Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll keep it short and sweet here - you need to win and I want you to win. That's where the ol' gut comes in. See, there are many reasons to think Cousins won't throw the ball very often this week, Edwards will see a reduced workload, McKenzie has too low a ceiling to start […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 15): NFL DFS Lineups

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Hey there RotoBallers! Hopefully, your season-long teams are gearing up for the fantasy semifinals. If not, there is plenty of DFS fun to be had this weekend. The Week 15 main slate will be an interesting one as we will be without several high-powered offenses, including the Chiefs, Chargers, Saints, Rams, and Panthers. Because of […]

Kyle Rudolph Tough To Trust Despite Great Matchup

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is coming off of a season-low seven receiving yards in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. He is going up against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15, who have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Despite a solid matchup, Rudolph has not found the […]

Dalvin Cook Set To Go Off Against Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had 18 touches in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks, and in reality, he should have had more. Cook has also become a key member of the passing attack, totaling 13 receptions over the past two weeks. Now, with a new offensive coordinator, Cook is set to be unleashed […]

Kirk Cousins Set To Utilize Great Matchup Against Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been horrendous in three of his past five games. In those contests, he has averaged 191 passing yards while throwing three touchdowns and three interceptions. Cousins is capable of monster fantasy performances, but his inconsistency is unnerving. Luckily, he faces the 25th ranked pass defense of the Miami Dolphins […]

Adam Thielen Seeking Bounce-Back Performance In Week 15

Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen had 70 yards on five receptions in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. It was Thielen's worst fantasy performance of the season, which speaks to how good he has been. The 28-year-old wideout has had a ridiculously high floor throughout the campaign, and he should be back to his elite […]

Stefon Diggs Has Quality Matchup In Week 15

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been an inconsistent fantasy asset at times this season, but he is set to face a depleted Miami Dolphins secondary in Week 15. The Dolphins have surrendered the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season and are likely to be without cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) for […]

Latavius Murray Picks Up Four Yards Against Seahawks

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray had four yards on three carries during a 21-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Murray has four or fewer carries in three of the past four weeks. He is an afterthought on the Vikings' offense that is usually only utilized in chew-clock situations. Murray was solid […]

Dan Bailey Misses Field Goal For Third Straight Week

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey had a 47-yard field goal attempt blocked by Bobby Wagner in the fourth quarter of Monday's game. The block was highly controversial as Wagner put his hands on his lineman to leverage himself over the line. It is hard to fault Bailey for this missed kick, but he has been […]

Kyle Rudolph Invisible Against Seahawks

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph snagged two passes for seven yards against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. It was his lowest yardage output of the season. Rudolph saw a red-zone target from the two-yard line in the third quarter, but the pass fell incomplete. That has been the story of the season for […]

Adam Thielen Picks Up 70 Yards On Monday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen hauled in five passes for 70 yards during a 21-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Thielen also ran the ball once for eight yards. The 28-year-old wideout has been held under 70 yards in four of his past five games. The Vikings' passing offense has been […]

Stefon Diggs Adequate In Week 14 Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs hauled in four receptions for 76 yards during a 21-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. Diggs only saw six targets for a second straight week. The 25-year-old wideout is incredibly talented, but the Vikings' passing offense has been a real struggle lately. Luckily, Diggs has an […]

Kirk Cousins Horrendous On Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was dismal on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. He completed 20-of-33 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown, although the score was meaningless and came at the end of regulation. Almost a quarter of his yards also came on a 48-yard heave to Stefon Diggs in the third quarter. […]

Dalvin Cook Scores Garbage-Time Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 13 times for 55 yards and hauled in five receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown during Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. Cook has arguably been the best player on offense for the Vikings but remains underutilized. Look for Cook to see more usage in […]

Vikings Fire John DeFilippo After Offensive Failure Monday

The Minnesota Vikings fired offensive coordinator John DeFilippo on Tuesday after the offense failed to do much of anything in a 21-7 loss on the road to the Seahawks on Monday, according to a source. Quarterbacks coach Kevin Stefanski will take over as the interim offensive coordinator with the hope of getting quarterback Kirk Cousins […]
