Week 2 / Game Review
Vikings prevail 9-3 as defenses dictate the fantasy story
Minnesota rode Aaron Jones and a suffocating defensive effort, while Chicago’s volume never became usable production.

Explore the game data01 / The takeaway
1InterceptionsMinnesota’s defense won the matchup
MIN D/ST supplied the game’s defining fantasy result, repeatedly disrupting Chicago’s quarterbacks and protecting a narrow victory. The Bears reached more yardage but could not convert possessions into points, leaving Minnesota’s defense as the most reliable unit on either roster.
02 / The takeaway
23CarriesAaron Jones was the offensive anchor
Jones supplied the only sustained rushing production, handling a commanding workload and clearing the century mark without needing a touchdown. His limited route participation keeps the receiving ceiling uncertain, but this was an emphatic early-down role.
A defensive game with little quarterback reward
Carson Wentz managed the game rather than driving a passing eruption, completing 11 passes for 143 passing yards without a passing touchdown. He added 3 carries for 6 rushing yards, while taking 3 sacks. Caleb Williams had more movement value, with 5 carries for 42 rushing yards, but his passing line stalled at 15 completions for 138 passing yards, no passing touchdowns and 1 passing interception. Tyson Bagent’s relief work was similarly limited: 5 completions for 54 passing yards across 9 attempts. Neither quarterback room produced a secure fantasy starter from this contest.
