5 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone has a great chance to be one of those random, out-of-nowhere fantasy superstars that make the difference in fantasy championships this season. Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) didn't practice all week and aren't likely to play, while Boone excelled with 13 carries for 56 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15's blowout win. Boone, an undrafted second-year back out of Cincinnati, could be looking at tallying 15-20 touches against a Packers Defense that allows 4.76 yards per carry and is ranked 25th in rush DVOA. They also rank 25th in fantasy points per game allowed to the running back position. Start Boone as an upside RB2 who should get enough volume for him to threaten sliding into the top-10, as long as Cook and Mattison are ruled out.--Kyle Ringstad - RotoBaller
