The Minnesota Vikings head into their divisional matchup with the top spot in the NFC North up for grabs with the Lions. Detroit is coming off of completely dismantling the Dallas Cowboys in front of its home fans and now they’re hoping to play spoiler to Vikings fans.
Whether they can is another question.
Sam Darnold has been playing out of his mind lately. Can this continue? The emergence of players on the depth chart, such as Jalen Naylor and Blake Brundle, has this team performing at an all-time high. Getting players back from injury has also been key, last week it was Jordan Addison and this week it is expected to be Evan Pace Jr.
These are just some of the players and stories that are on the depth chart and are expected to see some playing time. Here are everyone and where they stand on the chart.
