Max Brosmer completed 6-of-7 passes for 58 yards in Monday's 23-6 loss to the BIlls.
Fantasy Impact: After Carson Wentz struggled terribly in this game, Brosmer came on in relief to lead the Vikings' final drive. The second-year QB actually did okay, but he's most likely to remain in a backup role for the Vikings moving forward.
Carson Wentz completed only 8-of-25 passes for 81 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Earlier this season, Wentz had some bright moments at the helm of the Vikings' offense. That's a distant memory now, as the veteran QB couldn't even finish Monday's contest without being benched in favor of third-stringer Max Brosmer. Wentz may have very well played his final snaps for the Vikings.
Aaron Jones Sr. gained 16 yards on five carries and caught his only target for five yards in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Jones' paltry production in this one wasn't the result of backfield mate Jordan Mason seeing a surge in touches, as the latter finished with just seven of his own. The Vikings' offense is all out of sorts at the moment, and their RB tandem is suffering as a result. Jones looked like he might have found the Fountain of Youth earlier this season, but over the last three weeks, the veteran has given fantasy managers next to nothing.
Jordan Mason rushed for 35 yards on six carries and added just seven yards on two receptions in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Mason missed a large chunk of the season early on. Then, he returned to gain 68 yards on 15 carries in a win over the Colts in Week 7. Any encouragement that resulted from that performance is gone now, as the Vikings just cannot get things together on offense. Mason has gained 55 yards on just 14 carries combined over the last two games. He's a bench stash for fantasy purposes right now.
Justin Jefferson hauled in only 3-of-11 targets for 58 yards in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Jefferson is one of the league's top talents at wide receiver. Still, the Vikings' inept quarterback play so far this season has turned the All-Pro into an inconsistent, boom-or-bust asset for fantasy managers. Jefferson is in the low-end WR2 discussion at present, but if the Vikings can figure things out at QB, he would fly back up the rankings.
Jordan Addison caught 2-of-3 targets for 28 yards in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Addison has now finished with two or fewer receptions four times in seven games this season, as the inconsistent quarterback play in Minnesota this season has really limited his production. The speedy receiver possesses big-play ability, but if the Vikings don't figure things out at QB, Addison will remain a highly volatile fantasy option.
T.J. Hockenson caught 4-of-7 targets for 33 yards in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Hockenson actually led the Vikings in receptions Monday night, but the offense was pretty much shut down on the whole. The veteran TE has had a decent season to this point despite lacking QB play for the Vikings. Hockenson had scored in two straight games going into Monday night, and he's now caught four passes in three consecutive weeks.
Josh Allen completed 21 of 31 passes for 234 yards with one touchdown and one interception, adding 15 yards on six carries in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: This performance was certainly below the norm for Allen, but considering it came against arguably the league's top defense, it was serviceable. Allen eclipsed 2,000 yards passing for the season in this one, and he's now up to a dozen touchdown passes along with a whopping nine rushing scores. Allen remains one of the top fantasy assets in the league regardless of position. He should be set for a larger output against the Jets in Week 10.
Ty Johnson rushed one time for just one yard but gained 36 yards on two receptions in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: It's well known that Johnson makes the vast majority of his contributions to the Bills as a receiver out of the backfield. That was the case again Monday night. He didn't do much on two of his touches, but he took one of his receptions 36 yards top give him the game's longest gain. Johnson doesn't carry much fantasy appeal outside the deepest of PPR leagues.
James Cook II rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: This was a true workhorse effort from Cook. The last time he got 30-plus carries was Week 13 of last season. Cook is one of only three backs in the league currently averaging over 100 rushing yards per game, and Jahmyr Gibbs is the only player carrying the ball more times per game than Cook.
DJ Moore caught 3-of-5 targets for 25 yards, adding 11 yards on one carry in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Moore had a big game in his return to action against the Ravens in Week 8. He couldn't replicate the effort in Week 9, but he is healthy and stronger fantasy performances should be on the way. Moore is best viewed as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3.
Khalil Shakir brought down all four of his targets for 58 yards in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Shakir tied for the team lead in catches and topped the Bills in receiving yards Monday night. Shakir has now caught four or more passes in four of the last five games, averaging 4.6 receptions and 63.6 yards per game in that span.
Keon Coleman caught 3-of-6 targets for 17 yards in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Coleman has had a few strong games this season. He even had a stretch of three straight weeks with a touchdown. Since then, Coleman has managed only four receptions for 21 yards over the last two games. The third-year receiver is just unreliable from a fantasy standpoint.
Keleki Latu caught his only target for a 25-yard touchdown in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Latu has seen very limited snaps on offense this season, as he's largely a contributor on special teams for the Bills. Latu got his first target of the season Monday night and made it count, scoring his first career touchdown.
Dalton Kincaid hauled in all three of his targets for 28 yards in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Kincaid's up-and-down campaign continued Monday night. The fourth-year TE has pretty much become a feast-or-famine fantasy option at this point. Proceed accordingly.
Dawson Knox secured 4-of-5 targets for 37 yards in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Knox put up season highs in receptions and yards in Week 9. This has not been a very productive season for the veteran tight end, at least from a fantasy perspective. Knox is still a mainstay on the field for the Bills, but his value to the team is much higher than his fantasy upside.
The Vikings' defense gave up 23 points on 339 yards of total offense, registering four sacks and forcing one turnover in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: The Vikings' defense got pretty much no help from the offense in this one, but the unit hung tough regardless. The Vikings head into Week 10 tied for the league lead in sacks (29) and ranked second in yards allowed per game (280.0). Minnesota also ranks first in points allowed per game at 14.5.
Will Reichard made both of his field-goal attempts in Monday's 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: The Vikings' offense was almost completely stifled Monday night, leaving Reichard as the only Minnesota player to put up any points. The third-year kicker is 1-of-5 in the NFL with as many as 20 field goals made so far this season, and he's missed just two in the process.
Tyler Bass made all three of his field-goal attempts and both PATs in Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: Bass made good on all of his opportunities in Monday's win, remaining an impressive 19-of-19 on FG attempts this season. The veteran kicker is an excellent fantasy option given the Bills' offensive prowess.
The Bills' defense gave up only six points on 178 yards of total offense, coming up with two sacks and three takeaways in Monday night's 23-6 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact: This performance was probably more revealing of the Vikings' offensive ineptitude than the Bills' defensive dominance, but the latter reaped the benefits nonetheless. The Bills' defense has had the good fortune of matching up against a pair of beaten-down offenses over the past two weeks and has taken full advantage. The unit could remain a sneaky fantasy play with contests against the Jets and Dolphins coming up.
