Latest news

WR K.J. Osborn continues to excel in Vikings' slot role

Jon Krawczynksi via The Athletic

Sep 26, 2022 · 12:01 PM EDT

K.J. Osborn racked up 56 of his 73 receiving yards in the Vikings' game-winning drive, taking advantage of the Lions' consistent double-teaming of Justin Jefferson.

Related Players: Irv Smith Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

Osborn more than doubled his season total of receiving yards on the last drive, but as the article mentions, this was not a fluke. Kirk Cousins was quoted after the game, “In the two-minute (drill), you sort of have guys in their spots. And you don’t really move people around. It ends up being a more organic way of getting people the football. It just kind of happens. Whoever’s open. And that’s what happened last year with K.J. a lot in two-minute. He was now in primary spots, where during the normal game he was in secondary and tertiary spots, if you will.”

It's not often Jefferson will be held to a 3-14-0 stat line, but Osborn is emerging as the team's third receiving option, and if Cousins continues to attempt 40+ passes, there is fantasy value in that.

MIN WR K.J. Osborn - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Green Bay Packers
K.J. Osborn crashed back to Earth after his 16-target outlier performance in Week 15 with only three catches and 17 scoreless yards last week against the Giants. Osborn is seeing a healthy amount of playing time as the Vikings' third wide receiver, but it's difficult to consistently earn a prominent target share working behind All-World target hog Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and even tight end T.J. Hockenson. Osborn is good for an occasional blow-up performance when the Vikings see a negative game script, but he typically hovers around 3-5 targets per game. That is not something you want to bank on as a starting option during fantasy championship week.
