Expectations: This is one of the youngest teams in the league,Wholesale Football Jerseys, but with Peterson, Newman, LB Chad Greenway and DE Brian Robison all key starters at 30-plus years old, there's plenty of urgency to improve on a so-so first season under coach Mike Zimmer. With six of their eight first-round picks acquired over the last four drafts in the starting lineup, the talent level is as high as it's been in for a while. If Bridgewater takes another solid step forward, this team could be playoff-bound.
What's New: Adrian Peterson has returned at RB,Brett Favre Falcons Jersey UK, following his hiatus due to child abuse charge and subsequent NFL suspension that kept him out for all but one game last year. This time, Teddy Bridgewater is entrenched as the starting QB after a mixed rookie season that ended with more good than bad. Wallace ought to help stretch the field. On the other side, Newman's arrival has allowed the Vikings to bring along their first-round draft pick Waynes slowly.
Weaknesses: OL, kicking, run defense.
Strengths: RBs, WR, TE, secondary.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS (7-9)
Fantasy Tip: Don't count on another 2,Chile Soccer Jersey,000-yard season,Authentic NFL Jerseys Wholesale, but Peterson is healthy, determined and poised for plenty of production with the likelihood he'll catch more passes out of the backfield. There's little upside to a late handcuff pick with RBs Jerick McKinnon or Matt Asiata. Consider a sleeper like WR Charles Johnson,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, who became Bridgewater's favorite target in the second half of last season.
New faces: WR Mike Wallace, CB Terence Newman and CB Trae Waynes,Cheap China Jerseys, LB Eric Kendricks, QB Shaun Hill.
Key losses: FB Jerome Felton, WR Greg Jennings, LG Charlie Johnson, LB Jasper Brinkley, QB Matt Cassel. |
