In his last two games, Bradford has thrown three touchdowns, just one interception, is averaging 290 passing yards, and has completed 77.5 percent of his passes. The Vikings are hoping that his top play will continue this Sunday as the team tries to avoid five straight losses.
Fantasy Impact: This week Bradford has to face the talented defense of the Arizona Cardinals. So far this season the Cardinals’ defense is only allowing 17.8 points and 295.2 total yards per game.
As far as quarterbacks go, Arizona is giving up the fifth fewest points per game to the position in 2016. In their last four games, they have only allowed one passing touchdown.
Yahoo! projects Bradford to finish Sunday with 227 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Any fantasy owners thinking about taking a chance on the Minnesota quarterback this week might want to search for a signal caller with a better matchup instead.
