Minnesota Vikings
DST - Minnesota Vikings
Availability
The Vikings D/ST allowed 24 points on 361 total yards with two interceptions and two sacks on Sunday against the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
Minnesota was able to pick Geno Smith off twice, one clinching the win in the final minute of Sunday's game. They'll take on the Packers next week in a divisional matchup.
The Vikings D/ST allowed 12 points while notching two sacks and forcing one turnover in a 30-12 win over the Bears in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact
Minnesota made things difficult for Chicago's offense in the blowout win as the Bears went into the fourth quarter with just six points. The Vikings got sacks from Jonathan Greenard and Dallas Turner in the win. They could be in for a plus matchup against Sam Howell and the Seahawks in Week 16 if Geno Smith (knee) is unable to play after he got knocked out of a Week 15 loss to the Packers early. Howell struggled in relief of Smith in the loss, completing just five of 14 passes while taking four sacks.
The Vikings D/ST force two turnovers (two interceptions) to go along with one sack in a 42-21 win over the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
The unit continues an impactful stretch, recording two or more turnovers in four of the last six games. The defense should be active once again for fantasy managers, with a favorable Week 15 contest against the Chicago Bears up next.
The Vikings D/ST forced two turnovers (two interceptions) while also recording one sack in a 23-22 win over the Cardinals in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact
The unit has been steady of late, recording at least one sack and one turnover in five of the last seven games. The defense will look to take advantage of turnover-prone quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14.
The Vikings D/ST recorded three sacks while also recording a fumble in a 30-27 Week 12 win over the Bears.
Fantasy Impact
The unit had an uncharacteristic performance against an inconsistent Chicago offense, allowing 398 total offensive yards to go along with scores on the ground and through the air. The unit will look to get back on track in a Week 13 contest against the Arizona Cardinals.
