The Facts: Wallace quit on the Dolphins. He caused problems in the locker room. He wasn't happy to be traded to the Vikings. All of these things were said, or reported, about the veteran wide receiver from the end of last year and into the offseason. But the version of Wallace that the Vikings have seen since acquiring him for a fifth-round pick in the 2015 draft in March has been anything but a recalcitrant player. "I definitely have something to prove," Wallace said. "Everyone knows why I'm here. I have a lot to prove, man."

Diehards Line:According to 1500ESPN.com's Judd Zulgad, Wallace is usually the last guy off the field following each practice because he wants to put in extra work. He has granted just about every interview he has been asked to conduct and he has talked about wanting to be a leader. Wallace's new-found inspiration likely is twofold and is the reason why the Vikings should be confident they got the best of the Dolphins. The first is financial. While Wallace did not come cheap, he also arrived in Minnesota on what amounts to a one-year contract. Reason number two is that not only does Wallace appear to be a better fit in coordinator Norv Turner's offense than he was in the Dolphins' scheme, but he also figures to have someone in his face if he becomes disgruntled with how he's used. Specifically, HC Mike Zimmer and Turner aren't the types who have patience for a guy who might decide to put himself ahead of the team. Whatever the case, Wallace's best asset is his deep speed, which should mesh well with Teddy Bridgewater, who throws a beautiful, underrated deep ball. That alone makes him of fantasy interest.
