Minnesota Vikings news, rumors and injuriesVikings | Six players work out for Minnesota Friday Sat, 23 Sep 2017 07:38:24 -0700 Free-agent TEs Brandon Z. Barnes (Lions), Gavin Escobar (Chiefs) and Scott Orndoff (Steelers), S A.J. Hendy (Dolphins) and DEs Pat O'Connor (Lions) and Devin Taylor (Giants) worked out for the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Sept. 22. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Case Keenum gets nod in Week 3 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 15:21:58 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Case Keenum will be the starter again in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with QB Sam Bradford (knee) on the shelf. Fantasy Tip: Keenum being under center means a decrease in fantasy appeal for Stefon Diggs, Kyle Rudolph, Adam Thielen, etc. Diggs and Thielen should be treated as WR3 or WR4 options, while Rudolph is still a red zone threat and a solid low-end TE1. The Buccaneers DST will be a popular fantasy option against the backup QB. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford seeks second opinion Fri, 22 Sep 2017 15:21:28 -0700 Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) is out for Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he is seeking a second opinion on his ailing knee. Fantasy Tip: It's uncertain when Bradford will be able to return to game action, so it will be Case Keenum under center again this Sunday. That news immediately means a downgrade to the fantasy value of Stefon Diggs, Kyle Rudolph, Adam Thielen, etc. Diggs and Thielen should only be considered as WR3 or WR4 plays, while Rudolph remains a low-end TE1 for his ability in the red zone. The Buccaneers DST is also a favorable unit to play against Keenum. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Week 3 injury report for Vikings Fri, 22 Sep 2017 14:11:15 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and has been ruled out for Week 3. LB Anthony Barr (hamstring), C Pat Elflein (ankle), CB Mackensie Alexander (wrist) and CB Xavier Rhodes (hip) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford ruled out Week 3 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 10:40:29 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Fantasy Tip: While it's a bummer for Bradford's owners hoping for an encore to his Week 1 performance, owners of Kyle Rudolph, Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen are probably the most upset by this news, as backup Case Keenum is a considerable step down from Bradford. Rudolph is still worth a start in most leagues, but Diggs and Thielen are probably WR3s at best. Streamers of defense/special teams units should feel good about the Buccaneers this week, however. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Thursday injury report for Vikings Thu, 21 Sep 2017 13:49:07 -0700 Minnesota Vikings LB Anthony Barr (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Sept. 21. CB Mackensie Alexander (wrist), C Pat Elflein (ankle) and CB Xavier Rhodes (hip) participated fully. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford limited Thu, 21 Sep 2017 13:46:31 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Sept. 21. Fantasy Tip: Bradford is shaping up to be a legitimate game-time decision. It would behoove Bradford owners to have a backup plan in place in case Bradford is sidelined again. That backup plan should not be Case Keenum. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Wednesday injury report for Vikings Wed, 20 Sep 2017 13:53:12 -0700 Minnesota Vikings LB Anthony Barr (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. CB Mackensie Alexander (wrist), C Pat Elflein (ankle) and CB Xavier Rhodes (hip) participated fully. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford puts in limited practice Wed, 20 Sep 2017 13:49:09 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. Fantasy Tip: Bradford could be a game-time decision again this week, so have a backup plan in place in case. Case Keenum is not a good backup plan. Pick up someone like Josh McCown, Jacoby Brissett or DeShone Kizer if you're really desperate. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford improving Wed, 20 Sep 2017 08:33:30 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) was feeling better Tuesday, Sept. 19, and he's being considered day to day, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Fantasy Tip: Bradford hasn't been a particularly quick healer in his career, and he's anything but a safe bet to play in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If he goes, he's still a backup option in fantasy. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford dealing with bruise? Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:51:32 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) is believed to have a bone bruise in his injured knee, according to a source. Bradford will be given an injection after which the Vikings will assess how the knee responds and go from there. Fantasy Tip: Bradford's absence was evident in the Vikings' Week 2 loss. The offense sputtered coming off a supremely successful Week 1 outing. Have a backup plan at quarterback in place for now. Case Keenum will start again if Bradford can't play, but don't start Keenum in traditional fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Sam Bradford could be back for Week 3 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 07:28:10 -0700 Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Bradford (knee) just had swelling and discomfort from taking a shot to his knee, and he could return in Week 3, according NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. His status will depend on how he responds to treatment. Fantasy Tip: Bradford would be a backup or emergency option in fantasy against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Stefon Diggs has quiet day Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:56:00 -0700 Minnesota Vikings WR Stefon Diggs caught two passes for 27 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. Fantasy Tip: Diggs probably could have had a better statistical day but was held in check by the Steelers. He will continue to be the top receiver for the Vikings and should be a starting option in most leagues in Week 3. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Adam Thielen catches five passes Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:48:18 -0700 Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen caught five passes for 44 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. Fantasy Tip: Thielen's value took a hit with Case Keenum starting this week but still had a decent outing for owners in point-per-reception leagues. Thielen can be considered at least a flex option for owners next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Comment () | Share: Vikings | Kyle Rudolph finishes with 45 yards Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:34:58 -0700 Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph caught four passes for 45 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. Fantasy Tip: Rudolph was a reliable target for Case Keenum during game but probably would have had a better day if Sam Bradford played. Rudolph can be a No. 1 tight end against certain opponents, but his value will drop if Keenum starts. Comment () | Share:  |
