Vikings QB Christian Ponder (knee) was a full participant in practice for the entire week and he is listed as questionable to face the Seahawks on Sunday. He will play in the late-afternoon game.
Christian Ponder Injury Update: Ready to go; could fantasy value rebound?
Christian Ponder is expected to play against the Seahawks. Even though he’s cooled off, should you consider starting the Vikings QB in a bye-week jam?
Bruce Kluckhohn-US PRESSWIRE
Ponder was leading the league in completion percentage for a while, but cooled off in his last couple of contests. He now has 10 TDs and seven picks on his 1,743 passing yards while his completion percentage dropped to 65.3 percent.
Fantasy Impact: Ponder doesn't exactly get a friendly matchup. While everyone knows about Richard "Optimus Prime" Sherman, the Seahawks are stacked at their other three secondary positions. Kam Chancellor at strong safety, Earl Thomas at free safety and Brandon Browner are all elite and make Ponder almost impossible to play in 12-team leagues.
His schedule gets better, so he’s a decent guy worth owning in most leagues.
