Dalvin Cook had a hot start to his rookie season but should fantasy football GMs look to add the Minnesota Vikings running back to their 2018 roster? One of the most important parts of doing a fantasy football draft is making sure you choose the right players at the top of the draft. Getting elite […] 2018 fantasy football forecast: Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook - The Viking Age - The Viking Age - A Minnesota Vikings Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.
There is a lot to like about the Vikings heading into 2018. There’s also cause for concern.
When the Minnesota Vikings convene in Eagan (it’s going to be weird to not say ‘Mankato’ when talking about the Vikings training camp for a few years) it will begin a season of high expectations. They are considered by most experts to be on a very short list of legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and for good reason. They went to the NFC Championship last year, everyone of significance is...
Apparently it was something that he considered
A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Minnesota Vikings star cornerback Xavier Rhodes was part of a group of cornerbacks that were working out together on the West Coast. One of his workout partners was former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. Sherman was released by the Seahawks back in March, and soon after signed with the San Francisco 49ers.
While the Vikings weren’t reported to have shown any interest in Sherman when he was...
Unlike Rice, the former Minnesota Vikings receiver did not have the luxury of playing with Hall of Fame quarterbacks for the majority of his NFL career. Last week, former NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice acknowledged himself as the greatest player in the history of the league. It’s an understandable argument, as statistically speaking Rice owns […] Randy Moss was a better NFL receiver than Jerry Rice - The Viking Age - The Viking Age - A Minnesota Vikings Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and...
The Minnesota Vikings linebacker has taken a different approach to getting a new contract from the team than those in the past. The Minnesota Vikings are a team that has a blue collar reputation. For a team filled with undrafted players (Adam Thielen, Andrew Sendejo) and late-round draft picks that have become stars (Stefon Diggs, […] Barr taking a different approach in negotiating his contract with the Vikings - The Viking Age - The Viking Age - A Minnesota Vikings Fan Site - News, Blogs,...
We are almost to training camp, and to the kickoff of a new NFL football season. For Vikings fans, it’s a season to be excited about.
Merry Monday, everyone!
Hey, training camp is almost here. Anyone have plans to make it this year? If so, and if you’re interested in meeting up with other members, say something in the comments. I’m guessing we’ll have quite a few members who will be training camp attendees, especially now that camp is a stone’s throw from Minneapolis (a pretty long...
As training camp creeps closer to beginning, who are four remaining free-agents that the Minnesota Vikings might consider signing? In less than two weeks, the Minnesota Vikings will be kicking off their 2018 training camp. The Vikings’ roster is already at the 90-man limit, but it’s possible that the team may want to add someone […] 4 free-agents the Vikings could sign before training camp - The Viking Age - The Viking Age - A Minnesota Vikings Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.
Dalvin Cook made a big impression as a rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings but ESPN believes the running back is a rising star for the 2018 season. When the Minnesota Vikings used a second-round draft pick on Dalvin Cook during the 2017 NFL Draft, the team knew they were getting a dynamic running back […] Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook named NFC North rising star by ESPN - The Viking Age - The Viking Age - A Minnesota Vikings Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.
He’s gotten in better shape after wearing down late last year
While the Minnesota Vikings spent their second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft on Pitt offensive tackle Brian O’Neill, nobody is sure whether or not he’s going to be the answer at right tackle this season or not. If he’s not, the man that could very easily start there this season could be the one that finished there last season.
According to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Rashod Hill has dropped 12 pounds...
They talked to him about a number of different topics
When it comes to the Minnesota Vikings, safety Anthony Harris is a player that has flown under the radar for most of his first three seasons. Though he’s performed capably when called upon (such as creating one of the Vikings’ biggest plays of last season with his strip of Cooper Kupp in the team’s win over the Los Angeles Rams), he’s been primarily a special teams player to this point.
Earlier on Sunday, the third-year safety had...
