My biggest takeaway from this game is that the Vikings are very much for real, and their defense is arguably the best in the league.

Every player that goes into these columns each week are in my own lineups in one way or another. So now the ‘way off week three” is behind us, it’s on to better things this week. We have a couple nice matchups and injuries to work with this week. Let’s get right into it.
