1. Who Steps Up Behind Adam Thielen?
In addition to all of the departures on the defensive side of the football, the Vikings also traded Stefon Diggs. He was sent to the Buffalo Bills after a ton of drama last year and during the early stages of the offseason.
Now, the Vikings need a No. 2 wide receiver to step up. The obvious favorite at this point in time is rookie wideout Justin Jefferson, who was a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Minnesota also has Bisi Johnson and Tajae Sharpe who are competing for time at wide receiver. Both of those guys have proven throughout their careers that they can play a sizable role.
Thielen is going to put up big numbers this season assuming he stays healthy. If the Vikings want to get the most out of him, they need another receiver to keep defenses honest. Jefferson has to have a big year, but the other three guys on this list need to step up as well.
