The Minnesota Vikings are having a busy offseason, just like the rest of the teams in the NFL. And also like the other 31 teams, they are seeing some interesting positional battles in the training camp. After missing the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, where they both finished with sub-.500 records,  the Vikings, under a […]

Kirk Cousins has had a rather interesting career. He’s never really been a top 10 quarterback, but he’s managed to earn himself massive contract after massive contract. Cousins has already earned nearly $200 million throughout his playing career despite being a relatively average quarterback. In the fantasy football sector, Cousins has largely kept a similar […]

Adam Thielen has been one of the best stories in the NFL in recent history. The Minnesota Vikings picked him up as an undrafted free agent in 2013, and over time, he’s turned himself into one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL. He’s earned two Pro-Bowl selections and a spot on the […]

The Minnesota Vikings enter a make-or-break season in 2022. Following an NFC Championship Game run in 2017, the Vikings have missed the playoffs in three of the last four seasons. After the last few seasons, many have doubts that this group can live up to expectations. Most of this Vikings roster is still intact from […]

There is always going to be a debate as to who is the best wide receiver in the NFL. While Cooper Kupp was the standout last season, there is another player who truly believes he’s a step ahead of the Los Angeles Rams wideout: Justin Jefferson. The Minnesota Vikings star recently voiced his opinion on […]

New Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell is helming his own team for the first time in his career in 2022. At Vikings training camp, he is now the final decision-maker on the entire Vikings roster and, as such, has to figure out how to take the team to the next level that former head […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins knows he’ll never be able to play like Lamar Jackson, but that doesn’t mean he’ll stop improving himself. While he can’t be as deadly as Jackson as a dual-threat QB, he understands it will benefit him to improve his mobility and let his defenders keep guessing of his next move […]

It has been a rough two years for Minnesota Vikings fans. After watching Kirk Cousins take Minnesota to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs in 2019, it seemed like the sky was the limit. Unfortunately, the following two-seasons were nothing short of disappointment, finishing under .500 in both ’20 and ’21. Through Za’Darius Smith […]

Justin Jefferson has been one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. That is not an exaggeration: the third-year Minnesota Vikings wide-out routinely balls out for his team no matter who their opponent is. In his first two seasons in the league, Jefferson has posted over 3000 yards total. That’s an incredible number for […]

The new football year is quickly approaching which means many are preparing for fantasy football once again. It’s time to dig in and find the top players, sleepers, and everything in between. The Minnesota Vikings have arguably the best wide receiver in the league. With that in mind, we take a look at Justin Jefferson’s […]

The Minnesota Vikings still consider Dalvin Cook as a huge piece of their offense, and it’s not hard to see why. Even after a bit of a down year in 2021 (when compared to his 2020 campaign), Cook still gave his fantasy football managers last season a ton of happy memories. However, those didn’t come […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been the one team in the NFC North to give the Green Bay Packers problems during Aaron Rodgers’ career. Rodgers is 22-5 vs. the Chicago Bears and 18-6 vs. the Detroit Lions. But he is only 14-10-1 in his career vs. the Vikings. Minnesota has hopes of finally retaking the division […]

It’s no secret that now-ex-Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with star quarterback Kirk Cousins. Who could forget about their infamous sideline incident back in October when the pair got involved in a bit of a shoving match after the Vikings’ victory over the Detroit Lions? Both Cousins and Zimmer were […]

The massive contracts that wide receivers have signed this offseason should be of interest to the Minnesota Vikings. With Justin Jefferson emerging as one of the best receivers in the league in just two seasons, they will surely have to lock him into a huge long-term deal after this season. However, the Vikings may somewhat […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been one of the most reliable signal-callers in the NFL for over half a decade now. But he is yet to achieve the postseason success that many of the NFL’s top quarterbacks have. Kirk Cousins has made just four playoff appearances in his career. He has started three of […]

All 32 NFL teams have made their returns to training camp. This is a time when spirits are high, each team has hopes, and players are ready to make a statement. For most players, this statement is hoped to be made on the court, however, there are a few guys who made their arrival felt […]

Stefon Diggs hasn’t played for the Minnesota Vikings since 2019. As Dalvin Cook trained over the offseason, though, the Pro Bowl running back nevertheless looked to his former teammate as inspiration. Cook told reporters on Tuesday that he’s been undergoing acupuncture therapy this summer in hopes of preventing future injuries and aiding recovery from past […]

Dalvin Cook is clearly one of the best running backs in the NFL. Ever since the Minnesota Vikings handed him the starting role in 2019, Cook has been a force to be reckoned with. He’s made the Pro Bowl in each season he’s been a starter, while also eclipsing the 1000 yard mark in each […]

Za’Darius Smith’s decision to ditch the Green Bay Packers for the Minnesota Vikings in the off-season shocked many fans. The probability of Z leaving the team in free agency was always there. However, for Smith to join a team in the same division (the Vikings, of all teams!) came as a gut punch to fans. […]

