Stefon Diggs battles groin injury in Vikings’ win.

It’s unclear when exactly Diggs injured his groin against the Bears, but it was clearly bothering him for most of the game. He ended up with one reception on four targets, gaining four yards. Now he has a short week before facing the Packers on Sunday, and the injury is something to keep an eye. Diggs had over 200 yards and two touchdowns combined in the two games against Green Bay last year, and he’d continue to be a very good fantasy option despite the injury-riddled, down performance tonight.

Ryan Griffin caught three passes for 52 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns.

Griffin was a recommended streaming option in a tremendous matchup, and he put in a solid effort for fantasy owners, especially with Houston playing ahead all game. He can go back to the waiver wire heading into a matchup with the Seahawks next Sunday.

Michael Floyd catches one pass in Vikings debut.

Floyd first entered the game on a third down on the second drive of the game for Minnesota. His lone reception was a nice 19-yard catch down the sideline where he got both feet in bounds. The former Cardinal and Patriot was also brought into motion and used as an extra blocker a few times, something he’s good at with his big frame. Floyd’s role could grow as the season moves forward, and he could become a solid red zone target for the Vikings.

Taylor Gabriel gets eight targets in Week 6.

Gabriel’s eight targets were second on the team, as he worked are more of an underneath guy with Mohamed Sanu out. Gabriel caught four passes for 39 yards in the loss to the Dolphins, and he’ll be a high-upside gamble FLEX option in a potential shootout against New England in Week 7.

Kyle Rudolph scores in Vikings’ win.

The Vikings tight end caught six of a team-high nine targets for 45 yards and a touchdown against the Bears. He was mostly used as an underneath target in a quick-passing attack, but the touchdown was on a throw to the end zone from inside the ten-yard line where Rudolph caught a nicely-placed ball from Case Keenum. Rudolph gets the Packers in Week 6, but it looks like he’ll be without Sam Bradford once again.

Will Fuller scores again in Week 6 win.

Fuller caught two passes for 62 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The speedster now has five touchdowns in just three games, as he’s shown a good connection with Deshaun Watson since returning from a broken collarbone. Chances are that Fuller’s touchdown streak will end next week in Seattle, but Richard Sherman and company have struggled against faster, smaller receivers in the past. Still, there are probably more reliable fantasy options.

Adam Thielen catches five passes in Week 5.

Thielen caught five of eight targets for 34 yards against the Bears, and he also had an 11-yard carry on a jet sweep. Overall, the Vikings couldn’t get anything going down the field against the pass rush of the Bears, which led to subpar production from the receivers. Thielen should have a bigger game next Sunday against Green Bay, though it looks like he could be without top quarterback Sam Bradford again. He had 12 receptions for 202 yards and two touchdowns in their second game versus the Packers last season.
