**Falcons at Vikings** (-5.5, 46) 1:00 (3 Viewers)

This is one of those weeks where the Falcons change peoples perception that Penix would run this offense better, somehow they squeak out a win
On the other hand, Cousins looked terrible last time out and they are riding a 3 game losing streak, Vikings continue to win close football games
 
This feels like the trappiest of trap games. Vikings have been squeaking out a lot of games they were outplayed in, and people are ready to write off the Falcons after Cousins egg last week.

I think Darnold is a solid play this week given the amount of starters on bye, but maybe not a great one. The Falcons are good about limiting big plays. I'm not saying I'd sit any of the usual Vikings starters, but I'm not expecting any big weeks, unless maybe they make a point of feeding Jefferson, which they haven't been doing lately.

My bold call, I think Kirk Cousins has a bounce back game this week. Against the Vikings, the game plan should involve a lot of throwing to the RB and TE, as those will be the guys with space. Pitts has been extremely quiet of late, and I think that's been a significant part of the passing games problem. This also feels like a big Bijan week, particularly in the passing game, as RBs facing the Vikings often get matched up with veteran S Harrison Smith, who simply doesn't have the quicks to keep up with Bijan at this stage. Could also see the Falcons picking on Fabian Moreau, who is starting in place of Stephon Gilmore.

Upset special to save the season, and because blowing a game like this would be a very Vikings thing to do:
Falcons-28
Vikings-14

Cousins - throws like it's the end of his world..and it just might be.
Vikings - grab at least one and win the game.
Darnold- hangs on and somehow appears better than Cap'n Kirk.
 
Kirk Cousins Revenge Game
What kind of reception will he get from the fans?
What kind of reception will he get from The Vikings defense?
I'm torn on this game
I could see Kirk having his best game of the season and pulling the upset
And I can see him sh!!ing the bed and being benched next week
I honestly don't know
So I'll split the difference
He has one nearly perfect half
And one "Somebody Please Get This Guy Out of There" half
And The Vikings,in the toughest division in The NFL,sneak out another win...

Minny- 29
Hotlanta- 23

I think he’ll get a welcome reception from fans.

Minnesota Nice + leaving on good graces + Kirk is just a nice guy = welcome reception.

Not that anyone won’t cheer if he throws a pick or two.
 
Are they triple teaming JJ? All 4 targets have gone to Addison. Asking for a friend that needs JJ to score points today.
 
These announcers studied football strategy at their sons' fifth grade practice and are bringing their findings to the booth. Lucky us.
 
Correct me if I am wrong but the Vikings didn't attempt one run on the last TD drive.

edited to add: 1 run for -2
 
Fantasy Pros 32 out of 32 expects recommend Conner over Addison..........this is why you don't use rankings I don't care how much money you pay to get them they all do nothing more than what you can do except if you don't use them maybe you get it right if you do use them your 80% to get it wrong they are always wrong it is brutal
