Vikings | Two TDs for Justin Jefferson Sun Dec 8, 06:19 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson caught seven passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson's numbers hadn't been matching his level play until this game. He and the Vikings passing game are heating up at the right time as Jefferson hasn't been a first round fantasy bust, but he also hasn't been the everyweek advantage that fantasy players envisioned even though Sam Darnold has greatly exceeded expectations. |

Vikings | Jordan Addison catches three TDs Sun Dec 8, 06:14 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison caught eight passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He was targeted 12 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Addison also drew a long pass interference. The Falcons pass defense had no answer for him as he got open deep and in the red zone. Addison was a week winner and goes into a matchup with the Bears as a must start play in Week 15 no matter how good your other options are. |

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones rushed for 73 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He also caught two passes for 11 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Jones scored the last of the Vikings six touchdowns to seal the win and help fantasy teams. The Vikings passing game carried the offense, so Jones didn't have a big game, but the defenses left on the Vikings schedule are on notice after Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison were wide open downfield more than once today. Jones is a borderline RB1 against the Bears next week. |

Vikings | Five touchdowns for Sam Darnold Sun Dec 8, 05:48 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold went 22-for-28 for 347 yards and five touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He also rushed for seven yards on four carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Darnold was outstanding against a revived Falcons pass rush. He was able to find Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson open downfield with regularity as the Vikings pass offense looks as dangerous as it has all year. The Vikings will face a weary Bears defense next week and Darnold deserves to be in consideration as your fantasy playoffs QB1 unless you have an elite option and he's your backup. |
