Summary

The Vikings continue to be a team that does well against the rush (11th) but struggle stopping the pass (26th). This trend is like to continue for this season. The Vikings still have some beef up front to stop the run but lack some top corners in the secondary although the additions of rookies Harrison Smith and Josh Robinson should help this area some. The main strength of the team remains the pass rush, mainly because of Jared Allen, who remains one of the best in the game. The Vikings had 50 sacks last season, which tied for the league lead. Expect more of the same this year. Special teams can be solid when Percy Harvin is returning kicks, but he doesn't always get that assignment. When he does, though, big things can happen.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Vikings are a decent fantasy starter because of their sack potential. If the secondary can make some strides and create a few more turnovers, this unit can be a top fantasy defense. We just aren't sure the secondary will be much better, though, especially if you consider the division they play. For now, take them as a low-end No. 1 and hope for the best.

Minnesota Vikings C John Sullivan (ankle) signed a five-year, $25.1 million contract extension in December 2011, and he erased any doubt in 2012 when he ascended among the NFL's elite centers. He played all 1,097 snaps despite battling an ankle injury which hampered him early in the season. He developed into a leader, and just missed out on a Pro Bowl selection and a $500,000 escalator as a result. Sullivan and OT Matt Kalil are expected to be fixtures for many years to come.
