Kyle Rudolph An Unappealing TE2 in Week 2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2 entering Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. Rudolph was only targeted once and didn't make the catch, though the Vikings only passed 10 times in Week 1 due to game flow. The passing attempts will increase in Week 2, but Rudolph still doesn't […]

Adam Thielen A Top-End WR2 Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen had an efficient game in Week 1, catching three of three targets for 43 yards and a receiving touchdown. Thielen had a productive fantasy day despite Kirk Cousins throwing just 10 times, a number that will surely rise against the Packers in Week 2. The Packers Defense looked great […]

Dalvin Cook An RB1 Play In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook looked great in Week 1, rushing 21 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in a dominant 28-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Kirk Cousins A Low-End QB2 Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was a fantasy disappointment in Week 1, passing for just 98 yards on a career-low 10 attempts against the Falcons. His low-usage was due to the Vikes being up early, and it's far more likely that Cousins will need to throw more against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. […]

Stefon Diggs Not On Week 2 Injury Report

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) was left off the team's initial Week 2 injury report. Diggs has developed a reputation for disappointing his fantasy owners while playing through injuries, and that didn't change in Week 1 when he caught both of his targets for just 37 yards against the Falcons. To put it […]

Kyle Rudolph Not Involved In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was very quiet on Sunday, failing to haul in his only target in the 28-12 win. The Vikings held an early lead and featured a run-heavy attack all afternoon, which resulted in Kirk Cousins throwing just 10 times for 98 yards in the game. Though Rudolph played every offensive snap, […]

Alexander Mattison Efficient On Limited Touches

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison had himself a nice NFL debut, rushing nine times for 49 yards (5.4 YPC) in the Vikings 28-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Stefon Diggs Quiet In Sunday's Win

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring) had a low-key game on Sunday, catching both of his targets for 37 yards in the 28-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Kirk Cousins only threw 10 times for 98 passing yards, so Diggs' lack of production was more a result of the Vikes commitment to the run […]

Adam Thielen Notches Touchdown In Victory

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen led the receiving corps on Sunday, snagging all three of his targets for 43 yards and the team's only receiving touchdown. Thielen managed to come away from this game with a usable fantasy line despite quarterback Kirk Cousins passing for only 98 yards, which has to be considered a […]

Kirk Cousins Posts Modest Line In Win

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was 8-for-10 passing for 98 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, adding six carries for four yards and a rushing touchdown.
