Don’t expect much in the way of points from the veteran, but with penalties in back-to-back games and as many as 53 minutes in a season before, he can help in that regard. The journeyman’s ice time is up and he’s already recorded 35 blocks with 20 hits, so could definitely be an asset in leagues that track these stats.

Calgary’s 2017 first round pick came into his own last season, recording 11 points in 49 games despite seeing slightly less PT than he did in his rookie campaign. Valimaki isn’t likely to light up the scoresheet, yet he did actually lead Flames defensemen in A/60 last season, so there’s potential here. He’s getting solid third pairing minutes and twice this week in a three-game span he recorded four minutes in penalties, so can provide a boost in leagues that track that. Consider Valimaki in very deep formats for now, but don’t be shocked if he becomes a bigger asset as the season progresses.

On the season, the Vikings have managed to pressure opposing quarterbacks 32 per cent of the time, producing a sack rate of 9.3 per cent (both ranked first in the league). Owners should expect a pseudo pitch count for Prescott and a heavier tilt towards the run game.

The Bucks play four games next week, so consider Hill as a viable short-term add — especially while he’s starting for Holiday (although note that Holiday is listed as probable for Saturday).
