Vikings Depth Chart — Week 18 at Bears

|
Here’s the Vikings Depth Chart — Week 18 at Bears, with Sunday’s game three days away.
The Minnesota Vikings are 7.5-point favorites on the road this weekend at the Chicago Bears. Minnesota clinched the NFC North three weeks ago after a for-the-ages comeback versus the Indianapolis Colts. Chicago is 3-13, undergoing a full transformational season, and should be concerned with its 2023 draft pick.
The Vikings have won two consecutive games at Soldier Field, a venue that usually spells trouble for Minnesota (in the last two decades, anyway).
The Vikings injury report actually looks pretty decent as of Wednesday, and head coach Kevin O’Connell claims he “plans to play” starters.
