Minnesota Vikings stock market report: Week 3 vs Carolina

Which Minnesota Vikings players saw their stock rise, and who watched their stock drop in the week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers?

The Minnesota Vikings traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina to do battle against the reigning NFC champions.

Knowing they were the underdogs, the Vikings came into the game with something to prove.
