Top Vikings News

  • Vikings' C.J. Ham: Gets rare rushing TD

    Ham had one carry for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's win at Dallas.

    It was a rare carry for Ham, who has just one this season and four in his last three seasons. Ham is one of the league's best blocking fullbacks, but he rarely touches the ball even at the goal line.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Perfect in Week 15

    Reichard went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    The second-year pro from Alabama has not missed a kick since the Week 8 loss to the Chargers. On the year, Reichard has made 24 of 26 field-goal tries and all 27 of his point-after attempts. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's top kickers in the Week 16 matchup against the Giants.

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Season-high yardage in Dallas

    Hockenson secured four of five targets for 66 yards during Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Hockenson surpassed 50 receiving yards for just the second time this season, finishing tied with Jordan Addison as the team's leading receiver. Justin Jefferson, meanwhile, finished with just two catches for 22 yards despite a team-high eight targets. Hockenson has drawn at least four targets in all but one of his last five appearances and continues to build chemistry with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, so he's trending up heading into a plus matchup against the Giants in Week 16.

  • Vikings' Jordan Mason: Does little with 10 carries

    Mason gained 29 rushing yards on 10 carries during Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Mason played 36 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 15, again working behind Aaron Jones (58 percent), who was also quiet versus Dallas with just 12 carries for 34 yards. While Mason was not targeted a single time, Jones continues to contribute as a pass-catcher, securing all three of his targets for 31 yards. Mason warrants less fantasy consideration than Jones, and neither are necessarily in the mix as more than flex options, but both RBs will face a plus matchup on the road against the Giants in Week 16.

  • Vikings' Jordan Addison: Rips off long reception against DAL

    Addison brought in both of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Addison made his mark on Sunday Night Football when he took a deep pass from QB J.J. McCarthy 58 yards down the field in the second quarter of the win over Dallas. This was a great sign for fantasy managers after the wideout was dealing with a minor Achilles injury during the practice week. The 66 yards marked Addison's highest receiving total since Week 7, highlighting a potential return to form as McCarthy's play improves down the stretch. A soft matchup against the Giants' secondary next Sunday should help Addison generate value as a flex option in Week 16.

  • Vikings' Jalen Nailor: First career multi-score game

    Nailor corralled three of five targets for 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns while losing two yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Nailor came up a bit lame after making an incredible grab on his first touchdown scored Sunday. The 26-year-old was grounded for a while after absorbing a hard landing on the catch, but he managed to stay in the game and produced a second touchdown grab in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory for Minnesota. It was the first multi-score game of Nailor's career and it doubled his total from his previous 13 games this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into Sunday's outburst. Nailor and his 26-395-4 receiving line remain only a deep-league option for Week 16.

  • Vikings' Aaron Jones: Gains 65 yards on 15 touches

    Jones took 12 carries for 34 yards while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Jones has been limited in recent practice weeks with a nagging shoulder injury picked up back in Week 9, but it has yet to affect the veteran's workload or status once game days roll around. Backup Jordan Mason (10-29-0) continues to split backfield duties with Jones, giving both runners modest fantasy value as flex options on a weekly basis. It wouldn't be surprising to see Jones limited in practice again in Week 16, but managers should prepare to deploy Minnesota's veteran starter in a plus matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Vikings' J.J. McCarthy: Scores thrice in back-to-back wins

    McCarthy completed 15 of 24 pass attempts for 250 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while taking four carries for 15 yards and a third score in Sunday's 34-26 win over Dallas.

    McCarthy has been playing inspired ball since returning from his second layoff due to injury this season. The 22-year-old has generated six touchdowns (five passing) in the two games since returning from a concussion in Week 14, earning his club wins in both starts. His struggles getting top WR Justin Jefferson (2-22-0) involved on offense continued, but at least the young signal-caller has corrected his own inconsistent play from earlier in the schedule. Fantasy managers still struggling to find options at the quarterback position this late in the season should take a look at McCarthy in a soft matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Win doesn't cure cold spell

    Jefferson was held to two receptions on eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Jefferson stayed under 25 receiving yards for the third straight appearance despite the Vikings rattling off consecutive wins. The chemistry with QB J.J. McCarthy is simply not there at the moment, with the duo generating a 50 percent catch rate or worse during the wideout's three-game skid in fantasy. Jefferson had a prime opportunity to turn his fortunes around in the second half when McCarthy rifled a pass to the corner of the end zone that hit his star receiver in the hands before dropping harmlessly to the ground. Fantasy managers may have no choice but to stick with Jefferson through his career-worst slump, as he possesses the skill to break out against the Giants next Sunday.

  • Vikings' Jonathan Greenard: Dealing with shoulder issue

    Greenard (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Dallas.

    Greenard suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter, and his status for the stretch run of Sunday Night Football is now in doubt. In his absence, Dallas Turner is a candidate to see increased playing time at linebacker versus the Cowboys.

  • Vikings' Brian O'Neill: Questionable to return

    O'Neill (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

    O'Neill suffered an ankle injury in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Blake Brandel has taken over at right tackle versus Dallas.

  • Vikings' Javon Hargrave: Won't return Sunday night

    Hargrave (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys.

    The defensive tackle exited with the injury earlier in the second half. Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins could see more snaps in his absence.

  • Vikings' Javon Hargrave: Questionable to return to SNF

    Hargrave (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

    Hargrave suffered an apparent groin injury in the second half, placing some doubt on his availability for the rest of the night. In his absence, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins are candidates to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

  • Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: No go for SNF

    Darrisaw (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

    Darrisaw will be forced to miss Week 15 as he tends to the knee injury that forced him to be less than 100 percent at practice throughout the week. Justin Skule is the top candidate to take over at left tackle versus Dallas.

  • Vikings' John Wolford: Serving as emergency QB

    Wolford (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

    The quarterback was elevated to the active roster for Minnesota's Week 13 matchup with Seattle with J.J. McCarthy sidelined due to a concussion. Last week, though, McCarthy returned, moving Wolford to the emergency role behind McCarthy and Max Brosmer. It's a role he'll play again Sunday night.
