Christian Darrisaw Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Darrisaw was injured in the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and will have to sit out this weekend. It might not matter much against a winless Lions team that has the second-fewest sacks (16) in the NFL entering Week 13 action this weekend. Still, it's something to watch in terms of quarterback Kirk Cousins' protection. Rashod Hill took over for Darrisaw when he was injured last Sunday and will likely start on Cousins' blind side against Detroit.
