Viking Player Exceeding Expectation
Week 1....
I have to go with Josh Kline. Very solid addition. I underestimated him a bit. Not a world-beater but a big upgrade from Compton.
Jayron was all over the field on special teams, in the slot, in the NASCAR, and at WLB.
I'm pleased to see him finally hitting his massive potential.
Easy one is Harris. I liked him and expected good things from him as a starter. But both INTs were excellent plays by him. Reading his responsibility that stayed in to block and then reading the eyes of the QB and making that INT in front of Jones who is a strong WR. Then boxing out the TE and making him stop his route only to run the route for him and leap for the 2nd one.
Both were fundamentally sound coverage followed by a great play to rip the heart out of the Atlanta offense.
Like Sticky, I went with Kline. I really thought he'd be the sore thumb but it was Dark Elf that I kept seeing miss his assignment on the move. Kline has started as many games as he has because he's pretty consistently League Average (minus last year). But he looked above average and that was a pleasant surprise.
We've seen what Harris can do and he easily gets the game ball along with Cook but this poll was about exceeding expectations thus Kline by far gets my vote. He looked decent on a new look line with question marks all around him. Kudos to the Vikings for bring him in. Hopefully this is just one of many where he plays average or even above.

so you expected Harris to get 3 TOs
Kline. A bright light on a previously dismal unit. Harris was outstanding, but he's back there with Harry and Rhodes.