Another of our social media questions makes its way onto the site
Since the last post that we originally put on social media and brought over here seems to be pretty popular, let’s take another one and transfer it over, shall we?
The other day, we posed this question to Minnesota Vikings fans on Facebook and Twitter:
If you were the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, what’s the first thing that you would buy?
Now, I should have put a caveat on that, because as Eric pointed out on Twitter....
He’s good, everybody
Given the fact that Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end Everson Griffen wasn’t a full-time starter for the first few seasons of his career (thanks to the sizeable shadow of Jared Allen at the right defensive end spot), there’s a very good chance that Griffen is just getting started in his career as one of the NFL’s premiere pass rushers. But, what makes him so good?
Well, one enterprising YouTube creator took a closer look at Everson Griffen’s game with some...
Talent upon talent upon talent.
Nobody is going to deny that the Minnesota Vikings’ defense is talented. Given that they were the #1 defense in the National Football League last season in terms of both yardage and points allowed, such an argument would be relatively useless for whoever was making it. However, the Vikings are getting to the point where it isn’t just the starters that are ridiculously talented.
Chris Wesseling of NFL.com has put together a list of the seven deepest...
The Knoxville native will be inducted on 7 August
Since being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft, safety Harrison Smith has been one of the cornerstones of the Vikings’ defense. . .the cornerstone, in my opinion. . .and has developed into the best safeties in the National Football League. Recently, we found out that the city where it all started for Smith will be honoring him early next month.
In this article from the Knoxville News, we learn that...
Every touchdown from the 2017-18 season for the purple
With the start of the 2018 season rapidly approaching, the appropriate time for us to look back at the 2017 season is growing shorter. But, since we still have some time to kill and the 2017 season, all things considered, was pretty awesome, looking back is exactly what we will do here.
YouTube user “cSc Honesty” put this video together back in January, and it shows every touchdown that the Minnesota Vikings scored during the 2017...
We’ve got questions, and we hope you’ve got answers
If you follow us on the FaceBooks or on the Twitters, you know that recently we’ve started asking a “Social Media Question of the Day.” Since we don’t want to leave any of our fellow Minnesota Vikings fans out of the fun, we’ll start moving some of them over here as well. After all, we’re almost to the start of camp, and if it kills us we will drag ourselves across the finish line.
So, here’s one of the questions we...
They’ll all likely sign before camp, though
Rookies for the Minnesota Vikings will be making their way to Eagan in about a week and a half. While most of the team’s 2018 draft class was signed not long after they were drafted, the crown jewel of the group is one of numerous first-round picks that still has not put pen to paper.
Mike Hughes, the cornerback that the Vikings selected with the 30th overall pick this past April, is one of thirteen first-round picks that, as of today, are...
Some members of the Minnesota Vikings traveled north of the border to encourage kids to be more active at a Play60 event in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Minnesota Vikings are known for giving back to the community. Their charitable efforts around the state involving children, hungry families, promoting well-being, and much more have had a […] Minnesota Vikings represent in Winnipeg at Play60 Canada - The Viking Age - The Viking Age - A Minnesota Vikings Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion...
Tashawn Bower and C.J. Ham joined a Vikings great at the event With the date for reporting to Training Camp getting closer, members of the Minnesota Vikings are getting in some last minute travel. A couple of the members of the team headed north of the border in support of an NFL Play 60 event, encouraging young people to get out and get active. Defensive end Tashawn Bower and running back C.J. Ham. . .or, as he’s known in Canada, C.J. Bacon. . .joined former cornerback Carl Lee to bring...
There’s a lot of talent to be had in Minnesota
When most people talk about how talented the Minnesota Vikings are, the focus generally moves to what the team has on the defensive side of the football. After all, there are All-Pro caliber players on every level of Minnesota’s defense, so it’s easy to look in that direction.
However, the offensive side of the ball shouldn’t be overlooked, specifically what the Vikings have done at the skill positions. Bill Barnwell of ESPN has rated...
