Minnesota Vikings
On paper, the Minnesota Vikings should be a top 10 team in the NFL. Mike Zimmer is one of the better head coaches in the league, Kirk Cousins is a top 10 quarterback and the defence has some top-quality players on it, including Danielle Hunter, Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris. They even added Yannick Ngakoue late in the offseason to pair up with Hunter. However, a tradition of falling short when the lights are shining bright means you can expect this team to make the playoffs, but probably not much better than that.
Star Player: Danielle Hunter, Edge Rusher
Key Addition: Yannick Ngakoue, Edge Rusher
Record: 10-6. I actually think the Vikings will win their division so will get a home playoff game. They’re not quite good enough to be considered true Superbowl contenders though.
Hunter and Ngakoue coming off the edge? 😳
