11 HRS AGO - Photo: Houston ChronicleVikings quarterback Case Keenum carved up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense and Stefon Diggs added a pair of touchdown grabs to fuel a 34-17 win. Daniel House shares his initial thoughts from the victory. Updated: September 17, 2017, 4:55 p.m.By: Daniel HouseAll week, everyone panicked after the Vikings struggled on the road against the Steelers. With quarterback Sam Bradford out and an underrated Bucs team coming to town, the experts wondered how the Vikings would stack up. Of course, they executed the unexpected. The Vikings’ offense ripped the Bucs to shreds for 494 total yards and quarterback Case Keenum aired it out for 369 yards. Stefon Diggs added a pair of touchdown grabs and the Vikings rolled past Tampa Bay, 34-17.

Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Jarius Wright's Fantasy Outlook After Week 3

11 HRS AGO - The top receivers for the Minnesota Vikings showed they can have big games regardless of who is under center.
Stefon Diggs was one of the top performers in the league in Week 3 with 173 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the 34-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at U.S. Bank Stadium Sunday. Adam Thielen added five catches for 98 yards, while Jarius Wright had nine yards and a touchdown.
Diggs' 59-yard touchdown was one of the highlights of a huge day:
This was all with Case Keenum making his second straight start at quarterback in place of the injured Sam Bradford.
While the offense is certainly better with Bradford at the helm, the recent win showed the unit can move the football even without him. This is a significant development because it means Diggs and Thielen should be fantasy starters virtually every week.
The duo is coming off a disappointing Week 2, where they combined for just seven catches for 71 yards in a 26-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Considering they came Collapse

Sam Bradford Out for Week 3 vs. Buccaneers with Knee Injury
2 DAYS AGO - After sitting out last week with a knee injury, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford will Expand
2 DAYS AGO - After sitting out last week with a knee injury, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford will not play in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters.
Per ESPN.com's Dan Graziano, Bradford's knee "didn't respond well to practice work this week."
ESPN's Chris Mortensen added Bradford is going to see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his knee Friday.
Bradford had a terrific 2017 debut against the New Orleans Saints. The 2010 No. 1 overall pick went 27-of-32 for 346 yards and three touchdowns in a 29-19 Week 1 win.
Mortensen reported on Sept. 15 the Vikings had "some concerns" about Bradford's knee after he underwent an MRI when he experienced "swelling, pain and discomfort" during the win over New Orleans.
The Vikings made Bradford inactive in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting Case Keenum in his place.
Bradford tore the ACL in his left knee twice during the 2013 and 2014 seasons while playing for the St. Louis Rams. The Collapse
