The Minnesota Vikings are 9-2 partially thanks to surprisingly strong performances from Case Keenum, who’s proven to be a good fit in Pat Shurmur’s offense. Far from being a dink-and-dunk checkdown artist, Keenum is averaging 7.5 yards per attempt this season, throwing 14 touchdowns to just five interceptions.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 13: What to do with Case Keenum
Keenum’s starting job is still not secure from week to week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Keenum played well once again on Thanksgiving, throwing for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions on 21-of-30 passing in a win over the Detroit Lions. However, head coach Mike Zimmer has Teddy Bridgewater waiting in the wings, and he’s not really committing to Keenum as a starter right now.
Fantasy impact: Keenum will stay under center when the Vikings face the Atlanta Falcons this week, and as long as he’s the starter he’s a borderline QB1 in most fantasy formats. That said, owners should be ready for Bridgewater to come in anytime soon, especially if Keenum hits a slump. The situation is probably too volatile to trust him in the fantasy playoffs, but you can use him for at least one more week.
Recommendation: Start
