Adam Thielen Produces Modest Numbers Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught seven passes for 66 yards and a two-point conversion during a Sunday night loss to the Bears. The Vikings offense was abysmal in the first half, which hurt Thielen's chances of a massive fantasy performance. It is the second game in a row that Thielen has failed to […]

Stefon Diggs Stellar In Losing Effort

Minnesota Vikings wideout Stefon Diggs hauled in 13 receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown during a 25-20 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. This was a welcomed performance from Diggs after he missed Week 9 with a rib injury. The talented 24-year-old has been inconsistent throughout the season but has shown flashes […]

Kirk Cousins Mediocre In Week 11 Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins saved his Week 11 performance with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. He was 30-for-46 with 262 yards and two interceptions. It was a putrid performance through three quarters from the 30-year-old as the Bears defense harassed him throughout the night. Cousins has now delivered back-to-back mediocre performances against NFC North opponents. He […]

Week 11 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

¿Què pasa? Este juego ya no va estar en la ciudad de México -- porque la NFL tiene un complejo de superioridad -- pero pensé que una introducción en español sería divertido así que aquí estamos. Realmente no resultó ser tan divertido. Con suerte, puedes leer esto. Disappointed this game won't be coming to us from […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

Hopefully, all my loyal readers got the joke last week that the picks were actually reversed and did the complete opposite of what was suggested! Nelson Agholor has apparently not morphed into toast, at least not yet. Week 10 was just one of those weeks that was filled with blowouts and upsets, or in the case […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Howdy, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings front and center and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).  Who am I and why should you care? I was the ninth-most accurate in-season expert on FantasyPros out of 125 last season and am fighting against the incredibly smart field yet again. […]

Week 11 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Some big news in the NFL this week. Le'Veon Bell won't be back this season, so you can finally drop him in re-draft leagues if you hadn't already. It's good to have some clarity to that situation, though I know that a lot of people are frustrated because they spent first rounders on him. In […]

Week 11 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 11 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

WR Target and Snap Count Risers from Week 10

Your wide receivers remain essential components toward accomplishing your unwavering goal of securing a league championship. As the season unfolds, it is crucial for you to utilize the tools that you have available, in order to maintain an extensive level of knowledge regarding the number of opportunities that are being provided to your wide receivers […]

Vikings Defense A Decent Play Against Bears

The Minnesota Vikings defense has got their swagger back. After a laughable performance in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, the Vikings have responded with 20 sacks, five interceptions, five fumble recoveries, and two touchdowns over their next five games. The unit will take on the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Week 11. […]

Kyle Rudolph Will Likely Continue To Disappoint In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has not scored a touchdown since Week 3 and has not had over 40 yards since Week 5. In Week 11, he is facing a Chicago Bears defense that has not allowed a tight end to garner over 49 receiving yards against them this season. Rudolph has been a […]

Latavius Murray Should Be Avoided In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray will be hard-pressed to make a fantasy impact in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. Dalvin Cook is fully healthy and will likely dominate the snap count. Furthermore, the Bears' defense has surrendered the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Murray has five touchdowns over his past […]

Kirk Cousins A Mediocre QB Option In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins faces a tough test in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. He has failed to break the 300-yard mark in three of his past four games and is facing a defense that allows the 12th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Cousins will not be wholly ineffective, but it is hard to […]

Dalvin Cook Won't Be Limited

Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said that running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is a full-go heading into Week 11 against the Bears on Sunday night. Cook ran the ball 10 times for 89 yards and caught four passes for 20 yards in Week 9 and had the bye week to rest up further, so […]

Adam Thielen Remains A Must-Start Option In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (calf) is currently questionable for the Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. In all likelihood, he will play, but it is a situation to monitor nonetheless. Assuming he does suit up, Thielen will be a solid fantasy option even against a stout Bears' defense. The fifth-year wideout has […]

Stefon Diggs Healthy And Ready For Week 11

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) has resumed practice in full and will be back in action in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. Diggs missed Week 9 and had last week's bye to rest his injury. Now, he will take on a Bears secondary that is allowing 236 passing yards per game. Diggs […]

Adam Thielen Limited Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (back, calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a little strange coming off the bye week, but Thielen is in no danger of sitting out in Week 11 against the Bears in a big divisional matchup. He has been one of the best all-around players in fantasy this […]

Stefon Diggs Puts In Full Practice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (rib) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback at practice this week, Diggs should return to face the Bears on Sunday night. He missed the Week 9 game but had the Week 10 bye to rest up. Even coming off a two-week hiatus, Diggs will be […]

Stefon Diggs Back At Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) is back at practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 9 game. Diggs had the Week 10 bye to heal up, so he should be good to go for Sunday night against the Bears, where he'll be a WR2. He had 10 catches on 11 targets for 119 […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11

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. […]

Week 11 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The New England Patriots put up 10 points, and the Buffalo Bills put up 41. In Week 10, the NFL remained unpredictable as ever, and that included the kicker position.

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 11)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Stefon Diggs Says He Will Play In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) practiced on Monday and said, "I know I will play" this week against the Bears. Diggs also said he would surely play in Week 9 before being held out before the bye week. Barring a setback in practice this week, we'd expect Diggs to return to action against […]
