Detroit Lions 3-2 at Minnesota Vikings 2-3
Week 6 – Minnesota Vikings Fantasy Forecast
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
None. Minnesota is a very hot and cold offense. Detroit is a very hot defense.
Gut Calls
Matt Asiata – 21st Ranked RB
Last week he got you 5 points. This week he is facing Detroit and they are tougher against the run then Green Bay. I would start Asiata over any other Viking. Asiata is a boom or bust player. If he continues on his fantasy path he would have a good week this week.
Cordarrelle Patterson – 34th Ranked WR
Patterson doesn’t really deserve to be ranked at all with the numbers he has put up in the last four weeks but hell Minnesota needs him if they want to win. Detroit is awesome against the pass so I wouldn’t bet on this to be his bounce back week. I would continue to bench him until week 7 or 8.
Jerick McKinnon – 38th Ranked RB
Bench Warmers
Teddy Bridgewater – 24th Ranked QB
Bridgewater says he is 100% healthy. Well that is nice but his matchup is not. Detroit gives up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. That is any quarterback not just a backup, injured Rookie who has very little weapons that have been affective.
Greg Jennings – 61st Ranked WR
