Week 13 Fantasy Football Wrap: Jaguars @ Vikings
Minnesota Vikings survive Jacksonville Jaguars, 27-24
Kirk Cousins shook off an ugly pick-six (all these defensive touchdowns by Minnesota’s opponents lately have been ideal for Cousins’ fantasy value) to finish with three TD strikes in his third straight game, and he’s up to 20 touchdown tosses over seven home games this season … Mike Glennon has been competent enough (and benefitted from some luck during his TD connection to Laviska Shenault) to keep James Robinson’s value afloat, and it also helps that the back (who remains on pace to record the most rushing yards by an undrafted rookie in NFL history) rarely leaves the field.

Dalvin Cook went from looking like he suffered a serious leg injury last week that required two teammates to help him off the field to a season-high in carries (32) and receptions (six), thanks in part to Alexander Mattison being inactive … It was surprising Kyle Rudolph was so quiet (two catchless targets) with Irv Smith inactive in a game Cousins attempted 43 passes … This overtime thriller featured three missed extra points.
