The Minnesota Vikings bounced back with a good win and Sam Darnold played one of his better games of the year. Each year around the NFL, rookies step up immediately for their teams and make a difference.
Jordan Addison scored a touchdown in Week 1 last year for Vikings fans. This year, we saw Xavier Worthy score two touchdowns on opening night. Rookies impact the league every year, and the Vikings need to keep hitting on their first-round picks. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah had a rough first two rounds in 2022, but 2023 and 2024 have looked good thus far.
Here are some players to watch this weekend before the Vikings kickoff while you enjoy some college football. We will lay out the ultimate viewing guide to maximize the best players this weekend during each time slot.
