The Minnesota Vikings are 8-2 and have a defense that is championship-ready. As fantasy owners and analysts found out in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, they have an offense that can hold its own, too.
Quarterback Case Keenum and Adam Thielen exploded, lifting the Vikes to a major victory, while running backs Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon controlled the pace of the game, chewing the clock and gaining big chunks of yardage to ice the game.
Minnesota has impressed this season, giving fantasy owners something to be thankful for. Are the Vikings skill players a wise start this Thanksgiving, though, against a Detroit Lions team with a solid defense and a desire to get back into NFC North contention?
