5 key players to watch for 49ers vs. Vikings Week 7 game
QB Brock Purdy, 49ers: The matchup against the historically solid Cleveland D was Purdy’s worst game of his young career. But if he wants to continue proving he’s elite, how he responds against Minnesota will be key. He will need to stand out under the lights, although it may depend on the health of players like McCaffrey and Samuel.
WR Jordan Addison, KJ Osborn, Vikings: With Justin Jefferson on injured reserve, the next member of Minnesota’s roster is Justin Jefferson. Addison and Osborn will need to power Kirk Cousins with their speed, and tight end TJ Hockenson will be just as important moving forward in the passing attack.
RB Elijah Mitchell, Jordan Mason, 49ers: Regardless of whether McCaffrey is sidelined or limited, both Mitchell and Mason will have a chance to earn the RB2 spot. Mitchell has been a key player the past two years, but injuries have hampered him. Mason looked sharper and more agile, but both should be more than enough for the 49ers to survive without their star player returning. Let’s see if they’re up for it.
DE Daniel Hunter, Vikings: Hunter could be a top trade candidate thanks to his eight-sack start this season. The 49ers’ offensive line, despite its success in recent weeks, struggled against Cleveland, so Hunter will be important for Minnesota in getting Purdy out of his comfort zone.
DE Randy Gregory, 49ers: Gregory’s 49ers debut gave a lot of optimism for his role going forward. The 30-year-old had three solo tackles (two for loss), one sack for a loss of seven yards, and three QB hits. The 49ers’ usually solid defensive line has not lived up to the hype through six weeks, but the addition of Gregory could give the unit a boost.
