Is the landscape of the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers changing?

Chad Beebe Shareef Miller Jersey , playing in his second NFL game, was active for 29 offensive snaps in Chicago — the same amount as former first-round pick Laquon Treadwell.Beebe ran 23 routes and caught his only target for an 18-yard gain in the fourth quarter. Treadwell, who ran 17 routes, was targeted four times and caught one pass for seven yards. He drew a pass interference call and the Bears intercepted a pass on two of his other targets.Now, the two receivers really play different positions — Beebe in the slot and Treadwell primarily on the outside. Giving Beebe snaps over Treadwell would mean Adam Thielen, who runs over 60 percent of his routes from the slot, would get more work on the outside.One thing is for certain: Beebe passed up Brandon Zylstra on the depth chart. Zylstra was on the field for one offensive play. The Vikings seem comfortable with the Minnesota native playing mostly special teams.<em>Other notes from Sunday’s snap counts:</em>— Aldrick Robinson was back to doing Aldrick Robinson things. He played in just nine snaps but caught two passes for 24 yards �? and a touchdown, of course. Four of Robinson’s nine catches this year are for scores.— Everson Griffen was on the field for 80 percent of the defensive snaps, his highest percentage of playing time since Week 2 against Green Bay.— Due to the Vikings abandoning the run early Zach Brown Jersey , Latavius Murray played in a season-low six snaps. He rushed four times for five yards.— Danielle Hunter was held without a sack for just the second time in 10 games. He was active in 84 percent of the snaps.— Ameer Abdullah was effective as a kick returner, averaging 28.5 yards per return in his Vikings debut. He was on the field for exactly one offensive snap and caught a pass from Kirk Cousins for a 10-yard gain.— Thielen played in 100 percent of the snaps for the second time this season.OFFENSEPLAYERPlays (67)%O’Neill67100%Elflein67100%Reiff67100%Cousins67100%Thielen67100%Remmers67100%Diggs6293%Rudolph6191%Cook5988%Compton3654%Isidora3146%Beebe2943%Treadwell2943%Conklin913%Robinson812%Murray69%Ham34%Zylstra11%Abdullah11%DEFENSEPLAYERPlays (74)%Harris74100%Kendricks74100%Smith74100%Rhodes6993%Waynes6689%Hunter6284%Griffen5980%Alexander5878%Wilson5676%Richardson5574%Joseph5270%Weatherly2635%T.

Now the Indianapolis Colts cornerback has a starting job and a lucrative new contract.Less than three years after entering the league as an undrafted rookie, Moore was rewarded by the Colts with a four-year deal that will keep their top three cornerbacks together through 2021.Financial details were not immediately available, but NFL Network reported the deal would make Moore the league’s highest-paid slot cornerback.“There’s a lot of odds against you, but its possible (to make it),” he said Friday after the team’s final offseason workout. “They believe in me.”It’s a remarkable ascension for Moore, who didn’t play high school football until his senior year. That came at the urging of a friend, who lost his starting job when he was booted off the team. Moore considered joining the Air Force after high school, but played at his hometown college of Valdosta State in Georgia. He appeared in 46 games Devin Bush Jersey , including 10 as a freshman.But at 5-foot-9 Moore was overlooked by NFL scouts.Instead, he signed with New England as an undrafted rookie in May 2017, was released during September’s final cutdown and claimed by the Colts off waivers the next day — after a team scout convinced general manager Chris Ballard that Moore’s long arms made up for his lack of height.He made an immediate impression.Moore recorded 37 tackles in 16 games as a rookie. Last season, he won the starting job, led the team with three interceptions and finished fifth with 77 tackles.That was all Ballard and coach Frank Reich needed to see.“Kenny is the consummate pro,” Reich said. “It’s not only a high level of play, it’s the consistency of play that I really think he embodies. We saw his play-making ability last year on the ball, sack, blitzer Diontae Johnson Jersey , but just really the way he brings that energy every day out at practice. And in the community, he’s a leader.”Moore could’ve become a restricted free agent in March, but apparently Ballard didn’t want to take the risk.So he stuck to his philosophy of re-signing Colts players’ first, even after using a second-round draft pick on cornerback Rock Ya-Sin in April. Ballard has given three players — Moore, punter Rigoberto Sanchez and long snapper Luke Rhodes — contract extensions during the last week.“He has made it clear that those three guys are what being a Colt is all about,” Reich said. “I’m so excited for them. I think that sends the right message. Those are the kinds of guys you want around for the long term.”Keeping Moore should give the secondary some long-term continuity.Pierre Desir, the other starting cornerback, signed a three-year deal in March, Ya-Sin already has signed his three-year rookie contract and Moore has his big deal Justin Layne Jersey , too.“Along the process, I grew a passion for (football), I grew a love for it,” he said. “I learned how to believe in myself, to trust myself, in my own ability.”
