2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Zavier Scott in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
RANKS
Signed a one-year, $840,000 contract with the Vikings in January of 2025.
Limited to special teams Thursday
RBMinnesota Vikings
December 26, 2025
Scott didn't play a snap on offense in Thursday's 23-10 win over the Lions, though he logged 10 snaps on special teams and made two tackles.
ANALYSIS
With Jordan Mason (ankle) unable to play Thursday, there was some expectation that Scott could move into the RB2 role. Instead, that assignment went to Ty Chandler, who was just activated from IR on Tuesday and was available for the first time since Week 1. Even as the Vikings went to a run-heavy game plan on Christmas Day, Scott didn't log an offensive snap, with Aaron Jones (18-53-1) and Chandler (7-24-0) handling all of the RB reps. Even if Mason remains out of action for the season finale against the Packers in Week 18, it doesn't look like Scott will be targeted for a big role (unless the out-of-contention Vikings decide to rest vets like Jones and/or Chandler).
