DEN QB Case Keenum - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

What an impressive season Case Keenum had last season with the Vikings. In his lone year in Minnesota, he led the club to the NFC Championship game, played in 15 games (14 starts), and completed over 67 percent of his passes. He threw for over 3,500 yards with 22 TDs and just seven interceptions. Keenum is a bit of a threat to run, too, carrying the ball 40 times for 160 yards and a score in 2017. Coming to his new team in Denver, the 30-year-old has two of the best WRs in the game to throw to in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. And, rookie Courtland Sutton will also help stretch the field.

Fantasy Downside

Mostly a backup during his six-year career, Keenum had started only six games as a pro prior to last season. He threw for 300 yards just twice ins 2017 and tossed for fewer than 200 yards on five different occasions. There’s the realization that his success won’t translate on another team, with a different offensive scheme. Keenum has been a journeyman QB, who is now on his fourth team and fifth city in the past five years.

2018 Bottom Line

The Broncos signed Keenum to a two-year deal with the anticipation that he’ll be able to stabilize the QB spot that has been a mess the past two years since Peyton Manning retired. While he played like a top-10 QB last year, expect him to regress, as he's in a new system with what could be considered a downgraded group of weapons and a defense that might not be as strong, especially versus the run. If he’s able to stay healthy, Keenum makes for no more than a middle-of-the-pack fantasy QB option.

MIN QB Case Keenum - Week 20 Fantasy Football Outlook

NFC Conference Championship at Philadelphia Eagles

Case Keenum played well last week, throwing for over 300 yards and a touchdown against the Saints. But he gets a much tougher task this week against the Eagles. Philadelphia has mostly held passers below 200 yards passing, or just above that mark since Week 8, aside from a random 434-yard day from the Giants in Week 15.

Keenum has been on a bit of a cold streak lately, with no multi-touchdown performances for three straight weeks. We expect this game to be a battle of defenses rather than a QB duel, so expect low scoring. Keenum isn't a strong option in the NFC title game.

MIN QB Case Keenum - Week 19 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round vs. Saints

Case Keenum was one of the biggest surprises of the 2017 season, throwing for 3,547 yards, 22 touchdowns, and just 7 interceptions. He didn't have a great end to the season from a fantasy perspective, finishing with less than 200 yards in the final two games with just two scores.

He gets a fairly tough matchup this week against the Saints, who held QBs to just one passing score in the final four games of the season. However, in the first playoff game the Saints gave up quite a bit to Cam Newton, who had 349 yards and 2 touchdowns.

You shouldn't expect a huge game from Keenum, but he is one of the safer plays this week. He plays well, has a better matchup than most the QBs, and his high floor makes him an attractive choice.

MIN QB Case Keenum - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Chicago Bears

The Vikings haven't had to rely much on Case Keenum the last two weeks as he's has 23 and 25 passing attempts in each game, respectively. Those are two of his three lowest numbers in that category this season, which has led to lower numbers. It makes sense, though, fewer passes equals lower numbers. He's still playing at a high level, throwing at least 2 touchdowns in six of his last eight games.

He gets a tough task this week against the Bears, who have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs. Keenum actually played well against Chicago, though, completing 17-of-21 passes in Week 5, even though he didn't start that game.

There's some risk due to the difficult matchup, but Keenum should still be viewed as a QB1 this week.

MIN QB Case Keenum - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Green Bay Packers

Case Keenum was pretty much perfect last week, completing 20-of-23 passes for 236 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. He could have had an even bigger day, but there was no need in a blowout. Keenum continues to impress as he now has 14 touchdowns in his last six games since Minnesota's bye week.

He should continue his hot streak this week in a favorable matchup against the Packers. Green Bay has struggled lately, allowing 13 passing touchdowns in the last four games (that's an average of over three per game). The only thing holding Keenum back this week is if Minnesota has another blowout. He should be viewed as a QB1.

MIN QB Case Keenum - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Case Keenum had a decent outing last week, throwing for 280 yards with 2 touchdowns while also rushing for 40 yards. But he had three turnovers (2 interceptions, 1 fumble) as well. Keenum typically doesn't turn the ball over, so we'll focus on the fact he now has multi-touchdown games in five of his last six games, a rarity for Minnesota's QB a year ago.

Keenum has turned into a surprisingly solid QB in fantasy, and he should continue to have success this week in a favorable matchup against the Bengals. He should be viewed as a low-end QB1 option in Week 15.

MIN QB Case Keenum - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Carolina Panthers

Case Keenum had another solid outing last week, throwing for 227 yards and 2 touchdowns. He now has scored 10 touchdowns (1 rush) in his last four games as he continues a hot streak down the stretch of the season.

Things could get a bit tougher this week, though, in a matchup against the Panthers. Carolina is more stingy than favorable to opposing QBs, so you can probably expect Keenum's averages to drop a bit. He's not a terrible option, but he should be considered just outside the QB1 range.
