Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford scorched the New Orleans Saints for 346 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1. It makes him an intriguing option in Week 2 as the Vikings travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. The big question is his knee, which has him listed as questionable for the game.

Bradford will surely be counting on his top two targets, Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, as he looks to build on a massive opening game. Tight end Kyle Rudolph also figures to get in on the action.
Fantasy impact: Bradford is in a contract year. There’s plenty of reason for him to play well in 2017. He’s got a great team around him too, on both sides of the ball, as well as a solid defense, young receivers he can count on, and a new look in the backfield not named Adrian Peterson.
Bradford is likely not on too many fantasy rosters, even in deep formats. That said, he might be a week from now should he impress in Pittsburgh. The big concern is his knee, because even if he plays, he could end up knocked out of the game. At the moment, it’s still safe to leave him on the sideline. If he makes it through the entire game and builds on Week 1, don’t be surprised if he’s a hot waiver wire addition heading into Week 3.
Recommendation: Sit
