Good afternoon Horners! from laiyongcai92's blog

 Well Cheap Kirk Cousins Jersey , I hope it is a good one, even though the Minnesota Vikings lost to the New Orleans Saints. Ted, Drew and I got together immediately after the game to talk about what we all witnessed. Was it just us, or did you see the motivation leave the Vikings like air escaping a balloon, right after the Adam Thielen fumble?Both Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs had games with over 100 yards caught and a TD each. Captain Kirk Cousins threw for over 350 yards, and the defense held Drew Brees to only 120 yards even though Xavier Rhodes and Anthony Barr being out with injuries. Looking at the box score stats, you would have thought the Vikes won by two touchdowns鈥?but you would be wrong.The Vikings lost 30-20 at home against the second-best team in the NFC. It definitely had early playoff implications, especially when you think of the upcoming games. The Vikes have the Lions at home, their bye, a road game against the Bears, back home against the Packers, then a road trip that will crisscross the country going out to the Patriots and then out west to visit the Seahawks. We will definitely know by the end of that stretch just how good this team actually is. It doesn’t look like they are meeting pre-season expectations, for sure. Watch the show and see the questioning of Laquon Treadwell, John DeFilippo [or is it DeFiloppo?] and his odd play calling at times, clock management versus play execution, and the other things that had us wondering why this game didn’t go better. We now will look forward to Mathew Stafford and his Lions heading to US Bank, where they have yet to lose. Oh, what a great way to start your week [sarcasm].

Most of this success came without the services of Dalvin Cook, following his ACL tear in Week 4. Coming into 2018, all pundits, writers, fantasy owners, and probably the Vikings themselves thought this was something that would be good again, or even improve upon Dalvin’s return. However, with the exception of this previous week’s performance vs. Arizona, that has been far from the case.Entering Week 7, the Vikings are averaging a horrendous 87.3 rushing yards/game http://www.vikingscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-eric-kendricks-jersey , 28th in the NFL. When they acquired Kirk Cousins, seemingly pairing him with a strong running game was his missing piece. Not having a strong running game to go to as a tone setter in the 1st quarter has been an enormous issue. So what are the values of Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray?It’s very feasible that Cook’s hamstring injury could nag for the duration of the 2018 campaign, which makes it even more feasible that him and Murray have a more even split of touches than what was originally anticipated. It’s also possible Cook makes his living catching passes, at least as far as fantasy output goes, not that it solves the issues of having an incompetent rushing attack thus far. However, that can’t be all put in Cook. Statistically, he’s been one of the league’s best at making people miss. While it’s a good showing of his strong set of skills, it’s also an indicator of just how poor the offensive line has been, which has also struggled to consistently protect Kirk Cousins.One thing that also needs to be taken into consideration is the fact that C.J. Ham, Roc Thomas, and Mike Boone are all being kept on the roster. All three have had their share of touches, and Ham was lined up in the backfield on Cousins’ touchdown run against Arizona. It’s entirely possible that this was done by Mike Zimmer already having an idea that Cook may struggle with his health this season. For someone taken so high in fantasy drafts prior to the season, many owners of Cook (myself included) can’t be to happy about this.Simply put, no Vikings running back is a weekly top choice to start on your team. There are too many questions about how far the offensive line has regressed from a season ago, and too many touches going around to all the backs on the roster. The Vikings also have become so pass-heavy that they will likely have more games where they don’t run the ball 20 times. Getting to that threshold each week could result in more wins, but not translate to points for fantasy teams. Thus, be mindful about starting Cook or Murray each week, as long as the current trend doesn’t go in an upward direction.
