Sam Darnold Returns From Injury, Leads Vikes To OT Win

Sunday, November 24, 4:57 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 22-of-34 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Chicago Bears. Minnesota was up 24-10 at the end of the third quarter before Chicago came storming back to score 17 fourth-quarter points and tie the game at 27 a piece, sending it to OT. The Bears would get the first possession in the extra quarter but ultimately punt it away, setting up the 27-year-old to orchestrate a 12-play, 83-yard, game-winning drive. Darnold's passing yardage total was a new season-high, and it was the third time this season he'd finish an outing with no turnovers. After a few down weeks, the USC product has turned it around, tossing for 576 yards and four touchdowns over his last two contests. He and the Vikes will get a softer matchup in Week 13 when they host the visiting Arizona Cardinals.

Trey McBride Delivers Standout Performance In The Week 12 Loss

Monday, November 25, 10:22 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had a monster day in the 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. McBride caught 12 passes for 133 yards and was perhaps the Cardinals' only bright spot on offense. He received a team-leading 15 targets, and the team's point of emphasis was to get him the ball as all other aspects of the game fell apart. McBride has been one of the most consistent performers in fantasy football this season, and with that target share, he will likely continue to put up huge numbers. McBride will remain in starting lineups heading into the Cardinals' Week 13 road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
