The Minnesota Vikings are getting NFC North momentum as they are coming off their most impressive win of the year. They fended off a tough Seahawks team on Sunday and were able to secure the win with a last-minute touchdown from Justin Jefferson.
The Vikings roster has had players emerge and become playmakers of their own, on Sunday we saw some on defense.
The offense has seen some newer faces, especially Josh Oliver, emerge and make plays in recent weeks. The veteran tight end has proven to be a security blanket for Darnold but is banged up coming out of the Titans game. On defense, they lost Ivan Pace Jr. but they opened his practice window so he should be back for the playoffs.
These are just some of the players and stories on the depth chart expected to see some playing time. Here is everyone else and where they stand on the chart.
