Which receivers will make the final 2019 roster?

The number of wide receivers the Vikings will carry on the final roster in 2019 will depend a lot on the quality of the entire roster.

With one of these players likely winning the team’s punt returning position, it is likely there will be six receivers kept around for next season.

There is a possibility that Minnesota could be looking to still add another veteran receiver to round out the group this year, a lot like they did with Aldrick Robinson last season. Robinson joined the team after being released by the San Francisco 49ers in September. The Vikings also had Kendall Wright and Tavarres King in training camp last year before finalizing the roster.

Of the 11 receivers currently on the roster, the following will make the team.

  • Adam Thielen
  • Stefon Diggs
  • Laquon Treadwell
  • Chad Beebe
  • Jordan Taylor
  • A veteran to be named later

The best chance for the remaining players is to make the practice squad.
