Anthony Barr, LB

Barr’s job on Sunday will likely be to watch Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers like a hawk. The Green Bay signal caller is already off to another great start this season (273 passing yards per game, 13 touchdowns), so the Vikings are not going to want him continuing that success this week.

Despite not yet having any sacks this year, Barr is again resembling the player Minnesota grew accustomed to seeing in his first two seasons with the team. Through five games in 2017, the Vikings linebacker is averaging six tackles per game, well above his average from his first three seasons in Minnesota (4.9).
