1. Stefon Diggs, wide receiver

The Vikings have two of the best receivers in the entire NFL nestled on their roster simultaneously. What’s been bad news for them and hopefully good news for Philly is this. For whatever reason, the Vikings have run into a little bit of trouble trying to get both of them involved in the offense.

So far this season, Stefon Diggs has 16 receptions for 253 yards and a single touchdown on his resume. There have been rumors about his displeasure and desire to be traded for a couple of weeks, rumors that Diggs denies. There’s just one issue. If anyone can help the Vikings fix their issues at wide receiver, it’s that Philly secondary. Every Eagles fan should hope that doesn’t happen.

2. Adam Thielen, wide receiver

Adam Thielen is the other half of Minnesota’s super duo at wide receiver. Kirk Cousins had a few issues getting him the ball over the first four games of the season before the two found some chemistry and hooked up seven times for 130 yards and two touchdowns versus the New York Giants.

If you’re an Eagles fan, you have to hope that was an anomaly.
