  • MIN Wide Receiver #17
    Osborn has yet to make good on the increase in opportunity gifted him by the absence of alpha wide receiver Justin Jefferson. His only useful fantasy outing since Jefferson’s injury was a 99-yard effort on eight receptions against the Packers back in Week 8. Suffice to say, any remaining fantasy value for Osborn will evaporate with the likely return of Jefferson in Week 14.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #3
    Addison was the top target for Joshua Dobbs but was highly inefficient with his opportunities. Most notably, Addison failed to keep his feet inbounds on a would-be deep completion on a double move down the sideline late in the game, seemingly losing track of where he was on the field and catching the ball out of bounds. Fantasy managers are hoping the offense becomes more efficient when the team returns from their Week 13 bye with Justin Jefferson likely to return to action.
  • MIN Tight End #87
    Hockenson and the rest of the Minnesota offense struggled to get anything going against the Bears on Monday Night Football before the veteran tight end found the end zone on a crossing route to the middle of the end zone to give the Vikings their first lead of the game with just under six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. It looked like the Vikings were going to hold on for an ugly win after recovering a Justin Fields fumble on the subsequent drive, but a quick three-and-out gave the ball back to the Bears and allowed them to set up a game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining. Either way, Hockenson continues to return elite fantasy value at a barren position with Joshua Dobbs under center, a welcome sight for fantasy managers that invested hefty capital in the veteran tight end.
  • MIN Running Back #2
    The final stat line leaves a lot to be desired for fantasy managers that invested a pick in the top six rounds in the first-time starter, but at least he maintained control of the backfield over Ty Chandler. Mattison’s 12 running back opportunities doubled Chandler’s six, and the 5.2 yards per carry mark came against the defense allowing the fewest yards per carry this season. Mattison and the Vikings head to their Week 13 bye before traveling to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders their next time out.
  • MIN Quarterback #15
    Dobbs committed four turnovers before leading a go-ahead touchdown drive with just under six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to put the Vikings up 10-9. They recovered the second of two Justin Fields fumbles on the subsequent possession but went three-and-out following the turnover. Dobbs watched from the sideline as Fields marched the field to set up a game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining. The four turnovers marked a career-high for the veteran journeyman, not exactly the record he set out to accomplish in Week 12. The Vikings fall to 6-6 with the loss and head to their bye clinging to the seventh and final playoff spot out of the NFC. Dobbs will be back in action in Week 14 when the Vikings travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.
  • CHI Tight End #85
    Kmet notched four receptions on the opening drive and appeared primed for a massive fantasy outing before giving way to wide receiver DJ Moore the rest of the way, who put up 11 receptions on 13 targets for the Bears. Kmet remains a solid fantasy option in PPR and tight end premium formats for his consistent usage, likely requiring a touchdown to return usable weeks in half-PPR.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #2
    Moore has now surpassed 100 yards through the air in four of seven games that quarterback Justin Fields started and finished this year, hitting 96 yards in another. His 13 targets on 37 Fields pass attempts handily led the team, with the next closest pass-catcher notching just seven targets (tight end Cole Kmet). There’s no doubting the connection between Moore and his signal caller, keeping Moore in the high end WR2 conversation for as long as Fields remains healthy.
  • CHI Running Back #24
    Herbert saw the first carry of the game for the Bears but was quickly relinquished to change of pace duties behind rookie running back Roschon Johnson. D’Onta Foreman missed the contest with ankle and shin injuries but appears likely to return to some sort of timeshare after his successes with Herbert out earlier in the season. Any fantasy value remaining with Herbert appears to be quickly drying up.
  • CHI Running Back #23
    Backfield mate Khalil Herbert saw the first carry of the game for the Bears but was quickly pushed aside in favor of the bulky rookie. Whether or not the split in snaps was by design remains to be seen, which could have been influenced by the extreme blitz rates from Brian Flores’ Minnesota defense. Either way, Johnson’s 15 running back opportunities dwarfed the eight of Herbert in the absence of D’Onta Foreman, the latter of whom was out with ankle and shin injuries.
  • CHI Quarterback #1
    The Bears were able to coast throughout the game while generating four turnovers by way of four interceptions, and still required a field goal in the two-minute drill to snatch victory from their division rivals - the first win for the Bears over an NFC North opponent under head coach Matt Eberflus. Chicago ceded a go-ahead touchdown with just under six minutes left to play after the first of two Justin Fields fumbles. Fields would fumble again on the subsequent drive but stout defensive play gave the ball back to the Bears with under two minutes to play. Fields would march the team down the field to set up the game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining for the ugly win. Next up for the Bears is another divisional opponent in the Lions in Week 13.
