Vikings' Inconsistent Offense Needs Diggs

Minnesota's offense has been plagued with physical setbacks this season, and this is just the latest one. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was lost for the year before the schedule started, running back Adrian Peterson tore his meniscus in Week 2 and Diggs suffered a groin injury earlier in the year.

Diggs is one of the best playmakers on the team. He tallied 720 receiving yards and four touchdown catches last year as a rookie and has 67 receptions for 747 yards and two touchdowns this year.

He can contribute on special teams if needed and brings dynamic shiftiness and athleticism to the open field, which allows him to miss tackles and serve as a threat to score anytime he gets his hands on the ball.
