Vikings

Since I live in Vikings country and have seen a good chunk of their games this year, I can give a bit of a scouting report -

- Beware of Thielen's circus catches, especially in the endzone. Take away the fade, make him beat you with another route
- If he plays, watch out for LB Kendricks. He is a big-time ball-hawk, tends to make athletic interceptions
- Ham is probably a top 5 fullback in the league and they like to get him some occasional touches
- The young corners, especially Dantzler, have been getting better as the season progresses. It's not the immediate area of weakness it was earlier in the year.
- Harrison Smith doesn't play in the box as much he used to and plays more single-high safety this year. If he's blitzing, it's usually a run blitz.
- Their kicker Bailey missed everything two weeks ago but recovered somewhat last week. I think it was totally mental, nothing physical, so it's too early to assume he's toast.
- The Vikings OL has played better this year and is not the Vikings achilles heel like recent seasons. The Vikings big weakness this year is lack of pass rush.
