The Vikings offense is loaded in every way, at every position. Of course, with a high-powered offense like the Vikings', they come with some notable fantasy football assets.
During the 2026 season here on Vikings Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at the running backs in the Vikings backfield.
Heading into Week 1, the team has a split backfield in at least two pieces, perhaps even three. With so much uncertainty, we are advising you to stay away from the group. Perhaps someone can emerge as a favorite in passing downs or goal-line
situations to help us in Week 2. But losing a critical spot in your lineup is not worth the potential for a home run hit.
We need to see a backfield split, we need to see how folks are used in situations, and you should too.
