Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days.To help us through the high season, we look at each team in NFL in order of expected 2024 -win in total: the Vikings.
It is a new day in Minnesota.After having had Kirk Cousins under the center for six seasons, Minnesota Vikings and their long quarterback took various directions this season.
Cousins is now the starter with Atlanta Falcons, while the Vikings went with a youth movement and Michigan's J.J.McCarthy chose the 10th elections in the NFL design.
McCarthy comes to Minnesota Vers from a National Championship with Wolverines, and now gets the chance to play in a potential violation of high Octani with recipients Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
But to reach the Vikings their ceiling, McCarthy must be a fast study, Coach Kevin O'Connell has to do his best work, and an improved defense must continue his ascension under coordinator Brian Flores.
Biggest gamble of this season: let cousins go
The Vikings could have decided to play a big game in an attempt to keep cousins.
Instead, Minnesota continued without cousins even though they had no clear replacement available.
Whether Darnold or McCarthy initially starts is probably that the attack will not be as powerful as under cousins.But with the 35-year-old who came from a torn Achilles, Minnesota might come out at the right time.
The most difficult part of the season: weeks 2 to 5
Although the Vikings have the advantage of a few home games during this piece, it concerns four tough opponents and a wealth of travel.
Minnesota starts this piece by hosting NFC champion San Francisco 49ers and then C.J.stroud and Houston Texans in the return of Danielle Hunter.
For the Vikings this will be an enormous, early test, especially when the Quarterback situation starts.
Breakout player to watch: Wr Jordan Addison
Addison had an excellent Rookie year, but this season his leap could be to Supersterdom.
Addison caught 70 passports in 911 Yards and a Rookie-Crowning 10 TouchDowns.nu with Jefferson Sunded, he should get less attention from top corners and safeties that play over the top.
Although Jefferson will always be the best option, Addison should thrive in a secondary role and give Minnesota another 1000 meters with ALT-PRO potential.Develops a chemistry with Darnold and McCarthy.
Best Case Scenario: McCarthy, Flores shine on the way to NFC North Crownn
There is a world where the Vikings are very good in 2024.
Minnesota needs McCarthy to be a quick examination, but if he is, the Vikings can have one of the more powerful violations in the NFL. The has a quartet of skill weapon, a star -friendly tackle in Christian Darrisaw and a coach who understands howHow understands how how understands how how understands how how understands how understands how understands how how understands how understands how understands how understands how how understands how.To use your concepts.
Defensively, Flores is one of the best coordinators in football.
Worst-case scenario: Quarterback plays the ship Sinking
Minnesota makes a big gamble about the combination of Darnold and McCarthy to keep the Vikings out of the bottom of a hard NFC North.
There is a realistic scenario in which Minnesota switches between the veteran and the Rookie that tries to find suitable Quarterback games, only to fail in both respects.On Flores and the defense.
Although the defense must be solid, it is unlikely that it is good enough to deliver a play -off -quay.
Head coach Quarterback Tandem
Nr.22: Kevin O'Connell (13) in J.J.MCCarthy (31)
The Vikings are one of the most exciting teams of the competition, led by a coach in O'Connell, one of the better attacking spirits of the NFL.Minnesota offended with weapons such as recipients Jefferson and Addison Die Aaron Jones and Hockenson.mcarthy, the10th choice in the design is in an ideal situation.
Sleeper Fantasy Pick: McCarthy
Was McCarthy's rapid increase in the NFL design justified?), not?—Michael Fabiano
Best effort: Justin Jefferson under 1275.5 received yards (-110) on conceptkings
We have not yet seen Jefferson in the NFL without cousins. Since the Rookie season of Jefferson, McCarthy was on average less than 200 passing yards per year. In his last year in Michigan.If it is not McCarthy under the center, it will be Darnold, unfortunately there is inconsistent.Jefferson has already received the bag, and I put my money under it.—Jennifer Piagenti
