Eric Kendricks Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) is active for the Week 2 game against the Arizona Cardinals after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. The Vikings need all the help they can get on defense with linebacker Anthony Barr (knee), cornerback Harrison Hand (hamstring) and defensive end Everson Griffen (concussion) out against the high-octane offense of the Cardinals. Kendricks led the league with 15 tackles in the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and he's a strong starting option at the linebacker position in IDP leagues now that we know he will play on Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals after being added to the injury report on Thursday. Kendricks was limited on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so he should be good to go for this Sunday. "He's good. He's all right. We're just being cautious," head coach Mike Zimmer said. Kendricks led the NFL with 15 tackles in the Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and is in play as a starting linebacker in IDP leagues in Week 2. The Vikings defense/special teams, on the other hand, should not be started in fantasy. They will be without linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) for the second straight game, cornerback Harrison Hand (hamstring) and veteran defensive end Everson Griffen (concussion).

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that he's not sure if linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) will play in Week 16 against the Saints on Christmas Day on Friday or for the rest of the regular season. Kendricks has missed the last three games and doesn't appear close to a return for the Vikings Defense. His absence in the middle of the field has left a huge void, making the Vikings defense one to ignore yet again against a strong New Orleans offense this week. Kendricks has been a must-start IDP linebacker when healthy this season, racking up 69 total tackles, six passes defensed and three interceptions in 11 games. Despite missing the last three contests, the 28-year-old ranks 18th in the league at his position in overall fantasy points.
