Stefon Diggs/Adam Thielen – WRs

As was the case for most of the Vikings’ offensive players not named Dalvin Cook, it took a little bit for Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs to find their groove this season.

But once the proper adjustments were made after Week 4, Diggs and Thielen have been back to being the most dynamic receiving duo in the NFL this year.

From Week 5 to Week 7, Minnesota’s top two pass catchers combined to haul in 31 passes for 565 yards and seven touchdowns. With a total of 10 touchdown catches through the first eight weeks, Diggs and Thielen have accounted for 40 percent of the Vikings’ trips to the end zone this season.

Both receivers have the talent to be a No. 1 guy for any team in the NFL. So the fact that they’re both on the same roster makes them even bigger weapons for Minnesota to use in their offense.

The involvement of Diggs and Thielen is very vital to the success of the Vikings’ offense and luckily the team’s new offensive staff realized this before it was too late their tremendous talents were wasted this season.
