2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fries missed the final 12 games of the 2024 campaign with the Colts due to a fractured tibia, but he now joins fellow former Indy starter Ryan Kelly by migrating to Minnesota, where he projects to start at right guard after the Vikings added Donovan Jackson in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Signed a five-year, $87.72 million contract with the Vikings in March of 2025.
Suiting up vs. Bears
Fries (calf) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Chicago, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday with a calf issue, Fries practiced in full Friday and is in line to play Sunday. He should start at right guard against a struggling Bears defense in Week 11.
