Minnesota Vikings RB RolesLast Update: 3/21/2024
RB Overview
Role Security: High
03/20/24 Aaron Jones is expected to be the lead back. It's possible that Jones sees significant work on passing downs and near the goal line. Ty Chandler is expected to see change-of-pace carries. Chandler also has the ability to handle work on passing downs and in the red zone. Kene Nwangwu is unlikely to see many touches unless either Jones or chandler miss time.
WR Overview
03/20/24 Justin Jefferson is the lead receiver. It's possible he challenges for the league lead in targets. Jordan Addison is the No. 2. Addison will see significant target volume, though weekly consistency could be an issue. Brandon Powell and Trent Sherfield will compete for the No. 3 role during training camp.
TE Overview
03/20/24 T.J. Hockenson tore his ACL in December but didn't have surgery until late January (2024). As a result, Hockenson could miss time during the season. If he misses time, Johnny Mundt and Josh Oliver will both see targets. However, the overall volume of targets that went to Hockenson will be drastically lower if Mundt and Oliver take over.
