Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Ham (ankle) had a "simple procedure" done on his ankle on Wednesday. Ham was on the team's injury report with an ankle injury toward the end of the 2024 season, but he didn't miss any games. The 31-year-old veteran fullback shouldn't face a lengthy recovery timeline after having a minor surgery on his ankle and should be able to take part in most of the team's offseason workouts. He will not be anywhere near the fantasy radar once again going into the 2025 ...

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to an undisclosed two-year contract extension with fullback C.J. Ham on Wednesday. As a fullback, Ham has no value in fantasy football, but he's an important real-life player for the Vikings. The 29-year-old has spent all six of his NFL seasons in Minnesota and made his only Pro Bowl with the team back in 2019. In his six years with the Vikes, he's totaled 36 carries for 97 yards and three touchdowns, adding 70 receptions for 610 yards and another two touchdowns in ...

Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Ham was being talked up by the team in training camp this summer as a player that could contribute in multiple ways on offense in 2022. The new coaching staff and quarterback Kirk Cousins really see Ham as a player that can help in multiple ways. Head coach Kevin O'Connell could use multiple running backs on the field at the same time, perhaps deploying Ham as an extra tight end at times. The Vikings aren't lacking for offensive weapons, though, so unless Dalvin...

Not all DFS picks are the same -- if you're competing in a DFS tournament for Week 14 Thursday Night Football, here are our optimal lineups.

Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Ham (COVID-19 list) has been given the green light to return for Sunday's game versus Dallas, having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list earlier in the week. While Ham holds little fantasy intrigue in his own right, he serves as the primary backfield blocker for Dalvin Cook, who has a golden fantasy matchup against the Cowboys Defense in Week 11. Ham has just five touches in 2020, but his activation bodes well for those fantasy managers relying on a ...

Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Hamhas been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, although that does not necessarily mean that Ham has tested positive for the virus. Having touched the ball just five times this season, Ham has essentially no fantasy intrigue, but sharing a backfield room with Dalvin Cook potentially could throw Sunday's plans versus Dallas into flux. It appears as if Cook is in the clear from a virus standpoint, but he could be facing the possibility of playing Sunday against the...

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to a deal on Monday that will keep fullback C.J. Ham with the team through the 2023 season, according to his agent, Blake Baratz. The fullback will make $4 million in 2020 and earns $12.25 million over four years, becoming the league's second highest paid fullback behind San Francisco's Kyle Juszczyk. Ham carved out a bigger role in the offense in 2019, catching 17 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. He won't have much fantasy value, if at all, but his presence ...
