Gambling911.com has your Vikings-Lions Daily Fantasy NFL picks for Week 7. Salaries can be found at Star Fantasy Leagues, the leader in Daily Fantasy Sports white label software.
The Vikings are a -2.5 road favorite coming into this game. The total is 44.5. Action is pretty balanced on both sides.
What to Consider With Vikings – Minnesota is tough on opposing QBs but we would not touch Matthew Stafford under the current circumstances anyway. The Vikings do rank in the bottom half of the league against opposing running backs.
What to Consider with Lions – Detroit allows plenty of points to opposing quarterbacks and running backs but they are especially vulnerable when it comes to tight ends. The Lions had allowed four touchdowns to tight ends so far this year coming into Week 6.
Who to Play:
Adrian Peterson ($7.6K) – Detroit ranks poorly against opposing running backs and Peterson is among the best out there. Despite an injury suffered Sunday, Peterson will play in Week 7 against the Lions.
Adrian Peterson rushed 26 times for 60 yards in Minnesota's Week 6 win over the Chiefs. He wasn’t impressive against the Chiefs but KC also doesn’t allow many fantasy points against opposing running backs.
Peterson has been red hot this season, on pace for 1,488 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns through the first four games while taking a step back in the last two. He gets back on track this week against Detroit.
Teddy Bridgewater ($5.1K) – At this price, Bridgewater has some solid value against a Lions team that allows opposing quarterbacks to score with ease. Bridgewater has already scored over 20 fantasy points against this Lions squad.
Kyle Rudolph ($3.1K) – He caught 2-of-5 targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Chiefs. Rudolph did score on a third-and-goal play early on but pretty much disappeared for the remainder of the game. He’s very touchdown dependent and has disappointed so far this season. Expect Rudolph to make value against these Lions, who are especially weak versus tight ends. He is not a first option Sunday.
