Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings will turn to rookie quarterback Kellen Mond in their preseason finale. Mond hasn't looked very impressive in his first two appearances this preseason. Minnesota drafted Mond in hopes that he would be the future of their franchise.
The Vikings backfield will most likely turn to Ameer Abdullah and A.J. Rose Jr. to split carries. Abdullah and Rose Jr. both split six carries apiece against the Colts in Week 2.
Minnesota will look to get more out of Chad Beebe, K.J. Osborn, Myron Mitchell and Whop Philyor. The Vikings haven't developed a passing attack and will need to improve it in Week 3 as we head into the regular season.
Kansas City Chiefs
According to Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs will play their starters for the entire first half. Patrick Mahomes will make another preseason start in hopes of continuing to build chemistry with his rebuilt offensive line.
With Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams dealing with injuries, the Chiefs will likely turn to Jerick McKinnon and Darwin Thompson to hold down the run game.
