- Oli starting at RG over Dozier

Well that's good news! It seems like they've finally noticed that Dozier has been struggling in practice.

Weatherly starting at DE over Wonnum, Mata'Afa, Holmes, Jones II
- Vigil as LB3
- Breeland over Dantzer

These aren't surprising, as Weatherly, Vigil, and Breeland have all been hogging most of the reps with the 1s.

Not sure what to make of the backup "order", as in I'm not sure if the order listed means that's the depth chart. For example, at WR they have the backups listed in this order: KJ Osborn & Chad Beebe, Westbrook, Smith-Marsette and Proehl; Chisena, Whop, Myron Mitchell, Warren Jackson. Does that indicate that Beebe is WR4? Not 100% sure, but I don't know why I keep Beebe as WR4 when Westbrook and ISM are the same thing but probably offer more value on as a WR and on ST.

I think if they have the "and" between them, they're on equal footing. Westbrook has only been returning punts and hasn't played WR yet due to his ACL tear, so that likely explains his placement.

Oli over Dozier is good news. Interior pass protection is likely to be improved this year as Cleveland improves and Oli is an upgrade over Dozier. If Cousins has time on 3rd down, the Vikings are dangerous on offense. Not many teams have the skills the Vikings have at RB, WR, TE, FB, and QB. With time and good offensive play calling, the Vikings will convert more 3rd and long situations. They will win more close games with better pass protection. Let's hope that the line's pass protection is improved.

We hear about the Dozier/Udoh battle but nothing on Cleveland?

Not only were Elflein, Samia and Dozier poor in pass pro they were smaller interior O-linemen. Look no further than the Quentin Nelsons, Brandon Brooks and Rodger Saffolds of the NFL. Not only are Cleveland and Oli bigger but they apparently are better in pass pro this early in their careers than what we've had out there lately. Any improvement in this area will help keep the chains moving IMO and allow our skill players more touches of the ball.

Thanks for posting. I hadn't looked at one of these for a while but had to look to find out who the heck some of the names were that I saw in yesterday's stats. I'll be able to watch the replay on NFL network tomorrow.

Have you always had the "abysmal" category, or did you have to add that specifically for Samia? Also, I think we now have enough info on Browning, and would consider a Samia-esque rating for him as well.

Correct, it was added specifically for Samia! PFF never had an equivalent for "Elite" so I added it myself. *poop*

The ratings are added once the player has played at least 300-400 snaps in the regular season, hence why Browning is still at Not Enough Info.

Look at that reserve list! We're down to 49 players on the 53 man roster. Yikes.

Pre Week 12 Update:

The roster is back up to 52 men, but with Griffen likely out and Tomlinson on the COVID list, the DL is running on fumes. That's not good vs a 49ers team with a strong OL and a love for running the ball.

Pre Week 13 Depth Chart:

RB Cook from Great to Above Average
RB Mattison from Above Average to Average
C Cole from Poor to Below Average
FB Ham from Average to Above Average
WR Osborn from Not Enough Info to Below Average

PFF hates our RBs for some reason, and they also don't like Osborn now that he's cooled off. But finally, they've warmed up to Ham. Hooray.
