Tennessee Titans vs Minnesota Vikings: 5 keys to victory
By Adam Carlson
#4: Wide receiver options
This time two months ago, everyone assumed that it would be Stefon Diggs and Laquon Treadwell catching passes from Teddy Bridgewater when the regular season kicked off. After a horrifying injury to Bridgewater and a disappointing preseason from Treadwell, that won’t be the case.
Add in limited practices from Charles Johnson, and there is a chance it could be Jarius Wright, Adam Thielen, or maybe even Cordarrelle Patterson getting the start. Considering that unofficial depth charts in the NFL are written with some of the lightest pencil marks ever, it could be just about anyone.
Strangely enough, this shouldn’t be a worry though. Many of these players are either proven commodities that are known to contribute or dynamic playmakers that should excel when the ball is put into their hands.
Fans will have their individual preferences as to who they want to see starting for the Vikings, but Minnesota rotates players in a way that will likely see every available pass catcher on the field anyway. But there is a certain prestige in being made a starter that is a lot of fun and picking the right receivers for the best situations could pay off in a big way for Minnesota.
