Smitty’s Take: This was quite the scoring fest for a Thursday night Week 4 game. Robert Woods pulled in five catches for 101 yards and a touchdown, Jared Goff completed 26-of-33 passes for 465 yards and five touchdowns, Todd Gurley totaled 83 yards on 17 carries and pulled in 4 receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown during Thursday’s Week 4 win over the Vikings. Brandin Cooks also pulled in seven catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, while Cooper Kupp 9 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns.
On the Vikings side of the football, Aldrick Robinson pulled in 33 yards and two touchdowns on two targets, while Dalvin Cook was held to 20 yards on 10 carries. Stefon Diggs pulled in 11 catches for 123 yards and Adam Thielen pulled in 8 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown. Kirk Cousins completed 36-of-50 passes for 422 yards and three touchdowns. While it will be tempting to start guys like Jared Goff and Cooper Kupp over struggling studs, make sure you get on our Forums and get some advice, or get our 1-on-1 Ask Smitty Advice! Robert Woods is now a lock to start each week, at least as a low-end WR2 or excellent WR3/flex. Dalvin Cook is a nice buy-low target coming off a slow comeback performance.
