1. Vikings: Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell, Kendall Wright, Jake Wieneke, Stacy Coley, Korey Robertson

The Lions top 3 may be the strongest, but the two best receivers in the division are likely Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. Diggs seems to have broken out into a household name and last year was the coming out party for Thielen. Many wonder if that was a fluke or not, but if you had watched the tape you would know that Adam Thielen is the real deal.

They may not have a strong third like Detroit, but they have enough options where they do not drag down the top two.

Treadwell is a former first-round pick who still has some believers. He is a strong wide receiver who lost most of his rookie year and is trying to get back on track in year three. However, it feels as though Kendall Wright, the Chicago Bears top wide receiver last season should step in as the number 3 in Minnesota.

Their bottom 3 are late-round or UDFA high upside bets. Still, there is enough upside here to easily push Minnesota’s corps into the top group of the division. It is tough to argue against the group with high-end talent, potential in the middle and upside in the back end.
