Where are the Vikings in the latest batch of ESPN power rankings?
ESPN does not hold the Vikings in high regard according to their power rankings.
In the latest ESPN power rankings, the Minnesota Vikings are currently placed at 22nd in the NFC North. The preseason and offseason have concluded, and the 53-man roster is set as coaches prepare for the first week of games. ESPN's group of beat writers have ranked the Vikings based on their performance and expectations for the upcoming season.
The NFC North standings currently have the Green Bay Packers leading at 7th, followed by the Detroit Lions at 11th and the Chicago Bears at 12th. For the Vikings, the challenge of climbing the rankings is significant, but they have a potential advantage with their Week 1 matchup against the Packers. A victory against a top-10 ranked team could help propel the Vikings further up the standings, possibly even surpassing the Bears or Lions if one of them were to lose.
