The Minnesota Vikings have a bye week in Week 10, but who are the ten best players on the roster following their big victory over the Lions in Week 9?

Week 9 was something special for the Minnesota Vikings. Despite a struggling offense, the team’s defense was able to put the game on their shoulders and keep the Lions out of the end zone to get a big 24-9 win at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Even more impressive was the defense’s ability to get to the quarterback. They set a franchise record of ten sacks on Matthew Stafford on the day and allowed only 209 total yards of offense from Detroit.

There were some amazing individual efforts during the game while others were a little disappointing. For that reason, the Minnesota Vikings player rankings need to be adjusted to accommodate those performances.

Let’s take a look at the top ten players from the Vikings as they head into their bye week in Week 10 as well as a few players who are on the fringe of jumping into the list!
