Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 21-of-31 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He rushed for an additional 22 yards on four carries. The 27-year-old had a weird first half this afternoon -- leading his team to two field goals on ten-play drives on two of their three possessions. However, he'd pick it up after that, tossing both of his TDs in the second half, battling back down two scores to earn his fifth straight win. Darnold's touchdowns were from four and five yards out, and he's now gone two consecutive games without a turnover. The USC product will prepare for a juicy Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta had given up the seventh-most passing yards per contest through 12 weeks (229.9).

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers shouldn't be relied on as a viable source of fantasy output this Sunday when he takes on the Arizona Cardinals. Akers looked like he was trending toward commanding a larger share of the workload, but it appeared to be for just a few games as backfield mate Aaron Jones battled through an injury. Last week, in the team's win over the Chicago Bears, Jones garnered all but four of Minnesota's 29 backfield touches. The lead back is again primed for another productive day against a Cardinals squad letting up 24.6 fantasy points per game to running backs -- the tenth-most in the league. With Jones back to dominating touches in the Vikings' offense, the 25-year-old is again relegated to handcuff or deep-league-stash status. Akers is RotoBaller's PPR RB51 in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson could again be in store for a productive day this weekend when his team hosts the visiting Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old now has two excellent and two subpar outings in his first stretch back from a devastating knee injury. Hockenson has combined for 15 receptions and 186 yards on 18 targets in the former. However, he has just five receptions and 40 yards in the other two. The one clear difference between his appearance against the Bears in Week 12 and the other three is his snap share, which skyrocketed to 68% after hovering around 46% previously. This was due to teammate Josh Oliver (hand) being ruled out for the contest, but that will again be the case this Sunday when he lines up against the Cardinals. With increasing involvement in the offense, he can again be trusted as a top fantasy option at his position. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE6 for this week's slate of games.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor is not a recommended option in Week 13 when his team faces off against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year wideout got back in the end zone in Minnesota's OT victory over the Chicago Bears -; his fifth score of the season. However, Nailor has not hauled in more than one pass or garnered greater than four targets but once since Week 8. While two of his five catches in that span found pay dirt, he's combined for 39 yards over the last five games. The 25-year-old has flashed upside at points during the year, but as no better than the fourth option on his team in the pecking order, he'll be difficult to trust as a lineup fixture. Nailor is RotoBaller's PPR WR87 in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is set for another difficult outing this Sunday when his team hosts the visiting Arizona Cardinals. The USC product is coming off a career day where he racked up eight receptions, 162 yards, and a touchdown on nine targets against a solid Chicago Bears defense. Arizona provides stiff competition on the back end, but Addison's outlook is on the rise after four straight games with an elevated target share. It's worth noting that his production has come at the expense of superstar teammate Justin Jefferson. We've yet to see the duo go off in the same game, though quarterback Sam Darnold did support tight end T.J. Hockenson's valuable outing (7/114) in the Week 12 win. With Darnold and Minnesota's offense back on track, the 22-year-old becomes a more intriguing option, considering the rise in his usage. Addison is RotoBaller's PPR WR41 ahead of Week 13's slate.
