Fantasy Football Player Notes
2019 Draft Rankings
|
12.
Dalvin Cook
RB - (vs . CHI)
We've yet to see Cook stay healthy throughout an NFL season, but that's not stopping drafters from taking him with a pick inside the first two rounds. The Vikings are a high-powered offense who upgraded their offensive line this offseason, so the appeal is justified. The Vikings did draft Alexander Mattison in the third-round, so they're obviously concerned about the depth behind Cook, but he's the starter as long as he's healthy

26.
Adam Thielen
WR - (vs . CHI)
It was right to be a bit hesitant about Thielen last year, as it was going to be tough for both him and Stefon Diggs to be top-15 options. Fortunately, he and Diggs each saw at least 150 targets allowing both of them to finish as top-10 options. They didn't add anyone to take targets away from them, outside of rookie tight end Irv Smith Jr., and we all know not to expect much out of rookie tight ends. It is worth noting, though, that after his hot start, Thielen was the WR23 from Week 9 through Week 16

33.
Stefon Diggs
WR - (vs . CHI)
It's been quite the career arc for Diggs who has gone from the WR46 his rookie year, to the WR30, WR19, and then WR10 in 2018 while collecting a career-high 150 targets. That's important, as it shows his new quarterback Kirk Cousins trusts him. With Adam Thielen around, it'll be tough for him to break into the top-five, but Diggs should be considered a relatively safe low-end WR1 in fantasy circles who would have top-five upside should something happen to Thielen

131.
Kirk Cousins
QB - (vs . CHI)
Despite him finishing as the No. 12 quarterback last year in what was a disastrous offensive season, it shows the floor Cousins should provide in fantasy. While the Vikings have said they'd like to run the ball more often, their offensive line isn't built to run the ball 30 times per game. Cousins has Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen at his disposal with a year of chemistry between them. He's not someone you want to start every week, but he offers streaming potential when in games against high-scoring opponents

157.
Kyle Rudolph
TE - (vs . CHI)
After getting his contract extension to stay with the Vikings, it should be expected for him to remain the starter while they bring rookie Irv Smith Jr. along slowly. Rudolph may have shown up as the No. 8 fantasy tight end at year's end, but he produced top-12 type numbers in just 31.3 percent of his games, while scoring less than 7.0 PPR points in 43.8 percent of his games. With the Vikings talking about a more run-heavy approach in 2019, Rudolph's numbers will suffer even more

|
158.
Alexander Mattison
RB - (vs . CHI)
It is easy to get excited about Mike Boone but the fact of the matter is that Mattison is the clear-cut handcuff to the frail Dalvin Cook, as evidenced by his draft capital and the touches he received with the second team all preseason. This makes him a high-end backup worth targeting.

180.
Minnesota Vikings
DST - (vs . CHI)
The Vikings have finished as a D/ST1 each of the past five seasons and are a good bet to do the same once again in 2019 since they return the vast majority of their talent. There are several unplayable games on their schedule, however, so make sure you have a plan for those if you draft them.
