5 highest graded Vikings from Week 6

Oliver was the highest-graded Viking, earning exceptional marks as a blocker. The tight end has firmly cemented himself as one of the best blocking tight ends in the league with his strong 2023 season. 

Oliver didn't factor into the passing game, but he doesn't need to when he's blocking like this. Oliver's strong play makes Alexander Mattison's lack of success even more frustrating. 

Christian Darrisaw is one of the best tackles in the league. Darrisaw has allowed just 1 sack and been called for just 2 penalties this season. 

On the year, Darrisaw has a stellar 86.2 grade. The Vikings have a star left tackle on their hands. 

This one may surprise some people. Cousins had the third-highest grade on the Vikings after completing 21/31 passes for 181 yards and 1 TD. 

It's not the sexiest stat line, but Cousins received a high grade thanks to his efficiency and lack of interceptions. It's interesting that Cousins' worst 2 performances of the season have both resulted in wins. 

The Vikings already have one elite tackle, how about another? O'Neill is the anchor of the line and a reliable veteran presence. 

Like Darrisaw, O'Neill has only been credited with giving up 1 sack. The one negative has been penalties, with the veteran being flagged 5 times thus far. 

Bullard is loved by Kevin O'Connell for his veteran leadership. Bullard has been a force on the field as well, grading as a very good run defender. 

Against the Bears, Bullard added 4 tackles to bring his season total to 15. The veteran has a respectable 69.1 grade on the season.
