Head Coach: Mike Zimmer

Zimmer has been head coach of the Minnesota Vikings since 2014 - and the team has been competitive in each season. A defensive coach, Zimmer has built a fearsome unit in Minnesota as the Vikings have consistently drafted some fantastic players on defense. In a competitive NFC North, three of the teams are of very similar quality: can Zimmer take the Vikings back to the postseason? He’s won the division twice, and his side are strong enough to do it again in 2019.

Offensive Player to Watch: Stefon Diggs

Minnesota are blessed when it comes to wide receiver, as they can pair Adam Thielen with Diggs. 2018 was the breakout year for Thielen - the entire league took notice when he tied Calvin Johnson’s record of eight straight games with over 100 yards receiving - whilst it was also Diggs’ best ever year. The receiver out of Maryland was good for 1,021 yards receiving and nine touchdowns last season, and is set to step up in 2019.
