Minnesota’s wide receiver group entering the 2022 season is a highly competitive one filled with huge talents like Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and K.J. Osborn, but it would be silly not to have the most dangerous trio ever to line up at receiver for the Vikings.

Stefon Diggs coming back to the team would be a dream come true for many fans and having these three options available for Kirk Cousins in the new Minnesota Vikings offense would ensure that opposing defenses would have their hands full on every snap.

A great route runner and deep threat, Diggs thrived in Minnesota with Kirk Cousins and has become a player who has helped to elevate the Buffalo Bills to being championship contenders for the upcoming season.

K.J. Osborn has emerged as a solid WR3 threat, but there would be no shame in sliding down a spot to make room for what would be one of the most explosive offenses Minnesota has seen since “Three Deep” took the field.
