Vikings Depth Chart Ahead of Week 16 vs. Rams
The Minnesota Vikings are three-point underdogs at home versus the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
The Vikings must win two out of their final three games — and maybe all three — if they hope to see postseason action. On the other hand, the Rams are a lock for the postseason, nipping at the heels of the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC West crown.
Also, here is the injury report — Adam Thielen and C.J. Ham are questionable.
