Will the Vikings rest their starters vs. Lions in Week 17?

The 6-9 Vikings face off against the 5-10 Lions in a meaningless Week 17 game in Detroit on Sunday.

Lions starting quarterback Matthew Stafford will likely be held out with a foot injury, and it’s worth wondering if the Vikings will rest or player their starters in the game.

Dalvin Cook could break the team’s single-season rushing touchdown record, but is it worth risking his health?

The Vikings are currently slotted to draft 13th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, with some luck, the team could slide up into the top-10.

We’ll likely hear more throughout the week of practice on what coach Mike Zimmer, who is considered a coach on the hot seat, decides to do.
