Vikings without Jefferson…

[LabattBlue]

The Vikings have gone undefeated(5-0) while Jefferson has been out injured.  Pretty impressive regardless of opponents. 

[Alphadawg7]

But my fantasy team hasn't 😡

[Warcodered]

They should probably just trade him to some red and blue team with an animal mascot in the AFC East during the offseason then.

See?   Ya don’t even need a WR1.  Just a bunch of WR 2, 3, 4, 5!

Having an offensive game plan/strategy that actually works does amazing things for a team. Allen is much better than Cousins and Dobbs but his coaches dont use him as well as they can. It seems like the Vikings have the offensive side of the ball down solid which is significant in a modern offense first league. We are doing much less on the scoreboard despite having our number one receiver....

Addison is the real deal. Hockenson too, at least in their mind given the contract that they forked out to him. 

[Charles Romes]

Looks like they have 2 1s

The Patriots?

Dobbs is just playing street ball and it’s working.

Has to be street ball to an extent, he just arrived and started 5 days later after a trade. 
 

However, dude is insanely smart; degree in aeronautical science I believe.

Somewhere on an alternate timeline, Patrick Mahomes is tossing TDs to Justin Jefferson in Buffalo.

Yup, both # 1 and 2 of the NFL’s top 100 players were Bills draft picks

Omg.. I hate the truth.

Yea. Jordan Addison is pretty darn good. That helps.

[Maynard]

Trade for him!

Using multiple 1st round picks on WRs…imagine that.

We might of had him if not for the Vikings.  Beane has to flat tell McDermott NO if he suggests anything other than WR in the 1st in April.

[Big Blitz]

Kevin O’Connell. 

[John from Riverside]

Well, that wide receiver that they drafted in the first round, looks pretty good

[Richard Noggin]

I wonder about (but am reluctant to concretely entertain) the notion that NFL teams should seek to spread their caps more evenly throughout the entirety of the 53-man roster.

 

Injuries are so widespread and impactful. I wonder if there is wisdom to building a deeper depth chart that isn't so traditionally top-heavy, cap-wise. 

 

Probably still want to have an elite QB, offensive target, and defender who affects the QB, but it feels like injuries are highlighting the need for more depth. And also, for sure, coaching. Systems and execution of said systems.
