Cameron Dantzler Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings placed cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after he tested positive for the virus. Dantzler will need to return two negative tests this week to have a chance at playing in a Week 5 game against the division-rival Detroit Lions at home. So there's a decent chance the Vikings won't have him this weekend. The 23-year-old third-round pick in 2020 played 92 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 4 loss to the Cleveland Browns, and he's recorded six tackles (four solo) and two passes defensed in three games so far in 2021. Dantzler impressed last year with 46 tackles and two interceptions and started 10 of his 11 games.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cam Dantzler was carted off the field on Sunday against the Packers. The team says Dantzler has a neck injury and is being evaluated for a concussion. It was a scary hit and a scary moment for Dantzler, whose long term health should be the main concern right now.

The Minnesota Vikings placed rookie cornerback Cameron Dantzler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The Vikings have not disclosed whether Dantzler tested positive himself or has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person(s). Dantzler is probably a long shot to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Packers, and the rookie's absence would make it even tougher for Minnesota to slow down Aaron Rodgers and company in the passing game. Regardless of whether Dantzler is cleared this weekend, fantasy managers should be looking to avoid the Vikings Defense at all costs.
