  (10.1%), Laquon Treadwell 25 (9.7%), Dalvin Cook 12 (-1.9%), Latavius Murray 11 (0%), C.J. Ham 11 (0%)

Tuttle’s Take:

The Vikings remain uninterested in running the ball and that’s unlikely to change regardless of if a questionable Dalvin Cook is able to suit up this week. Minnesota ranks 31st in rush attempts as QB Kirk Cousins shoulders the majority of the offensive workload, funneling targets to Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Thielen has been remarkable this season, topping 100-yards in every game and averaging a massive 27.8 DK points per game over that five-game stretch. He’s the most reliable/consistent fantasy asset this season and he’s finally starting to get priced like it – he’s WR2 on DK and WR4 on FD. Despite his consistency, Thielen will likely continue to be under-owned this week with the majority of owners spending up for Julio at the WR position. Thielen is a strong GPP option as a pivot off Julio and a fine secondary option in cash games.
