Storylines

Jalen Redmond grades out as MIN's best

Jalen Redmond (DL) sits at 74 out of 100 for 2025 — a percentile against every other player at that position, built from charted performance rather than raw totals.

Where They Stand

A 58.8 puts the Minnesota Vikings 14th in the league, in the playoff-calibre band. Strength and weakness sit far apart here: pass rush 76, offensive line 21. The NFC North grades 58.2, 1st of the eight divisions — there is nowhere easy to hide in it. The last 5 have all gone their way, average margin 10.8. Their last three: W 39-22 vs Green Bay Packers, W 16-3 vs Green Bay Packers, W 23-10 vs Detroit Lions. Head coach Kevin O'Connell is 1-0 this season and running 18.8 points above what this roster's own grades would predict — real evidence of coaching value, not just talent.

They make the field in 59% of simulated seasons — favoured, but not safely. Projected record 9.5-7.5; they take the division in 24% of runs.

Written from this club's own stored numbers — its Power Rating and the parts that make it up, its last five games, its division, its remaining schedule and its depth chart. Which facts appear depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. Deterministic, not written by a language model: the site builds where no local model exists and cloud inference is ruled out.
