Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and the player rankings for the Minnesota Vikings have changed. Who are the best players on the team right now?

The Minnesota Vikings finally had their regular season opener on Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018 as they faced off against quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers in front of the crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Thankfully, the Vikings walked out with a big win against a tough team and start their season off 1-0, but it was a tough road to get there with many players needing some great performances to put San Francisco away.

The player rankings continue this week, acting like NFL team power rankings except weighing player performances for the season as it goes on and moving those individuals up and down the list.

Let’s get started by taking a look at the players who are ranked tenth through eighth as the team looks ahead to Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers.
