START ‘EM

3. player. 60. . D/ST. Vikings. Minnesota D/ST

The Vikings defense is easily one of the best in the league. They’re coming off a huge game in which they held the top offensive scoring Rams to just seven points!

This week the Vikings will play in Detroit and that’s a bit more of a challenge, but I like them in this match-up. They forced a fumble last week against LA and should be able to pick off Matthew Stafford once or twice.

We’ve all seen just how far a good defense and decent offense can take you in the NFL these days and the Vikings have that recipe. No one is afraid of Case Keenum, but he’s playing mistake-free football.

That defense is legit and if they can prevent Stafford from having a big game on Thanksgiving, I’ll be ready to go all in on the Minnesota Vikings this year.
