4. Vikings receivers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals are another team that has a relatively week secondary. Chidobe Awuzie, Trae Waynes, and Eli Apple man the corner spots. These three corners have bounced around from several teams and are average starters at this point in their careers.

This is great news for Minnesota receivers Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.

Jefferson broke out onto the scene last season, having one of the greatest rookie seasons of any receiver. Thielen, meanwhile, continued his consistency and has a nose for the end zone.

These two will both be salivating at the matchup ahead of them. The Bengals gave up an average quarterback rating of 96.1 in 2020, which was 11th-worst in the league.

Both Minnesota wideouts should be in your lineup come Week 1.
