Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught four of seven targets for 31 yards and the game-winning touchdown in a 26-20 win over the Saints in the wild-card round.

Adam Thielen Is A Risky DFS Option
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is projected to be a high-risk start for Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks For The Divisional Round
It was a good Wild Card Round from betting purposes, that is of course if you didn't bet it all on the Patriots. It's hard to picture a time when you've seen New England struggle so much on offense, but Tennessee did what they needed to do. Buffalo completely fell apart in the second half […]
Dalvin Cook Rolls On As A Top Option
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was fed 31 touches and turned them into 130 yards and two touchdowns in a wild-card win. He travels cross country on five days rest to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round -- a team that ranks 11th in rush DVOA but has given up at […]
Kirk Cousins Faces Stiff Test On Saturday
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins proved legions of doubters wrong in a thrilling 26-20 overtime win in the wild-card round over the New Orleans Saints.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (illness) was taken off the final injury report for the Divisional Round against the 49ers on Saturday.

Laquon Treadwell Is Inactive
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is inactive for Sunday's Wild Card contest against the New Orleans Saints.

Pivoting […]

Adam Thielen Is A Risky Tournament Option
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen profiles as a high-risk, tournament-only option for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Thielen has missed a lot of action since injuring his hamstring in Week 7 and has been disappointing in his last three games played with just six catches and 66 scoreless yards. He's a […]
Vikings Defense Is Short-Handed Versus Saints
The Minnesota Vikings Defense will be playing with depleted secondary depth on Sunday, as cornerbacks Mackenzie Alexander (knee) and Mike Hughes (neck) have been ruled out against the New Orleans Saints. First-team All-Pro Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) wasn't listed on the team's final injury report, which is clearly a huge boost for this defense. However, the […]
Stefon Diggs Has Upside Against Saints
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs projects as a lower-owned, high-upside tournament option in daily fantasy formats on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. There's an above-average chance that cornerback Marshon Lattimore will be shadowing him, but Diggs has torched the Saints recently as he's averaging 7.6 catches, 116.3 yards, and 1.3 touchdowns over the […]
Kirk Cousins Is A Tournament Option
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins projects as a solid tournament option in daily fantasy formats on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
