Minnesota Vikings DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones delivered his best fantasy performance of the season in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Washington Commanders, throwing for 174 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Jones struggled early, going into halftime with zero passing yards, but rebounded in the second half with 20 completions on 26 attempts and an efficient 6.7 yards per attempt. Adding to his fantasy value, Jones rushed for 54 yards and scored a rushing touchdown, showcasing his dual-threat ability despite being sacked twice. Finishing with 24.36 fantasy points, Jones posted his highest output of the season, making him a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing Giants loss.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard will again be a strong play this Sunday when his team lines up against the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. The rookie has been one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL thus far in 2024 and has an excellent chance to put together another solid outing against a poor Colts defense in Week 9. Despite Indy giving up a ton of yards to opposing offenses, they've only allowed 21.5 points per game -- paving the way for some built-in opportunities for the 23-year-old in a juicy matchup. The Alabama product has connected on all 14 of his field goal attempts this season and nailed all 20 extra-point attempts, too. Fire him up confidently as RotoBaller's K5 in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler will square off against the Indianapolis Colts at home this Sunday in one of the better on-paper matchups of Week 9. While Minnesota projects to have its way with a non-existent Colts defense, Chandler still won't be a recommended option in the juicy matchup. The 26-year-old back is a distant second option out of the Vikings backfield behind veteran Aaron Jones and likely won't put together a valuable fantasy performance unless Jones misses time or Minnesota blows Indy out of the water. Neither of these outcomes is exactly projectable. As RotoBaller's RB52 in PPR formats in this week's ranks, Chandler presents as little more than a desperation play as the handcuff to own behind Jones.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison gets a tantalizing Week 9 matchup when his team hosts the visiting Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The second-year wideout has been mildly disappointing in 2024 after a breakout rookie season, but he has a chance to right the ship against a soft Colts defense at U.S. Bank Stadium. Indianapolis is affording their opponent's passing attacks the eighth-highest yards per pass attempt (6.7) and has let up the ninth-most passing first downs in the NFL (91). The 22-year-old could be in store for a nice performance on the field but might not be a boon to your lineup unless he scores a touchdown -- something he's done just once this season after notching ten such in his rookie campaign. Addison is the PPR WR39 in RotoBaller's Week 9 ranks.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson should challenge for the overall WR1 on the week this Sunday when his team hosts the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent wideouts in 2024, sans an outing with fewer than 15 fantasy points. The superstar WR has just one outing on the entire season with fewer than 81 receiving yards and stands an excellent chance to put together his best performance yet against a sieve-like Colts defense. On the season, Indy has given up 6.7 yards per attempt to opposing passing attacks -- a bottom-eight figure in the NFL -- and is having trouble stopping any aspect of an opponent's offensive game plan. Fire Jets up ahead of a tantalizing matchup, as he ranks as RotoBaller's top wide receiver play of Week 9.
