Minnesota @ L.A. Rams
Team Totals: Vikings 25, Rams 22.5
I delayed writing up Vikings-Rams due to trade rumors surrounding Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp and the injury statuses of Kupp and T.J. Hockenson. (There is some guesswork here.) … With Hockenson (knee) looking likelier than not to make his season debut, Sam Darnold has a chance to finally play a 2024 game with his full supporting cast. L.A. has yielded the NFL’s sixth-most yards per pass attempt (7.9) and 10th-highest QB rating (95.6) while ranking bottom six in sacks (11). Darnold is a low-end QB1 with mid-range QB1 upside. … Off Week 8’s injury report, Aaron Jones is all systems go after averaging 17.5 touches for 105.5 yards and 0.5 TDs over the Vikings’ initial six games. He warrants RB1 treatment against a Rams defense allowing the NFL’s seventh-most fantasy points to RBs.
