Which members of the Minnesota Vikings’ offense will be the most interesting to watch when the team faces off against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday?

The Minnesota Vikings will be kicking off their 2017 NFL preseason schedule on Thursday when they travel to New York for a matchup with the Buffalo Bills. It will be the first time the Vikings have played in an actual organized football game since they defeated the Chicago Bears last year in their final game of the 2016 season.

Minnesota’s offense will likely be without a few players for this week’s game who could play key roles for them once the regular season begins. Wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is dealing with a thigh injury that will likely keep him sidelined on Thursday and running back Latavius Murray has already confirmed that he will not be playing against the Bills.

As for the rest of the Vikings’ offense, which players should have the spotlight shined on them a bit brighter than others on Thursday in Buffalo?
