The Vikings have to do something. The post Vikings Receive Strong QB Directive With Trade Deadline Approaching appeared first on Heavy Sports.

ESPN's Seth Walder discussed players each team could target ahead of next week's trade deadline. For the Vikings, it was a name that refuses to leave the tongues of analysts and fans alike: Kirk Cousins. He mentions Cousins as someone who just makes too much sense to ignore his potential return to Minnesota as the deadline looms.

"It's too obvious to ignore," Walder began. "The Vikings are expected to get McCarthy back this week, but he struggled when he played this season (23.2 QBR), the Carson Wentz backup experiment was largely a failure, and this team has too much potential to waste this season."

Vikings star receiver Jordan Addison is considered a potential fit for the Patriots' needs at wide receiver ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is a logical trade candidate. The 14-year NFL veteran lost his job to Michael Penix Jr. late in the 2024 season, and despite returning for a spot start in Week 8, Cousins remains No. 2 on the team's depth chart.

Jordan Addison’s fantasy stock is peaking after a hot stretch, but with J.J. McCarthy returning and Carson Wentz out, managers should sell high.

As we head into Week 9 of the fantasy football season, it's time to firm up rosters and prepare for the stretch run to make that push to reach the playoffs. Let's go around the league and hit on some recent observations I have after going through the game tape.

The Minnesota Vikings suffered their worst loss of the season last Thursday night. They fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 37-10, dropping them to 3-4 on the season. Every phase of the team failed, but perhaps no one performed as miserably as the Vikings' offensive line.
