The depth portion of the Vikings’ depth chart is certainly being tested.
Seeing Cam Akers, Jaren Hall, and K.J. Osborn all subtracted from the equation certainly made things more challenging for Kevin O’Connell on offense. After all, those players were the RB2, QB1, and WR2 going into the Falcons game. Partnering those subtractions with the absence of Christian Darrisaw, Justin Jefferson, and Kirk Cousins — the clear-cut three most important players for O’Connell’s offense — made the Week 9 victory even more spectacular.
