minnesota's previous offensive coordinator, Kevin Stefanski, has left to become the Browns head coach. Not much will change in Minnesota with Kubiak at the helm of the offense, but […]

The King's Keeper Corner: NFL Postseason Impacts on Player Outlooks

With a break in the postseason NFL action, it is time to reflect on what we have seen in the playoffs so far and how certain performances will affect fantasy football outlooks in keeper and dynasty formats. How players respond and what they deliver at the most intense and critical times of the season can […]

Biggest Busts of 2019: Tight End

2019 was not the record-breaking season for tight ends 2018 was. San Francisco’s George Kittle (most receiving yards for a TE in a season) and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz (most receptions for a TE in a season) did not break the records they set last season, although both were fine for fantasy players. Kansas City’s Travis […]

Tight End ADP Winners and Losers: 2019 Season Review

I've always believed that it is easier to lose a fantasy championship than to win it on draft day. It makes sense, as sure-fire players are expected to reward their owners with a lower risk-factor than the other way around and thus they're always drafter earlier. If they put up a season-long dud, though, you'll […]

Biggest Breakouts of 2019: Running Back

The 2019 fantasy football was filled with plenty of surprises across the board. Between guys like Devante Parker breaking out and David Johnson being a total dud, there was plenty of action that kept the fantasy season interesting. At the running back position, there were some very interesting young names that took off and broke […]

Biggest Busts of 2019: Wide Receivers

After a very interesting season of fantasy football action, many owners were left with a bitter taste in their mouth from a few of the “elite” NFL wide receivers. While Michael Thomas dominated and Julio Jones was his usual reliable self, not all was good if you played it safe by taking a receiver early. […]

Quarterback Risers and Fallers: 2019 Season Review

This article will examine the biggest risers and fallers at the quarterback position, which proved to be the most impactful in fantasy leagues as is often the case. Of the top-25 players in fantasy this season, 18 of them played the QB position and none of the 18 scored less than 280 fantasy points on […]

Strategies that Worked (or Not) in 2019 Fantasy Football

Everyone's an expert before the season begins. Our sleepers are all going to pan out, we know who to avoid, and we'll easily compensate for any bad luck through trades or waivers during the year. Then fantasy football happens. That means everything that can go wrong will go wrong and that high-floor player on a […]

DFS Wide Receivers To Target In The Conference Champinships

In the Divisional Round of the playoffs Davante Adams dominated the Seahawks and came through as the top wide receiver on the week. The Seahawks remained in cover-1 for most of the game and they simply couldn't stop Adams who was able to beat his man all day. Marshawn Lynch scored two touchdowns against the Packers last week, […]

For the four teams that were eliminated in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, the offseason has begun.

Owners in dynasty leagues have started to mull over their decisions.  How some guys perform in the playoffs can certainly alter […]

Vikings Defense Allows 185 Rushing Yards

The Minnesota Vikings Defense ended the season on a less-than-stellar note, allowing 27 points and a whopping 185 rushing yards in a 27-10 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers. They notched an interception, a fumble recovery, and two sacks, but they gave us chunk gains on the ground all day and lost the time of […]

Kyle Rudolph Quiet In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph had a tough ending to his season as he caught just two of three targets for four yards in the 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Rudolph's low volume was a product of the Vikings' inability to get anything going all day as the 49ers Defense held Kirk […]

Adam Thielen Has Five Catches For 50 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught five of seven targets for 50 yards in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday. Thielen didn't appear to be slowed down by his recent injury but was unable to get much going as the 49ers Defense suffocated the Vikings offense all game long. Thielen […]

Stefon Diggs Has Productive Game

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught two of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers. Diggs was the only productive player for the Vikings from a fantasy standpoint as he caught a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Diggs finished with 63 catches for […]

Dalvin Cook Gets Shut Down In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had nine carries for 18 yards in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He added six catches on eight targets for eight yards. Cook was continuously stymied by unrelenting 49ers' defensive front as the Vikings' offensive line was simply overmatched. This was an absolutely miserable ending to […]

Kirk Cousins Held To 172 Yards In Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 29 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional round. He also tossed one interception in the defeat. The 49ers Defense pressured Cousins all game long, and the Vikings' inability to get the running game going […]

Adam Thielen Is Active Against 49ers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is active for Saturday's Divisional round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Thielen suffered a cut to his ankle on Wednesday that required stitches, but he will suit up for the do-or-die game, as expected. Stefon Diggs (illness) is also active. Both receivers face a daunting matchup in […]

DFS Wide Receivers To Target In The Divisional Round

In the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs, there were several disappointing performances from quarterbacks which contributed to low production from some wide receivers. D.K. Metcalf ended the week as the No. 1 receiver and was a bright spot, but on the low side, Mohamed Sanu was absolutely dreadful, hauling in just one of […]

NFL DFS Cash Game Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Divisional)

The Divisional Round of the playoffs is upon us.

Adam Thielen Expected To Wear Protective Padding

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is expected to wear protective padding around his stitched-up ankle in the Divisional game against the 49ers on Saturday, according to a source. Thielen is questionable to play, but all signs point to him being active in this big game. He had seven catches for 100-plus yards in […]

Adam Thielen Should Be Able To Play

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) isn't expected to do much until the Divisional game against the 49ers on Saturday, but he should be able to play despite needing stitches for a cut he suffered in practice earlier this week. There's optimism around Thielen, but the team doesn't know how his stitches will hold […]
