Minnesota Vikings

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) said he's continuing to rehab his knee and plans to be ready to play by the start of training camp. Jones tore his ACL in early November, ending his season. Giants' GM Joe Schoen noted that the team plans to continue to build around Jones, but understands that he may not be ready to play in Week 1. The Giants own the sixth-overall pick in the NFL Draft and may use that asset to select another franchise quarterback.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold took all the snaps under center in Sunday's 21-20 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The former first-round pick got his only start of the season with regular starter Brock Purdy resting in a game the 49ers entered having already nailed down the No.1 playoff seed in the NFC. Darnold completed 16 of 26 attempts for 189 yards passing and one touchdown. He also added seven carries for 19 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Sunday's game was a decent showcase for Darnold as he'll be a free agent this summer hoping to sign somewhere with a chance to compete for a starting job in 2024.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones took 22 carries for 111 yards and caught all five of his targets for a gain of 30 yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The veteran has gained more than 100 yards on the ground in the third week in a row. The only thing missing for Jones was a touchdown, a feat he has not achieved since Week 9. While this past season was filled with injuries for the 29-year-old, he is heating up at the right time and will look to parlay his recent success into another monster game next week when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys. Jones will be a popular addition to daily fantasy rosters during Wild Card weekend next week.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler can be left on the bench in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 18 game versus the Detroit Lions. A variety of factors contribute to Chandler's lack of reliability this week, including a very difficult matchup. The Lions' defense has surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, holding them to an average of just 58.4 rushing yards per game. Furthermore, Chandler continues to split snaps with Alexander Mattison. The 25-year-old played just 57 percent of offensive snaps last week, accruing 40 rushing and 24 receiving yards. Fantasy managers preparing for the final week of the season should look elsewhere for production at the running back position.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison ranks as a low-end WR3/FLEX option for Week 18 against the Detroit Lions. The rookie has endured a rollercoaster season, posting impressive results as the primary offensive target but also delivering some dud games. He has 1.2 and 5.8 points (PPR) over the last two weeks, respectively, creating some real concern about his value for this Sunday. It should be noted that the 21-year-old has played at least 90 percent of snaps in eight of his last nine games, so now he just needs Nick Mullens to look his way more often. Addison's low floor and high ceiling put him in the WR3/FLEX tier this Sunday.
