The Minnesota Vikings (6-5-1) head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks Monday night while still possessing a very legitimate shot at their second-straight NFC North championship.

Benjamin Watson Has TE2 Value Against Tampa Bay

New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson is having a quiet season heading into Week 14 with 28 receptions for 313 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite the disappointing performance last week, […]

Mark Ingram Has Chance Against Porous Tampa Defense

Michael Thomas Sidelined Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not what his fantasy owners or the Saints want to see with the fantasy playoffs starting this week.
