Alexander Mattison Shouldn't Be Started In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has made a solid impression in his rookie season, but he can't be trusted as a starting fantasy option with his current role in the offense. Mattison received just three carries and gained five yards in Week 12's close contest against the Broncos. He just doesn't see enough action […]

Stefon Diggs Is An Upside WR2 In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to keep the good times rollin' in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The fifth-year wideout has had at least 121 receiving yards in four of his last six games and is coming off a productive game (5/121/1) against a tough Broncos Defense in Week 11. Diggs […]

Kyle Rudolph Could Have Appeal In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has caught 12 of 15 targets for 104 yards and four touchdowns in his last three games played. He has become a reliable option in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) and he can be started as a high-end TE2 if the star wideout is ruled out again in […]

Dalvin Cook Returns To Full Practice Friday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (chest) returned to a full practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. The Vikings were just resting their workhorse back on Thursday while coming off their bye week. He should be good to go for Monday night's showdown against the Seahawks. Cook is second behind only Christian McCaffrey […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Low-End QB1 Against Seattle

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has entered the down-ballot MVP conversation with his recent stretch of stellar play. The NFL's current leader in passer rating, Cousins has also compiled an impressive 18/1 TD/INT ratio over his last seven games and his 70.6% completion rate checks in at fourth in the league.

Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen Limited Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (chest) and wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) were both listed as limited for the estimated practice report on Thursday. Cook should be fine to play on Monday night against the Seahawks and is a must-start fantasy commodity. Thielen, on the other hand, is highly questionable after having a slight […]
