- Matchup (?)
Availability
The Vikings D/ST allowed 16 points on 243 total yards with six sacks and two interceptions on Sunday against the Bucs.
Fantasy Impact
The Vikings D/ST also scored a touchdown on a punt return. Minnesota needed its defense to come through as the offense struggled for most of the afternoon. They will be a top play next week against the Dolphins.
The Vikings D/ST registered four sacks while also forcing two turnovers (one interception, one fumble recovery) in a 9-3 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was able to stand tall against a Chicago ground attack, holding both D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai to less than 50 yards rushing each. The defense will look to take advantage of a turnover-prone Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense in Week 3.
The Vikings D/ST allowed 22 points on 419 total yards with one interception, one fumble recovery and four sacks on Sunday against the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Minnesota struggled in the first half defensively, but limited Green Bay to just three points in the second half where they out-scored the Packers 29-3. They'll be tough to trust next week against the Bears.
The Minnesota Vikings D/ST allowed only 121 yards of total offense and sacked Green Bay quarterback Clayton Tune four times en route to a 16-3 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Green Bay rested most of its starters on Sunday as it entered the game locked into the #7 seed in the NFC. However, take nothing away from the Vikings, who allowed -7 net passing yards on the afternoon. Minnesota finished with four sacks - two by Dallas Turner - and also had eight tackles for a loss.
The Vikings D/ST registered five sacks while also forcing six turnovers (two interceptions, four fumble recoveries) in a 23-10 win over the Lions in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
The unit continues to terrorize opposing quarterbacks, recording two or more sacks in each of his last five games. The defense could be in line for another impactful performance against a Green Bay Packers team with little to play for in Week 18.
