Minnesota Vikings DFS Spin
Kirk Cousins completed 32-of-41 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Vikings’ 29-22, Week 5 win over the Bears. Cousins also scored on a goal-line sneak from the half-yard line. Cousins had a strong day overall, but he had potential for a monster day after completing his first 17 passes of the game, the Vikings record. Cousins was locked in on Justin Jefferson, who had 10 receptions for 138 yards in the first half. However, Cousins cooled off in the second half, to the point that the Vikings had to orchestrate a scoring drive late in the fourth quarter to regain the lead from the Bears. Cousins has some streaming appeal against a weak Dolphins defense in Week 6, particularly if Tua Tagovailoa is back under center for Miami.
Miami Dolphins DFS Spin
Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater has cleared the concussion protocol. Bridgewater will back up rookie Skylar Thompson for Sunday’s game with the Vikings. The Dolphins’ training staff has a checkered history with handling of concussions, but Bridgewater never showed any symptoms and passed every test since he was pulled last week. Having Bridgewater on the sidelines should help Thompson in his first career start.
