Minnesota Vikings DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor will not be a recommended option this Monday night when his team takes on the Chicago Bears. Minnesota's passing offense has been excellent this season under quarterback Sam Darnold, compiling the ninth-most points per game in the NFL (26.1). However, Nailor has not contributed much since a four-catch 76-yard outing in Week 7. Over the following seven games, the 25-year-old has accumulated just six catches and 57 yards on 14 targets. This includes two goose eggs in which he garnered none. With fellow wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison dominating targets, it is too difficult to trust the third-year wideout as a viable fantasy alternative as he is, at best, the fourth or fifth option on his squad. Nailor ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR87 for Week 15.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to continue his hot stretch in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. The second-year wideout began the season slow and mostly uninvolved in Minnesota's offense. However, that all changed in his first meeting against the Bears in Week 12 when he went off for eight receptions, 162 yards, and a TD. Since then, Addison has put together an impressive 20/349/4 line -; a stark contrast to the 24/359/3 he racked up over his first eight games. Chicago was a chore for opposing passing attacks earlier this year, but they've softened up a bit since their loss to the Vikings. The USC product is getting hot at the right time, and Minnesota's offense has looked good. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR26 in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will get a rematch against the visiting Chicago Bears in Week 15 on Monday Night Football. Jefferson had a tough go against his division rivals in Week 12, putting up his only stinker of the season (2/27). At the same time, fellow wideout Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson stole the show with massive performances. Otherwise, the superstar WR has been stellar again in 2024 with just one other single-digit fantasy point total. Additionally, he's coming off his best outing of the season and his third 130-plus-yard game of the year. With Minnesota's offense rolling, fire up the 25-year-old as a top option at his position. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR4 ahead of this week's slate of action.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (back) could have another strong outing this Monday night against their division-rival Chicago Bears. The veteran runner was outstanding in the two teams' last meeting, churning out 129 total yards and a touchdown in the road tilt. While the Bears have typically been sound against the pass this season, they've allowed gobs of yards on the ground (134.8 per game) and are tied for the third-most rush yards per attempt (4.8). Through 14 weeks, Chicago is letting up 25.5 fantasy points per game to running backs -; the eighth highest. Fantasy managers can comfortably slot Jones into their lineup as a solid RB2 with upside. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB20 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold is an excellent QB1 play in Week 15 despite a tough rematch with the Chicago Bears. Darnold and the Vikings squared off against the Bears back in Week 12, pulling out a thrilling OT victory on the road. Chicago has limited quarterbacks to just 13 passing scores and 15 fantasy points per game through 2024. However, they've let up 876 passing yards since their last meeting and a 6:0 TD:INT ratio. The 27-year-old has been superb in his first stint with the Vikes, turning in seven top-ten fantasy finishes at his position and no interceptions in four straight outings. He should be productive again this week and ranks as RotoBaller's QB6 ahead of their tilt on Monday Night Football.
