K.J. Osborn News
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught two of his three targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the 31-24 Wild Card loss to the New York Giants. Osborn was one of the best No. 3 receivers this season, totaling 60 catches for 650 yards and five touchdowns during the regular season. Minnesota has an out on Adam Thielen's contract, so there's a chance they do not bring him back. However, the team could opt to bring in a younger free agent or select another wide receiver in the 2023 NFL Draft, so it'll be interesting to see what Osborn's outlook is when the 2023 fantasy draft season rolls around.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught 60 passes for 650 yards and five touchdowns during the 2022 regular season as one of the best No. 3 wide receivers in the NFL. He has saved his best performances for late in the season, posting at least 14.8 DraftKings points in four of his last five contests. His best performance came in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts, securing 10 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown. All that said, he is the perfect bargain-bin option for the matchup against the New York Giants in what could be a shootout (48.0 projected point total). At just $4,500 on DraftKings, he's the 19th-most-expensive wide receiver on a six-game slate, so he's a perfect addition to a Kirk Cousins-Justin Jefferson stack.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught five of his six targets for 117 receiving yards in the 29-13 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 18. Minnesota pulled many of their starters early, but Osborn ultimately delivered for DFS purposes, minus scoring a touchdown. Osborn finishes his third NFL regular season with 60 catches for 650 yards and five touchdowns for Minnesota. He'll continue to be a solid DFS dart throw in the NFL playoffs as he has real upside next to Justin Jefferson. He has one more year on his rookie contract, so he'll remain on the fantasy radar heading into next season.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn joined Percy Harvin, Stefon Diggs, and Justin Jefferson last season in the club of former team's draftees to get 80+ targets and score 9.3+ PPR points per game over their rookie seasons. Not happy enough with that, the 25-year-old finished as a top-40 WR beating Diggs' top-47 rookie season in 2015!) Everything points toward a WR2 baseline for Osborn to build from, and that's nothing to be mad at, considering his youth and lack of experience. While...
