Fantasy Playoffs Passing Leaderboards: Next Gen Stats

It's over. The season is over. I can't believe my eyes, but they're telling me pretty clearly that we're past Week 16 and that's a wrap for our fantasy football adventures in the year 2019. I still remember those days thinking about untapped potential, impossible expectations, and lifting trophies just before feasting in back-to-back Christmas […]

Week 16 Surprises? Takeaways and Overreactions

In Week 16, the quarterback position was kind of a mess. Jameis Winston and Deshaun Watson were playing against each other in a potential smash spot as each opposing defense performed consistently poorly against the pass throughout the season. Instead, both Winston and Watson struggled in what amounted to an exciting, but disappointing game. Daniel […]

Kyle Rudolph Tallies One Catch

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught one of two targets for seven yards in Week 16's 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings threw 31 times but the increased volume did not benefit Rudolph as he continues to profile as a touchdown-or-bust option at the position. Rudolph will again be an uninspiring […]

Adam Thielen Invisible In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen had zero catches on four targets in a tough 23-10 defeat to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. He added one carry for two yards in what was a severely disappointing effort from the sixth-year receiver. This was Thielen's second game back from a lengthy injury absence, but […]

Stefon Diggs Hauls In Sixth Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught three of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Week 16's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Diggs was also 0-for-1 passing as he overthrew a wide-open Kirk Cousins on a reverse pass. Diggs caught a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter and was really the […]

Mike Boone Disappoints In Spot Start

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone carried 11 times for 28 yards in Week 16's 23-10 defeat against the Green Bay Packers. He added one catch for five yards. Boone, drawing the start with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) out, failed to deliver and was phased out of the offense entirely in the […]

Kirk Cousins Underwhelms In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 16 of 31 passes for 122 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a dismal 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Cousins just couldn't get anything going all night as he was inaccurate and plagued by an offensive line that got thoroughly dominated. Cousins' touchdown pass was a […]

Alexander Mattison Is Inactive On Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is officially inactive for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. This news sets the stage for Mike Boone to lead the backfield and handle the majority of running back touches against a Packers Defense that ranks 25th in rush DVOA and fantasy points allowed to the position. […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 17

The fantasy season is over for most, but some of you crazy people have Week 17  championships. If that's the case, then you'll have to navigate teams resting starters, shutting down injured players, and using second-stringers to see what they've got. The biggest name we'll likely be without is Lamar Jackson, since Baltimore has locked […]

In a divisional game, this one is a great finale for Monday Night Football. Not just for real football, but especially for fantasy. There are a ton of stars in this game.

FanDuel, DraftKings MNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 16

Monday Night Football is here, and the Green Bay Packers (11-3) are heading West to take on the Minnesota Vikings (10-4). This is a matchup that could lock up the division for the Packers, or it could make Week 17 a lot more important for each team. However, we're not here for that. We're here […]

Alexander Mattison Not Expected To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Packers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. With Dalvin Cook already ruled out, this would leave control of the Vikings backfield to Mike Boone, who scored a pair of touchdowns last week. Boone should be considered an RB2 due to […]

Adam Thielen Is In Low-End WR2 Mix

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen had a muted Week 15 in his return to action and played just over half of the team's offensive snaps, but he's definitely in the mix as a starting option in Week 16. Thielen projects to play close to his usual complement of snaps in a crucial divisional matchup […]

Dan Bailey Is A Solid Play Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has had a great season, knocking in 92% of his field goals and going a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals of at least 50 yards. The Green Bay Packers Defense is not one to shy away from and the game has one of the higher projected totals in Vegas (47 […]

Vikings Defense Is A Risky Option

The Minnesota Vikings Defense had a monster performance in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers as they racked up seven turnovers, three sacks, and a touchdown in a dominating victory. They face a much stiffer test in Week 16 as Aaron Rodgers and the rival Green Bay Packers come to town. The Packers don't […]

Alexander Mattison Questionable Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) got in a limited practice on Saturday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Packers on Monday night. With Dalvin Cook (shoulder) being ruled out, Mattison could have RB2 upside in a good matchup against the Packers if he plays, but at less than 100 percent […]

Dalvin Cook Listed As Out Versus Green Bay

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is listed as out for Monday night's divisional tilt against the Green Bay Packers. Cook didn't practice all week after suffering a shoulder injury and leaving the game in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he could be in danger of missing the season finale against […]

Kyle Rudolph Is A Shaky Week 16 Start

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has had a solid second half of the season as he has six touchdowns in his last eight games. However, he's really difficult to trust in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. Target-hog Adam Thielen is now healthy and expected to play a full complement of snaps - […]
