Jordan Addison delivered the game-winner, catching a 12-yard TD from Carson Wentz with 25 seconds left to lift Minnesota over Cleveland 21-17 in London, keeping the Vikings undefeated in the capital.

Wentz shrugged off a shoulder scare to execute two second-half drives, while Justin Jefferson piled up 123 yards. Cleveland rookie Dillon Gabriel threw two TDs but fell short; Quinshon Judkins added 110 rushing yards as Cam Akers sparked Minnesota with a 32-yard trick-play TD to Josh Oliver.

David Njoku answered with a nine-yard TD after a hurdling grab, and Will Reichard’s 51-yard miss late sealed the result for the Browns after a fumble by Mason earlier set up Cleveland’s chances.

Minnesota’s London test left the Vikings with a clear backfield question after Jordan Mason left the field with a leg issue late in the third quarter, moments after scoring. Zavier Scott stepped in during Mason’s absence, while Cam Akers supplied punch with a Wildcat TD pass to Josh Oliver and CJ Ham filled multiple roles on third downs. Cleveland used Njoku’s third‑quarter TD to grab the lead, but Minnesota’s depth could shape the next few games as Mason’s status remains uncertain.

Fantasy managers should track Mason’s health and Scott’s workload, while Akers’ versatility keeps his fantasy ceiling high if Mason misses more time. Ham’s dependable pass‑blocking and third‑down usage add a floor, and Njoku remains a reliable target for Cleveland as the offense schemes around its trusted playmakers.

Overall, London exposed Minnesota’s depth but also highlighted upside for multiple players if Mason sits, with Akers and Scott serving as plausible Week 6 keepers or DFS plays depending on Mason’s status.

M Vikings Week 3 injury report vs Cincinnati shows J.J. McCarthy ruled out with an ankle ailment, Ryan Kelly out (concussion) and Justin Skule out (concussion). Christian Darrisaw is listed as questionable with a knee issue, while Andrew Van Ginkel, Austin Keys and Harrison Smith sit as questionable (illness or injury). Jonathan Greenard, Donovan Jackson, Theo Jackson, Jeff Okudah and Josh Oliver have been removed from the injury report, signaling they’re likely to play. This mix of absences and returns could shift offensive and defensive balance in a pivotal Week 3 matchup.

Fantasy managers should watch late-week updates closely as depth pieces fill in, with potential implications for protection, run efficiency, and secondary coverage. The Bengals game could expose interior line and boundary depth if key Vikings players are limited, making late-week decisions and potential streaming choices more critical than usual.

Caleb Williams caps Chicago's opener with a 9-yard TD, going 9-for-9 on the opening drive as the Bears lean into Williams’ off-script mobility and space-opening concepts. Rome Odunze adds a highlight grab, while Minnesota’s defense clings to a mid‑quarter stand and the Vikings nearly burst with run-game pressure that never fully materializes. With Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon out and Darrisaw sidelined, pass defense tilts toward Chicago’s advantage and Minnesota must chase balance to stay in it.

Three tight ends stand out as the prime candidates to dethrone Brock Bowers in 2025 dynasty leagues: Trey McBride, Tyler Warren, and Sam LaPorta. McBride surged late in his Arizona stint, posting elite yardage and targets while showing a growing red-zone presence; a modest TD bump could push him into the top tier if Bowers falters. Warren brings a versatile, fantasy-friendly profile after a first-round pick and a high-volume receiving college background, with a Colts offense that could unlock year‑one potential. LaPorta rode a historic rookie TD haul to fantasy prominence and enters a Detroit offense with playmakers around him, where incremental target growth could anchor a top‑3 ceiling. Kyler Murray’s presence in Arizona, Amon‑Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in Detroit, and Jahmyr Gibbs as a dual-threat threat heighten the dynasty intrigue around all three, while TD regression and red-zone opportunities will decide who lands at TE1 in 2025. The piece also flags other potential tethers like AJ Barner, Nick Vannett, Josh Oliver, and Nate Adkins as late-season sneaks to monitor, alongside the Lions’ potent surrounding weapons, all shaping a dynamic TE landscape for rosters chasing long-term upside.
