This was certainly an encouraging game that Mike Wallace owners or speculators really needed to see. While the Vikings had been doing little through the air in the first three weeks, Mike Wallace finally came through with eight receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown on ten targets.
He had seen 14 targets in the first three games, good for 12 catches and 150 yards. The kicker here is that this game came against the Denver Broncos and their exceptional pass defense (namely their league-best cornerback tandem).
While Mike Wallace is far from the face of consistency in the league, the point of owning him is the upside that he can provide, while usually providing a decent floor that wouldn't murder your totals. The Vikings go into their bye this week, and then come out facing KC, DET, and CHI, which should be great opportunities for Wallace to flourish.
