Amari Cooper - Revitalized in Big D?

Historically, in-season trades for relevant players have been exceedingly rare in the NFL. That trend seems to be shifting in recent years. We just saw Carlos Hyde go to Jacksonville and on Monday the Dallas Cowboys made a bold move by giving up a first-round pick for wide receiver Amari Cooper. Let me start out […]

Week 7 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

When I watch movies, I root for the bad guy. I always wanted the coyote to catch the roadrunner. An NFL team going after a defeated season is exponentially more intriguing to me than the pursuit of an undefeated one. I'm just that guy. So much so, that when I sat down to begin typing […]

Vikings Defense Dominant In Week 7

The Minnesota Vikings defense allowed 17 points against the New York Jets in Week 7. They also had three sacks, three interceptions, and one fumble recovery in the win.

Latavius Murray Has Another Fantastic Performance

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray garnered 69 yards and two touchdowns on 15 rushing attempts in a Week 7 win over the New York Jets. He also had two receptions for 14 yards.

Aldrick Robinson Snags Touchdown In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Aldrick Robinson had one reception in Week 7, but it was for a 34-yard touchdown. The speedy wideout now has three touchdowns on four receptions this season.

Kyle Rudolph Invisible In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph had one reception for 16 yards during a 37-17 win over the New York Jets in Week 7. Rudolph has not caught a touchdown pass since Week 3 and has seen a steady decline in fantasy points over his past few games. With Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs garnering […]

Kirk Cousins Tosses Two Touchdowns In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 25 of 40 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns during a 37-17 win over the New York Jets. Cousins was not at his best in this game, but he made enough big plays to turn in a solid fantasy stat line. The 30-year-old now has 2162 yards with […]

Stefon Diggs Quiet For Second Straight Week

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs hauled in eight receptions while only mustering 33 yards during a 37-17 win over the New York Jets. He was targeted 14 times in the contest but failed to break any big receptions. Diggs has four double-digit fantasy point performances this season, but he has been practically invisible in […]

Death, taxes, and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen tallying over 100 receiving yards. The talented wideout hauled in nine receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown during a Week 7 win over the New York Jets.

Welcome back RotoBallers! We are getting into the thick of the NFL season as we prepare for Week 7.
