Fantasy Football Rankings 2018: Vikings’ most tantalizing draft targets

Your 2018 fantasy football rankings wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of these Minnesota Vikings players, who figure to be fantasy stars this season.

After coming up one game short of the Super Bowl a season ago, the Minnesota Vikings are still a team worth taking seriously. In fact, they’ve got some legitimate superstars on the offensive side of the ball who could play a big part in the 2018 fantasy football landscape.

Today, though, I want to rank a few of the Vikings’ more intriguing fantasy options. While there are many worth considering when you sit down to complete your draft, it’ll help to have a more refined idea of what to expect from each of their big names. As it so happens, that’s what I’m here to provide today.

Now keep in mind that fantasy football is fickle. Unexpected stars emerge every week, and established stars often fail to live up to expectations. That’s part of what makes the game so exciting and infuriating at the same time. If it were so easy to determine who would light it up every year, though, why would we even play fantasy football?

Enough idle banter, though. Let’s get to the reason why we’re all here. And that is to figure out which Vikings you should have your eye on when the drafting begins.

So here they are — the Vikings’ fantasy football players I believe offer the most upside in 2018. Anything can happen in the coming months, but it’s my belief that these rankings accurately order Minnesota’s offensive forces by their eventual point output relative to their position.
