Aldrick Robinson scores against the Jets.

Robinson caught a 34-yard touchdown on a fourth-down attempt in the fourth quarter. The score was on a deep ball down the left sideline, and it was his lone reception of the day. The veteran receiver is a very good weapon for the Vikings in real life, but he’s not a fantasy option right now.

Adam Thielen goes over 100 yards again in Vikings’ win.

Thielen caught nine passes for 110 yards and one touchdown against the Jets, with the score coming on a 34-yard deep ball in the first quarter. With the performance, Thielen is the first player in the Super Bowl era with over 100 receiving yards in his team’s first seven games of the season. Thielen is basically unstoppable right now, and the Saints will have their hands full trying to stop him next Sunday night.

Nelson Agholor contained on six receptions in Week 7 loss.

Agholor caught six-of-seven passes for 20 yards, as he was mostly used as an underneath option with Zach Ertz and Alshon Jeffery taking most of the downfield looks. The USC product has struggled to produce since Carson Wentz look over under center in Week 3, but if the 3-4 Eagles want to turn things around, they need to feature Agholor like they did in their Super Bowl run. Next week, Jacksonville has been vulnerable in the slot, but Agholor won’t be a confident WR2 until Doug Pederson schemes things up for him and/or Carson Wentz starts consistently looking in his direction.

Stefon Diggs catches eight passes in Week 7.

Diggs couldn’t get much going on his eight receptions, gaining just 33 yards against the Jets. He also had two carries for -7 yards. Diggs’ 14 targets were a team-high, but it was again Adam Thielen (110 yards, touchdown) that was the top performer for the Vikings. Next week, Diggs faces the Saints team he was on the receiving end of the “Minneapolis Miracle” against in the Divisional Round last season.

Mike Boone gets four carries against the Jets.

Boone gained four yards on his four attempts in the Vikings’ Week 7 win. Boone isn’t getting enough work to deliver fantasy value right now.

Dallas Goedert scores in loss to the Panthers.

Goedert caught four passes for 43 yards and a touchdown, which came from one yard away in the third quarter to give Philly a 17-0 lead. After that, it was all Carolina with 21 unanswered points, but the looks were at least encouraging for the rookie tight end. Goedert is worth considering as a TE2 next week in London against the Jaguars.

Roc Thomas gets one carry in Week 7.

Thomas gained 23 yards on his lone attempt against the Jets. He’s very good depth for the Vikings in real life, but Thomas is not a recommended fantasy option.
