Recent losses slow Minnesota
The Minnesota Vikings enter Week 10 at 6-2 after consecutive losses, most recently a 23-6 defeat against the Buffalo Bills at U.S. Bank Stadium. Minnesota has scored 146 points and allowed 116 this season, a plus-30 differential. But the Vikings have been outscored 42-21 over their past two games, following a 19-15 loss at Detroit with their six-point performance against Buffalo. Those defeats followed wins over Indianapolis, 16-10 in Week 7, and New Orleans, 23-13 in Week 5.
Jefferson leads the fantasy totals
Justin Jefferson leads Minnesota with 93.2 PPR points this season. Kicker Will Reichard is next at 90.0, followed by tight end T.J. Hockenson at 85.8, running back Aaron Jones at 82.9 and quarterback Kyler Murray at 71.6. Week 9 brought modest fantasy returns. Reichard led the team with 9.0 points, ahead of Jefferson at 8.8 and Hockenson at 7.3. Running back Jordan Mason added 6.2, while Minnesota's defense finished with 6.0. Jefferson remains Minnesota's season-long fantasy leader, though his Week 9 total and Hockenson's both fell short of double digits.
Green Bay is next
The Vikings visit the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 10. Kickoff is scheduled for Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. ET. Minnesota heads into that matchup after scoring 15 points and then six in its past two outings. Improving on that recent production is the immediate task as the Vikings try to end their two-game skid.
