Wide Receivers (5)
- Adam Thielen
- Stefon Diggs
- Kendall Wright
- Laquon Treadwell
- Brandon Zylstra
There may not be a better wide receiver duo in the NFL than Thielen and Diggs, who set the NFL on fire with their sure-fire hands and ability to make plays after the catch the last two seasons. Now they look to continue their excellent play and help Kirk Cousins succeed in his first year with the purple and gold.
The third receiver spot will be an interesting one. Wright and Treadwell will be battling for that spot on the roster, but both will likely see significant playing time in John DeFilippo’s offense. That should make their order on the depth chart nearly meaningless.
There are a ton of guys fighting for that fifth receiver spot, but it’s hard not to root for Brandon Zylstra to be the next small-school Minnesota guy to become a contributor in Minnesota’s offense, following in the footsteps of Thielen.
Of course, he’ll have to beat out quite a few guys, including Stacy Coley, Chad Beebe, Jeff Badet, Korey Robertson, Jake Wieneke, Tavarres King and Cayleb Jones. Still, none of those guys should have a head up going into the preseason, making the race wide open.
