The Minnesota Vikings hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday to kick off Week 14 of the NFL season. The game had a slow start but finished with fireworks. We ended up with 64 total points as the Vikings won 36-28, holding off a furious Steelers comeback.
Let’s recap our top plays in DFS and see how they performed on the SuperDraft showdown slate.
The Review
Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings (Champion: 2.05x score multiplier | Superflex: 1.35x)
Dalvin Cook was announced officially active right before the game started. With the announcement, it did drop the roster percentage for Alexander Mattison, and it was the Cook show all night. Mattison had just six carries for 27 yards, while Cook had 27 for 205. Mattison was put to the back burner in a gamescript that benefited Cook much more.
Chase Claypool, Pittsburgh Steelers (Champion: 2.45x | Superflex: 1.65x)
After a slow first half, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a huge comeback in the second half. Claypool led the receiving core, finishing the game with eight receptions for 93 yards. He averaged 11.6 per catch but was not able to break the hundred-yard bonus or secure a touchdown. Ben Roethlisberger had three touchdowns, but James Washington was the only wide receiver with one of them.
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings (Champion: 1.75x| Superflex: 1.15x)
Jefferson really never stops. He recorded seven receptions for 79 receiving yards and a touchdown. On the Vikings, only K.J. Osborn had more receiving yards than him thanks to a big 62-yard play. Jefferson led the receivers in targets with 15 on the night but also in receptions. The young receiver is turning into one of the most dominant weapons in the league.
