The Facts: For many, Bridgewater is a low-ceiling game manager without the tools to vault into the top 10 among NFL signal-callers. The theory follows that if Bridgewater never leaps into the upper echelon, neither will Minnesota. HC Mike Zimmer, however, doesn't buy into that notion. "The thing about Teddy, and everybody talks about this and talks about that -- he knows how to win, and what else is there with the quarterback?" Zimmer said. "I'm not going to mention names, but there's a bunch of quarterbacks throwing for 300 yards and their team doesn't win."

Diehards Line: Zimmer continued: "It's just so fantasy football now. Our team is built a certain way, and that's how we're going to play. That's just how we are and who we're going to be, and I'm not going to apologize for it." As NFL.com notes, the Vikings will remain a run-first team, as long as Adrian Peterson's wheels still work. Yet with an improved passing corps thanks to the addition of rookie Laquon Treadwell, the Vikings' air attack is ready to perk up. Zimmer believes that in his third season, Bridgewater's metal acumen will begin to outweigh any physical deficits. That said, the Vikings won't put the entire offense on Bridgewater's back anytime soon. Still, Zimmer believes there's more upside to his quarterback than meets the eye -- regardless of what round he's drafted in your fantasy football league.
