The Vikings have one of the better wide receivers in the NFL, but after that, the position group is up in the air.
There is Justin Jefferson, though. Jefferson, a wide receiver, was taken by Minnesota in the first round. Bleacher Report listed Jefferson as one of the rookies who can take the NFL by storm.
However, the outlet did not rate Jefferson and Thielen high enough to make the list of top wide receiver tandems. It might be fair to not do right now, considering Jefferson is a rookie who has yet to play.
But there were some rookies who cracked Bleacher Report’s list of best running back duos, a list in which Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison were snubbed from the top 10.
Despite Thielen suffering an injury and Jefferson not having NFL experience, I think you could make the argument that those two are a better duo, based on projections, than Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. We’ll see.
