The Vikings D/ST turned in a quiet performance in Week 16, forcing just one turnover (one fumble recovery) and recording one sack in the Vikings' 30-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
The unit especially struggled to contain a strong Detroit rushing attack, allowing 143 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a losing effort. The D/ST has been difficult for fantasy managers to trust for much of the season and should remain a risky option in a Week 17 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
