Vikings Defense Unimpressive During Week 1 Defeat

Vikings Defense Unimpressive During Week 1 Defeat

one year ago

The Minnesota Vikings defense posted one sack and allowed 20 points in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Danielle Hunter closed in on Baker Mayfield for a first-quarter sack, but there wasn't much doing defensively fantasy-wise for the Vikings otherwise. Minnesota's D is likely to struggle all year after discouragingly ranking 30th in points allowed and 31st in yards per game in 2022. They should rarely be play in as a streaming option outside of the most advantageous matchups, and their unit is waiver wire fodder for a nightmarish draw against the high-flying Philadelphia Eagles offense on the road for Week 2 this Thursday.