The Minnesota Vikings have undergone changes from top to bottom during the 2022 NFL offseason. After going 8-9 last season and missing the playoffs, the Vikings decided it was time to switch things up. The front office, coaching staff, and roster have all seen radical changes in hopes that they will produce a postseason appearence […]

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson has quickly become one of the league’s best pass catchers. At just 23 years old, he has also become a fan favorite around the NFL. While he has just two years of experience, Jefferson has also earned a spot in many people’s top five receivers. He already stands […]

One could last hours debating on just which college football team is the greatest of all-time. Over the past 20 years, numerous teams made a strong case to be called the best college football side ever, including the Reggie Bush-led 2004 USC Trojans. For Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, as he noted during a […]

The Minnesota Vikings enter the 2022 NFL season hoping to reach their full potential. Minnesota boasts incredible talent such as Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, Danielle Hunter, and Harrison Smith, but they haven’t been able to put it all together. Since their NFC Championship Game appearance in 2018, the Vikings have missed the playoffs in three […]

Veteran defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is still a free agent. However, he is receiving interest on the open market. According to NFL USA Today reporter Tyler Dragon, the Browns, Raiders, and Vikings are all rumored to be interested in the 35-year old. Dragon also revealed the timetable for a Suh signing. The Browns are another […]

Having been the runner-up behind the Green Bay Packers for a good chunk of the past 10 years or so, the Minnesota Vikings are desperately looking for that push to make them divisional winners. Heading into the 2022 NFL season, their roster has a lot of talent, but which key position group will step up […]

The Minnesota Vikings are entering a crucial season. They just fired longtime head coach Mike Zimmer and longtime general manager Rick Spielman. Now rookie head coach Kevin O’Connell takes the reins of a team that certainly has enough talent to reach the postseason. However, if O’Connell fails to take his team to the playoffs, the […]

The Minnesota Vikings are one of the few teams that run most of their rushing offense through one player. Vikings running back Dalvin Cook relishes his status as the rare bell-cow: “I could get the ball 30 times, and you could give it to me 30 more times the next game… Being a bell-cow running […]

After producing a disappointing 8-9 finish, the Minnesota Vikings have a lot to improve for the 2022 NFL season. With Justin Jefferson looking to build off yet another superb campaign, the sky is the limit for both the predictions and record for this team. Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook, and Kirk Cousins all return to […]

After putting up an 8-9 record that led to the firing of Mike Zimmer, the Minnesota Vikings are hoping that their 2022 season is better. With Dalvin Cook primed to take another step forward in Kevin O’Connell’s offense and first-year GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah taking over personnel moves, all signs are pointing up for Minnesota. Realistically, […]

It’s been a busy offseason for the Minnesota Vikings as the franchise gears up to hopefully reclaim the NFC North from the Green Bay Packers. It’ll be tough to do, but this team has the makings of a serious playoff contender for the upcoming season. Regardless, it would be smart of the front office to […]

It is safe to assume that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson didn’t like the team’s offense under Mike Zimmer during the 2021 season. The Vikings were not the worst offensive team in the NFL in the past season, but they had their issues as their attack was rather easy to deal with. Perhaps the […]

The Minnesota Vikings do not lack for talent, especially on the offensive side of the football. Well, on Tuesday, their offensive skill increased a little bit more. According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, the Vikings have signed former Miami Dolphins receiver Albert Wilson to a one-year contract. Former Dolphins’ free-agent WR Albert Wilson has […]

On Monday, it was revealed that Jeff Gladney has passed away in a car accident. It’s not an easy situation by any means, as the former Minnesota Vikings’ first-round pick was just 25 years old. He was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft class along with Justin Jefferson. The standout receiver sent […]

Monday, Philadelphia Eagles WR Jalen Reagor took to Twitter to mourn the passing of former Texas Christian University teammate and Minnesota Vikings first-round pick Jeff Gladney.

The Minnesota Vikings have done a solid job at generating a talented team to compete in the NFC North. They have impressive offensive weapons in Justin Jefferson and Dalvin Cook while the defense has slowly improved as well. Even so, this franchise could use a boost from its rookie class. For that reason, we take […]

The Minnesota Vikings ushered in a new era when they brought in a new head coach, Kevin O’Connell, and a new general manager, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. However, some familiar faces, such as quarterback Kirk Cousins, remain with the team. This means a new offense for the Vikings under O’Connell, which is a familiar change for Cousins, […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has been one of the best at his position in fantasy football when he’s healthy and on the field. A Pro Bowler in each of the last three seasons, Cook has finished as a top-7 PPR running back in two of the last three campaigns. Already an elite halfback […]

The Minnesota Vikings are always an interesting team to watch when the draft rolls around. New general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah continued a long-standing Minnesota tradition of trading down and acquiring plenty of extra draft capital. With so many draft picks coming into the building, one of them is bound to make an unexpectedly large impact. […]

The NFC North should be an interesting race, as the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings look like the top two teams in the division. For Minnesota, they’re finally within striking distance of taking over the division from Green Bay. However, picking up some additional help out of free agency would help. We go over […]
