Minnesota Vikings DFS Spin
Kirk Cousins completed 34-of-48 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings’ 27-24, Week 16 win over the Giants. It was another high-volume passing day for Cousins as he keyed in on Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson. The Giants’ front seven provided a challenge, pressuring Cousins all game (sacked four times). Cousins connected with Jefferson on a 17-yard pass to set up the winning field goal. If you’re still alive in your fantasy playoffs, Cousins is a nice option in Week 16 against the Packers.
Green Bay Packers DFS Spin
Aaron Jones (knee/ankle) was removed from the Week 17 injury report and will play against the Vikings. Jones took a backseat to AJ Dillon in Week 16. Dillon out-carried him 11-6, though Jones appeared to be dealing with the knee issue during the game. After being cleared from the injury report, it’s relatively safe to assume the pair of injuries won’t be a factor in Week 17. Jones will rank as a mid-range RB2 for his upcoming matchup with Minnesota.
