2012 Outlook: Quality Backup

Last updated on Jul-16-2012 by Rob Warner

Despite totaling an NFL-best 50 sacks in 2011 (led by DE Jared Allen's 22 sacks), the Vikings Defense ranked among the bottom in fantasy production. The pass defense ranked 26th (251 YPG) and totaled just eight interceptions. CBs Antoine Winfield and Chris Cook missed most of last season, but both are expected to get the start when the 2012 season begins. Minnesota also bolstered their secondary with the addition of Notre Dame safety Harrison Smith at the end of round 1. Percy Harvin also remains an elite kick returning option. The Vikings Defense/Special Teams are unlikely to finish as a top 10 fantasy unit but can be useful as a matchup play.
