Storylines

Will Reichard grades out as MIN's best

Will Reichard (K) is at 88 out of 100 through week 6 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 53, 19th of 32 — around the middle of the pack.

Strengths: special teams (3rd), linebackers (4th) and defense (5th).

Weaknesses: offensive line (32nd), tight ends (31st) and defensive line (30th).

Coaching: Kevin O'Connell lands about where his rosters' grades say he should, over 73 games, 21st in the league.

Offense — better on paper: The offense's players grade 54 out of 100, but on the field that side has played better than 14% of the league.

Defense — better on the field: On the field, the defense has played better than 95% of the league, ahead of a player grade of 57 out of 100.

This season: 5-0. Last time out, they beat New Orleans Saints 23-13.

Since preseason: Up 2.3 points since the preseason, mostly because its coach's record improved and its offense players graded down (Donovan Jackson −12 and Kyler Murray −8).

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
