Adam Thielen led the Vikings in targets (143), receptions (91), receiv-
ing yards (1,276) and catches of 20-yards or more (20). His 1,276 yards
were fifth in the NFL, which led to Thielen earning his first Pro Bowl
invite. He is signed through the 2020 season and has a starting spot guaranteed. Hopefully he will hit pay dirt more often in 2018, as he was only in the endzone four times last year (third on the team).
Stefon Diggs missed two games last season because of injury but was still second on the team in targets (95), receptions (64) and receiving yards (849). He also led the Minnesota receivers with eight touchdown catches. He will undoubtedly be the other starting WR in 2018, although if he wants to take his game to the next level he will need to stay healthy (he has yet to play a full 16-games in a season). Diggs is also entering the last year of his contract, so I expect a contract extension to be finalized sometime between now and the start of the season.
Laquon Treadwell’s 20 catches for 200 yards is good for the third highest stats of the Vi- kings’ receivers last year. Entering his third year in the NFL, the former first-round pick has been labeled by many as a “bust”. However, after watching the film I saw a huge jump from year one to year two. There were way too many times when he was open and wasn’t even looked at, which is partly due to who is in front of him in the pecking order (Thielen, Diggs, Kyle Rudolph) and partly because Case Keenum rarely made it past his first or second reads on any given play. With another year under his belt, and a new quarterback behind center, I expect big things from Treadwell this year.
Last season, only five Vikings’ wide receivers caught a pass. If Thielen, Diggs and Treadwell have a roster spot locked up, that leaves the remaining players fighting it out for the last two or three spots.
Jeff Badet – an undrafted rookie from Oklahoma. He is athletic and can return kicks, but has inconsistent hands and will be lucky to get a practice squad spot.
Chad Beebe – another undrafted rookie, this time from Northern Illinois. I couldn’t find much film on him, but my best guess is he is just a camp body who will need to make a career shift this fall.
Stacy Coley – a seventh-round draft pick of the Vikings in 2017. Coley played in four games last year but didn’t have a catch and only had one kick return (19 yards). He has a good shot to make the final roster.
Cayleb Jones – was on the Vikings’ practice squad last season but will be hard pressed to make it back because he is suspended the first four games of the 2018 season for violating the NFL’s performance enhancing drugs policy.
Tavarres King – drafted in the fifth-round of the 2013 draft by the Denver Broncos. After bouncing around from team to team, he has landed in Minnesota. Over the past two seasons with the Ney York Giants, he amassed 20 catches for 290 yards (while also adding three catches for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ 2016 playoff game). He has a strong chance to make the Vikings’ final 53-man roster.
Korey Robertson – undrafted rookie from Southern Mississippi. He isn’t very athletic, but plays with strength and can out-muscle smaller cornerbacks. He is another camp body with a very small chance to make the practice squad.
Jake Wieneke – undrafted rookie from South Dakota State. He is the tallest receiver on the Vikings’ roster at 6’4”. While he isn’t the fastest receiver, he has great body control and has shown the ability to adjust in mid air to make
contested catches. He also seems to show up
when the lights are the brightest, so I’m surely not going to count him out of at least making the Vikings’ practice squad.
Kendall Wright – entering his seventh NFL season. He is very similar to Jarius Wright and will likely fulfill that role on the Vikings. He has a very good chance to make the final roster unless there is a cheaper, younger option who the team feels comfortable with.
Brandon Zylstra – played at Concordia-Moor- head before heading to the Canadian Football League. He led the CFL last season with 1,687 yards and five touchdowns on 100 catches. He’s shown the ability to produce, now he will need to show he can do it in the NFL. Strong practice squad candidate.

Weekly Vikings Roundup
By Jordan Wright
We have now hit week three of the yearly Minnesota Vikings roster breakdown. So far, we have covered the quarterback, running back and fullback positions. This week, we attempt to tackle the wide receiver position.
As the roster currently sits, there are 12 wide receivers battling it out for five or six roster spots. The Vikings boast one of the best wide receiver groups in the entire NFL. The position has certainly gone from lackluster to envious in just a couple seasons, primarily because of the emergence of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.
