The Vikings' depth chart heads into Week 7 against the Lions

The Minnesota Vikings go into their second division game, with the top of the NFC North up for grabs between them and the Lions. Detroit has had a complete dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys in front of its home crowd and is now hoping to play spoilsport in front of the Vikings fans.

Whether they can is another question.

Sam Darnold has been acting crazy lately. Can this continue? The emergence of players deep in the rankings, like Jalen Nailor and Blake Brandel, has led this team to perform at its best. It was also important to get players back from injury. Last week it was Jordan Addison, this week it will probably be Ivan Pace Jr.

These are just a few of the players and stories on the depth chart who are expected to see some playing time. Here are everyone else and where they stand in the table.
