BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Vikings are a three-man offense built around the very talented Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen, and Justin Jefferson. Too bad for Minny, the first two couldn't feature (entirely in the case of Cook, partially in Thielen's case) as they would have liked in Sunday's Week 16 outing against the Rams. Making up for the receiver's early exit (Thielen played just 23 snaps/37% share) was, as expected, K.J. Osborn...
...and Osborn put on a very fancy show. In the past four weeks, in which Thielen has either been entirely out or leaving games early injured, Osborn has racked up a combined 54.9 PPR points for an average of 13.7 FPPG only falling below a double-digit mark once. He's played at least 50 snaps for a 79% share in all of those four games, and he's coming off his best game since Week 6. Facing the Rams this past Sunday, Osborn put up a 5-of-7 receiving line for 68 yards and a touchdown, his third in the past four weeks and fifth over the full season.
Osborn is getting tons of targets with Thielen out, and with the star wideout leaving the field in the third quarter of Sunday's game and expected to be dubious to appear on Week 17, Osborn projects to another fantastic game. Osborn has been a top-20 player at the position in three of the past four games, is averaging a 6-4-55 receiving line, and has found pay dirt in three of four games of late. Must-add player for those in the slightest of deep leagues with a safe floor to deploy him as the WR3/Flex in Championship weekend.
