Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jerome Simpson is officially listed as probable on the team's injury report for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions.
Jerome Simpson injury update: Fantasy value low despite probable status
Jerome Simpson is probable for this week’s game, but he’s still a risky fantasy option.
Adam Bettcher
Simpson has a calf injury but practiced in full all week long. He is a solid bet to suit up and play on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Despite his talent, Jerome Simpson hasn’t been much of a fantasy factor this season. He was suspended earlier in the season and has been beat up all year long.
The Vikings' passing attack hasn't been able to sustain production from two wide receivers this season. Christian Ponder has been up and down, so it's tough to trust Simpson. If you're in a very deep league, Simpson is worth a flier because of his matchup.
