1. Minnesota Vikings


Top Three Receivers: Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings

The Minnesota Vikings may not know who their quarterback will be in 2026, but one thing is for sure: Who ever that quarterback is has a loaded cadre of wideouts at his disposal.

The group is headlined by Justin Jefferson, who is arguably the best wide receiver in the game. His 1,048 receiving yards and 12.5 yards per reception last year were both career lows, but that had a lot more to do with the quarterback play in the Twin Cities than anything Jefferson did.

The seventh-year veteran has never failed to hit 1,000 yards in a season, has averaged just over 90 receiving yards a game for his career and reeled in 42 career touchdowns.

Jordan Addison may not be Jefferson, and his 2025 season was the worst of his three years in the league. But he has shown a nose for the end zone, scoring 19 touchdowns over his first two years in the pros.

Add in Jauan Jennings, who has 132 catches and 15 touchdowns over the past two years, and you have a trio of experienced, productive pass catchers—and a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators.

Can't wait for Murray to throw into the backs of our extremely tall Oline all season long trying to get it to the WR's

I like the room very much, along with Felton and possibly Dillon Bell. Bell reminds me of a Davante Adams lite type.....hell the kid might not make it to September on the team, who knows.....but if he somehow develops and sticks, just sayin' that's what he might be similar to as a player. Low end.

You're thinking Adams lite? I was thinking more in the vein of a Debow??? Or Percy H?

I agree though, I think that kid might be more than we thought coming out of GA. Might just be me with a fan take though.

Ok that made me laugh...

But I think (hope) that 20,460 passing yards/121 td's to 60 ints/92.2 passer rating with these weapons/surround blows it up.

Yeah, Debo Samuels is another decent comp on the lite side. Percy was more explosive than I think Bell is and shorter.

Hey, its all fan takes right now. And its early, but for what its worth, Steve Smith was touting this dude months ago. He's a dawg as well.....needs some time yet to develop.

I couldn't help but laugh that someone thought that was worthy of videoing and posting. Those shoulder puffs definitely mean he is a future HOF'er

There's 2 things to see this year that will be unlike any roster I've seen since the mid 80's...

It's on paper, I get it ,they have to prove it on the field.

-the skill of the Vikings top 3 WR's

-the Size of the O line, especially the IOL.

Bell is my guy man. I was stoked we got him. I think he very much makes the team and we carry 6. He will help out immediately on STs. Very excited about the kid. Started a thread after we drafted him that he was my camp guy. UDFA thats makes the team. I think Bell will be that guy.
