Minnesota Vikings

Adrian Peterson (Running Back): The Raiders are a solid matchup for Peterson as they have given up the 15th most fantasy points to running backs in 2015. Peterson may have the skills but owners beware this Raiders defense only allows 96.9 rushing yards this season. Peterson should see some production but a stingy Raiders defense may keep him out of the end zone.

Stefon Diggs (Wide Receiver): The Raiders give up the 3rd most fantasy points to quarterbacks making this an extremely favorable matchup the only question is who will be quarterback. Even if Bridgewater is healthy I do not assume that he will be asked to throw the ball a lot in this game after his injury. This game should also stay relatively close as the Raiders struggle to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks and the Vikings have just enough pressure to slow Carr somewhat. Diggs is a solid flex play.

Oakland Raiders

Amari Cooper/Michael Crabtree (Wide Receivers):  If Xavier Rhodes is out this could be a prime matchup for both wide receivers. Cooper will likely see 9 plus targets so he should have a ton of chances to have some excellent production even though they have given up the 7th fewest points to wide receivers. Crabtree has had 2 straight 100 yard games and can be considered a strong WR2 in this matchup. Crabtree should get some easy looks as he faces off against the Vikings third or fourth cornerback.

Latavius Murray (Running Back): Murray is still recovering from a concussion so his return date is unknown however he will likely play this week. Even with Minnesota giving up the 7th fewest points to running backs all season long they allow 4.4 yards per carry in the league making them a prime target for Murray's ability to break tackles.
