With the NFL leaning more towards the offense, let’s look at the NFC’s top 3 trios for skill position players which includes running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. With the NFC looking more and more packed with great teams by the day this will be a very tough list to make and especially leaving out some great trios who you’d think would have made the list a year ago.
- Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings are widely considered to be a top three team at the skill position, with Minnesota being so stacked on the offensive end it was no surprise that the Vikings are number one in the NFC. Starting with the wide receivers, Minnesota has arguably a top three wide receiver room in the NFC with superstar Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielan and newly traded for Jalen Reagor. Now at the running back position the Vikings have a very nice duo of Dalvin Cook who’s top ten at his position and Alexander Mattison who’s a great backup and could start for certain teams. At the tight end position you have Irv Smith Jr who is also a very young, high potential player at his position and is very capable of making a few pro bowls in his career.
- San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers are a very close number two team in terms of skill position players in the NFC with superstar receiver Deebo Samuel who also plays running back, Brandon Aiyuk who reportedly had a phenomenal training camp and newly drafted rookie Danny gray. The 49ers also have a top three tight end in the league in George Kittle and lastly the running back position in which the 49ers always seem to have good depth at the position in which they have Elijah Mitchell, Kyle Juszczyk and Jeff Wilson Jr.
- Los Angeles Rams
This was a tough decision but you had to go with the Los Angeles Rams due to the fact that they have such great wide receiver depth with all pro Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson ll, Van Jefferson and newly drafted rookie Lance McCutcheon. The Rams also have great depth at the running back position in Cam Akers and backup Darrell Henderson Jr, lastly the tight end position which is the weak link of this trio but Tyler Higbee is still capable of being a pro bowler any year and has really come into his own as of last year.
