Michael Floyd, where art thou?

who?

Only so many targets to go around...  especially when Thielen, Diggs, Rudolph, and McKinnon have gobbled up 75% of the team's targets this season.  That only leaves about 8 targets per game to get divvied up between Treadwell, Floyd, Murray, Morgan, and Wright...

Personally, I think Wright is better than both Treadwell and Floyd.  Wright has been clutch on a few 3rd downs these past few games.

Saving his packages for the playoffs.  Nothing on film up to that point.

1st World Problem. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have no WRs at all.

Andy Reid and Brad Childress don't believe in WR's, TO and Moss hurt their feelings....

Back to the OP:

We have not needed any of the 3 other WR's to step up with the way the offense has been humming.  With the exception of a few clutch first downs from Wright in the slot.  Treadwell and Floyd play outside and have not even been targeted much at all because the first two reads have been open.  

With Diggs and Thielen playing better than any other combo in the league, he's not going to get many opportunities. Same with Treadwell. It's a bit of a head scratcher that folks go on and on about how great this duo is and then wonder why we're not seeing our other receivers. 

If Thielen and Diggs went down, you would see Floyd and Treadwell...a lot.  I like the way this team is built with depth at multiple levels...OL, DBs, DL...and WR.  Based on past history, what are the chances of the Vikings going through a full season without major contributors getting injured?  Close to zero (Bradford/Cook, case in point).  But if Thielen and Diggs and Rudolph stay healthy...we have an embarrassment of riches at WR (in addition to QB).  Thanks Rick.
