Will Dalvin Cook be a Viking? | Minnesota Vikings Team Preview

The Fantasy Life Podcast is back with Ian Hartits & Dwain McFarland.

Join us as we break down the key questions surrounding the team and provide insights into the fantasy football aspirations of each player. From Kirk Cousins' potential to boom under Kevin O'Connell to the rankings of Alexander Mattison without Dalvin Cook, and the debate on whether Justin Jefferson deserves to be the fantasy 1.01 pick, we cover it all.

In this video, we analyze the notable offseason moves made by the Vikings and examine the impact of changes in the front office, coaching staff, and roster. We explore the offensive strategies implemented by Kevin O'Connell and Wes Phillips, which have set Kirk Cousins up for success, including a pass-happy offense that utilizes play-action effectively. We also discuss the additions and departures of key players such as Adam Thielen and Irv Smith, shedding light on the new faces in the Vikings' QB, RB, WR, and TE positions.

Join us as we evaluate Kirk Cousins' fantasy potential, taking into account his historical performance and the factors that may hinder him from reaching top-five heights. We discuss the uncertain future of Dalvin Cook and how it impacts his fantasy ranking, along with Alexander Mattison's potential to step up in the absence of Cook. Our analysis delves into Mattison's previous spot-start performances and his ability to handle a featured workload.

Justin Jefferson's dominance in the NFL thus far cannot be overlooked, as we examine his impressive stats and make a case for him being the overall fantasy WR1. We also shine a spotlight on Jordan Addison, the Vikings' rookie wide receiver, and discuss his fantasy-friendly upside and potential impact on the offense. Additionally, we cover other wide receivers like K.J. Osborn and Jalen Reagor, providing insights into their roles within the team.

T.J. Hockenson takes the spotlight in the tight end department, as we analyze his performance and rank him as TE4 in fantasy. We discuss Hockenson's role in the offense and his potential to put up significant numbers. Lastly, we touch on the Vikings' win total for the 2023 season and offer our thoughts on whether they will exceed or fall short of expectations.
