Minnesota Vikings DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor can be safely avoided for fantasy purposes this Sunday when the team travels to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans. The third-year wideout had a few useful fantasy performances in the season's early going but has recorded just four receptions and 34 yards on eight targets over the prior three contests. Nailor will get a difficult test this weekend against a Titans defense that has been excellent against the pass thus far in 2024. Tennessee is allowing their opponents 5.3 yards per pass attempt and has let up an average of just 13.6 fantasy points per game to the WR position. Additionally, Nailor has become an even more distant option in the Vikings' air attack, with tight end T.J. Hockenson back in the fold. The 25-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR WR74 in this week's rankings.

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason will back up All-Pro Christian McCaffrey in a Week 11 home date with the Seattle Seahawks. Mason was found money in fantasy in the early part of the year, performing like an RB1 with McCaffrey (Achilles) sidelined. That was until Mason struggled with a shoulder injury of his own and ceded snaps to rookie Isaac Guerendo. Last week as predicted, the return of McCaffrey was near-absolute, even in his first game back. Mason and Guerendo each received one carry and no targets. It was proof that head coach Kyle Shanahan's idea of easing his starter back from a lengthy absence doesn't include significant involvement from his other running backs. CMC is the bell cow, making Mason no more than a bench stash in Week 11.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will be a top play at the position this Sunday when his team lines up against the Tennessee Titans. The former eighth-overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft was back to a staple option in the Vikings offense in just his second game back from a devastating knee injury, racking up eight receptions and 72 yards on nine targets. Perhaps even more impressively, he did so on less than half the team's snaps (46%). Hockenson will get his toughest test thus far in a Titans defense that has stifled their opponent's passing games in 2024. Tennessee has let up an average of just 4.3 fantasy points per game to the TE position and is allowing an abysmal 5.3 yards per pass attempt. However, the 27-year-old's involvement should keep him in the conversation as one of the better performers at tight end this weekend. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE5 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is an unenticing fantasy option in Week 11 when his team takes on the Tennessee Titans on the road. The second-year wideout is averaging a paltry three receptions and 42.6 yards per contest through seven appearances. He has been marginally more involved over the prior two weeks, garnering at least five targets in both outings. Still, it won't be easy to trust him this coming Sunday against one of the more effective pass defenses in the league. Tennessee has been committed to shutting down their opponent's air attacks, allowing an average of just 111 yards per game to wideouts and the fewest fantasy points per game to the position (13.6). Addison presents as RotoBaller's PPR WR49 for this weekend's slate of games.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is in store for his most challenging outing of the season this Sunday when his team travels to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans. The superstar wideout had his worst outing of 2024 in last weekend's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, failing to score at least 15 fantasy points for the first time. He'll get another staunch test in Week 11 in a Titans defensive unit that's allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs this season (13.6 per game). Still, the 25-year-old is the league's second-leading receiver (831), averaging an astounding 92.3 yards per game and remaining a must-start option. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 in this week's rankings.
