Surprising 2025 Vikings fantasy prediction could define the year
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason Right after last year's playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell promised a general shift toward being a more physical football team. That was in large part paid off with a reconstruction of the interior offensive line.
