Vikings Have Big Plans For Irv Smith Jr.
Minnesota Vikings rookie tight end Irv Smith Jr., who was taken 50th overall in this year's draft, is extremely athletic and can create mismatches with linebackers or safeties in the middle of the field. He has obvious upside as a pass-catcher but has also shown improvement as a run-blocker in training camp. Smith is expected […]
Nick Mariano's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)
All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Everyone loves to talk about sleepers and which late-round fliers are going to deliver them to the promised land, but those picks can only blossom when overvalued landmines are left for others to step on. Here we'll be looking at two players per position […]
Is Adam Thielen OK?
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen hasn't played a snap since a Week 2 preseason game versus the Seahawks, where he easily excelled in limited playing time with three catches for 45 yards, including a nice 34-yard over-the-top grab, followed by a huge pass interference call that helped the Vikings secure a victory. Head coach […]
Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
A grand total of 33 running backs have been drafted inside the first three rounds of the NFL draft from 2015 to 2018. We've come to know the likes of David Johnson, Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Kamara, and Saquon Barkley among many other great rushers. As you see, there have been a lot of hits between […]

So, you grabbed a couple of good running backs early on, but you don't have a ton of depth there? If you wait too long, you're going to have to do your research to know who you should be drafting. Thankfully for you, I'm here to do that research. Guys like Marlon Mack were league-winners […]

Navigating Late-Round Tight Ends
When should I draft a tight end? This is one of the questions in fantasy football that gets the biggest split of answers. There is the clear cut tier of Travis Kelce (who you could argue is in a tier of his own), Zach Ertz and George Kittle, but their ADPs are high. With all […]
Around the NFL Pop Quiz: NFC North
In an effort to write these columns before the start of the season, I ask a lot of people their thoughts on everyone under the sun in fantasy. None of these interactions are as rewarding when I ask my wife her thoughts on her favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. They aren't, uh, thorough. Me: […]
Tight End PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts
Tight ends are tricky in fantasy football. Due to the top-heavy nature of the position, it is typically best to either land one of the top few or to wait until the end of the draft to find one. An elite TE like Rob Gronkowski in years past can elevate your roster with his performances […]
Indianapolis Colts 2019 Outlook: Out of Luck
The Andrew Luck era is over for Indianapolis. I only have one word to say about how I feel about Luck calling it a career: Respect. No anger. No malice. Just Respect. While some players cry about player safety yet do nothing about it, Luck took a stand and realized his life was most important. […]
Laquon Treadwell A Non-Factor In Victory
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell didn't improve his chances at securing a roster spot on Saturday, failing to catch his only target in a 20-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Treadwell was "showcased" in the previous preseason game, but he failed to make any type of impact in what was a poor showing for […]
Chad Beebe Quiet In Third Preseason Game
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe was held without a catch on Saturday despite seeing three targets. All indications are still pointing toward Beebe being the lead dog for the Vikings third receiver spot, though Olabisi Johnson, Jordan Taylor, and Brandon Zylstra remain in the mix with one preseason game left to play. It could […]
Kyle Rudolph Held Without Catch
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph had a quiet game on Saturday, failing to haul in a catch and registering just one target in the contest. Rudolph is the starting tight end for the Vikings, but rookie Irv Smith Jr. could have a role as a receiving threat and Rudolph has disappointed in the past […]
Stefon Diggs Catches Two Passes In Win
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught two of four targets for 28 yards on Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals. Diggs played the majority of the first half, though the offense was out of sorts as starting quarterback Kirk Cousins was 3-for-13 passing for just 35 yards. The Vikings have been committed to being more […]
Mike Boone The Preseason Rushing Leader After Three Weeks
Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone is doing everything he possibly can to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, and his performance on Saturday against the Cardinals definitely helped his cause. Boone rushed 10 times for 41 yards and a touchdown, while he also caught his only target and continues to play a role […]

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 PPR RB Projections and Rankings (Part One)
After a two-year span that saw running backs suffer diminishing value between 2016 and 2017, it appears as if the position is back on top.

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~145 In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season? Well, Cousins had gotten a lot of hype behind him when he went to Minnesota. […]
Kirk Cousins Struggles Mightily
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins went 3-for-13 for 35 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions Saturday in the third preseason game. He was sacked twice and was pressured often in the outing. Cousins had multiple passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. The stat line looks ugly, but it shouldn't serve as much of […]
Dalvin Cook Dazzles in Limited Work
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed twice for 88 yards and one touchdown in the third preseason game Saturday. On one of his rushes, he started left and cut back to the right, breaking tackles on his way to an 85-yard touchdown run. Cook is showing he's all the way back from his torn […]
Deeper Dynasty Sleepers to Stash (Premium Content)
Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes in fantasy football. It could be the undrafted free agent that teams passed over on draft day. It could be a third-string RB that suddenly ascends to relevance. It could be a veteran receiver that finally finds a chance to shine. Or it could be that player from […]
Linval Joseph A Full Participant At Practice
Minnesota Vikings run-stuffing defensive tackle Linval Joseph was a full participant in practice on Tuesday, his first full practice since recovering from offseason surgery. Joseph is an elite interior defender, and his return undoubtedly boosts the prospects of the Vikings defense. This is a deep and talented defensive roster at all three levels with lots […]
Top Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters
Zero RB discussion comes and goes every season, it certainly works in theory. Running backs are injured more often than wide receivers, and that means you are better to spend your high draft capital on elite wide receiver talent, then pick up your running backs later (try and pick several to give you more opportunity […]

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated?
In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season?
