Laquon Treadwell Wants To Get More Involved In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is firmly entrenched as the WR3 on the Vikings depth chart. Regardless, his fantasy value is still microscopic due to a lack of targets.

Latavius Murray Not A Viable Fantasy Option In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray only registered five fewer carries than fellow RB Dalvin Cook in Week 1, but most of those carries were late in the fourth quarter when the Vikings were trying to run out the clock. Murray was only on the field for 20% of the Vikings offensive snaps. He has […]

Dalvin Cook Has Great Matchup In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was more dangerous catching the ball than running the ball in Week 1, but that should change in Week 2. He's taking on a Green Bay Packers front that allowed 137 rushing yards and a touchdown in their Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Cook was on the […]

Kirk Cousins A Top-10 QB Option In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will only continue to get better as he further adjusts to the offense with each passing week. In Week 2, he'll take on a youthful Green Bay Packers secondary that is coming off of a stingy performance against the Chicago Bears. With that being said, Minnesota's Week 1 opponent, the […]

Kyle Rudolph Could Continue To Be Quiet In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was only targeted twice in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Stefon Diggs Has Fantastic History Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings wideout Stefon Diggs will be looking to build off of a solid Week 1 performance that saw him tally 43 yards on three catches with a touchdown.

Adam Thielen Poised For Another Solid Week

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will be looking to continue his great play in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
