Kyle Rudolph Average In Week 4 Loss

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught five of his six targets for 57 yards on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Rudolph has been a decent TE option to start the year, but he will always struggle to find a ton of targets behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Regardless, he has 188 […]

Dalvin Cook Held In Check In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook only mustered 20 rushing yards on 10 carries in a Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The Vikings said that Cook was on a pitch count after coming back from a hamstring injury which is why he did not see a single carry in the second half. […]

Stefon Diggs Bounces Back In A Big Way

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had one of the worst performances of his career in Week 3, but he answered back on Thursday night. Diggs snagged 11 of his 15 targets for 123 yards. He was unable to find the end zone but still managed to put up a serviceable point total for fantasy […]

Adam Thielen Turns In Another Amazing Performance

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen hauled in eight of his 12 targets on Thursday night for 135 yards and a touchdown. Thielen has gone over 100 receiving yards in every game this season. His 473 yards through four games are the most in Vikings' franchise history. Thielen is a model of consistency and seems […]

Kirk Cousins Shines Despite Loss

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 36-of-50 passing attempts for 422 yards and three touchdowns on Thursday night, tacking on 28 rushing yards on four attempts. In a night where the Vikings played from behind all game and eventually fell to the Los Angeles Rams 38-31, Cousins actually led the team in rushing yards. He […]

Latavius Murray Disappoints Again

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray ran for just two yards on two carries in the Vikings loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. Though starting running back Dalvin Cook was on a "pitch count" and the Vikings were playing from behind all game, Murray only saw two targets in the passing game […]

Aldrick Robinson Catches Two Touchdowns

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Aldrick Robinson caught his only two targets of the night from Kirk Cousins, turning them into 33 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the 38-31 Vikings loss.

Dalvin Cook Questionable For Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Rams. Cook will likely come down to a game-time decision, but as of now things don't look good. On a short week, the Vikings will likely play it cautiously with their second-year back. Even if Cook is active, […]

Latavius Murray Should Be Avoided In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray burned a vast amount of fantasy owners in Week 3 after his one-yard clunker against the Buffalo Bills. In Week 4, he still might be the lead back if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) does not play, but he has a far tougher matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams […]

Dalvin Cook A Risky RB Option In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) will likely be limited in Week 4 even if he does play. A porous offensive line going up against the likes of Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, and Michael Brockers is also a terrifying proposition for a running back. Cook is still considered questionable for Thursday's outing, and will […]

Stefon Diggs A Top-20 WR Option For Week 4

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had one of the most forgettable performances of his young career in Week 3. For somebody as competitive as Diggs, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a monster outing. The Los Angeles Rams have lost starting corner Aqib Talib (ankle) for at least a […]

Adam Thielen Will Keep On Rolling In Week 4

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has gone over 100 yards in every game so far this season and leads the entire NFL with 44 targets. That pattern should not change heading into Week 4 due to the injuries in the Los Angeles Rams secondary. Thielen always has the best matchup on the field due […]

Kyle Rudolph A Top-10 TE Option For Week 4

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has 12 receptions over the past two weeks and has started to become more integrated into the offense. The Los Angeles Rams were torched by Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook in the season opener, but have only allowed 62 yards to the position in the following two games. […]

Kirk Cousins In Tough Spot Against Stout Rams Defense

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will be looking to rebound after a clunker of a game in Week 3.

Luckily, starting corner Aqib Talib (ankle) is out of commission while fellow corner Marcus […]
