Opening night is less than two weeks away and Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are still trying to figure out exactly what they have in a banged-up receiving corps and a rotating offensive line.

They took some steps in the right direction Saturday night during the team's 24-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Favre’s two newest targets made pretty good impressions just days after arriving in Minnesota.

Greg Camarillo had four catches for 47 yards and Javon Walker made a great catch over Walter Thurmond for a 25-yard TD from Sage Rosenfels in the fourth quarter.

Favre, who was coaxed back for a 20th NFL season on Aug. 18, played eight series on Saturday night. He led the Vikings to one field goal and a touchdown, a 24-yard run by Adrian Peterson that was set up by a 73-yard kickoff return by Darius Reynaud.

Peterson finished with 37 yards on 11 carries.

The Vikings also had to be encouraged by Percy Harvin’s return. The reigning offensive rookie of the year has only practiced six times this preseason because of recurring migraine headaches, including a bout that caused trainers to call an ambulance to practice just over a week ago.

Harvin had two catches for 30 yards.

Texans WR Nico Collins "long shot" to play Week 10

With Nico Collins still not practicing today and not designated to return from IR, it makes him a long shot to play Sunday night vs. the Texans.

Related Players: Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Impact:

Since the injury to Stefon Diggs, Dell has been the only reliable piece of this receiving corps, and it looks like that will continue for one more week. C.J. Stroud can be benched in place of a streamer for Week 10.

“He’ll be fine,” Liam Coen says of Baker Mayfield’s toe, knowing he’s been limited but will be ready come Sunday afternoon vs. 49ers.

Related Players: Kyle Trask

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like Mayfield will suit up, but it's a pretty difficult matchup against the 49ers defense. He should be considered a top-15 option for Week 10.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell expected to make season debut on TNF

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) expected to be active for tonight’s Bengals game barring unforeseen development, per sources.

Practiced in full this week and ready for his season debut. A jolt of speed in time for rivalry game.

Related Players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of usage out of Mitchell here, but it will probably come at the expense of Hill, rather than Henry, if it's a close game. We'll have to see how the backfield splits moving forward, but stashing Mitchell is certainly not a bad idea.
