Defense: Minnesota Vikings $4,100

This one may be a tough sell after last week’s thrashing at the hands of Rodgers, but Rivers is no Rodgers. The Minnesota Vikings defense won’t have to face Adams this week. Instead, they will have to face a team that was prone to the turnover.

The Minnesota Vikings have some playmakers on defense that just didn’t show up last week. This week, head coach Mike Zimmer will address the defense. He will spend all week making sure another embarrassment like last week never happens again. That starts this week against the Colts, which again is a must-win for both of these teams.

Yannick Ngakoue was the new addition to the Vikings defense, but he was mostly silent in his first game in a new uniform. He should get better as the weeks go by. Harrison Smith sounded off on how the defense needs to play better. It’s likely last week’s dud won’t happen again.

dark. Next. Smart Week 1 Observations

The real reason to pick the Vikings is Rivers himself. He’s just not the same quarterback he once was, but he still takes the same chances despite diminished skill. This will lead to turnovers and possibly defensive touchdowns.
