Stefon Diggs Is A Strong Week 16 Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has a strong track record against the Green Bay Packers as he has hit paydirt in each of the last six meetings between the storied franchises (seven total touchdowns). Injuries to the Vikings' top two running backs likely means that they will be looking to throw a bit more […]

Mike Boone Is An Upside RB2 In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone has a great chance to be one of those random, out-of-nowhere fantasy superstars that make the difference in fantasy championships this season. Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) didn't practice all week and aren't likely to play, while Boone excelled with 13 carries for 56 yards and two […]

Kirk Cousins Is A High-End QB2 Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has played very well this season, but it hasn't always translated to fantasy success. The Vikings remain a run-oriented team and have blown a lot of teams out, meaning Cousins hasn't needed to throw much in a number of contests. Though Mike Boone is no slouch, the likely absence of […]

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are both out of practice again on Friday. Mattison is working on the side with a strength coach.

NCAA Prospects To Watch For Dynasty Leagues: Bowl Week One

A few weeks ago we began looking at different fantasy positions each edition and highlighting some of the key future fantasy stars to watch on that specific Saturday. With the bowl games now all that's left, we're not going to take it week by week, but I'll separate this into three sections: Before Christmas, Before […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Miss Practice

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are both absent from practice on Thursday. Cook is still holding out hope that he can play on Monday night against the Packers, but reports out on Thursday suggest that is unlikely.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 16) - Targets and Avoids

The Atlanta Falcons delivered the biggest blow in Week 15 to whatever remains of survivor pools with a last-second win against the 49ers as 10-point road dogs. Just more than six percent of entrants took the Niners on Run Your Pool's site-wide distribution pick. That's because San Fran was the sixth-most selected team. There was only […]

Dalvin Cook Going Through Normal Preparations

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) said that he's going through his "normal preparation" for the week with hopes that he can play on Monday night against the Packers. "If I’m ready to go, I’m ready to go," Cook said. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Thursday that it's unlikely Cook will suit up. Especially […]

Benching Star Players? Don't Dance With Who Brung Ya

The common adage is to "start your studs" or, in more folksy terms, "dance with the one who brung ya." The common thought between it all is simply that certain guys on your team have been solid for you all year and gotten you into the finals or 3rd place game, where you're playing for […]

Alexander Mattison Has A "Good Chance" To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) missed his first game of the year in Week 15 and is currently questionable for Week 16 against the Packers. Mattison is yet to practice this week but appears to be nearing a return to practice in a limited capacity. Head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters that he […]

Dalvin Cook Unlikely To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) appears unlikely to play in Week 16, according to recent reports. Cook has played in all 14 games so far this year but suffered his shoulder injury in Week 15 and couldn't finish the game. He has 1,135 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns this year.

The Tape Tells All - Breshad Perriman Fantasy Outlook

Welcome to another edition of "The Tape Tells All," where I break down some film of an NFL's player performance and try to draw some fantasy football conclusions from that film. Just kidding.

Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers - Jameis Winston, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 16

It's Week 16. It's Championship Week. If you've made it this far, you undoubtedly know the drill. It's also less likely you're in need of a player to pick up from the bowels of the waiver wire. But just for consistency sake and to ensure no championship-bound teams are left in the lurch, I'm going […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Higbee were all freely available on waivers at some point this season, if not last week.

Week 15 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 15, the quarterback position fell according to plan for the most part.
