Danielle Hunter primed to thrive in Vikings' defense

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter "could be in line for bigger things" this season.

What It Means:

Hunter managed six sacks across just 426 defensive snaps as a third-round rookie last season and also played top-notch run defense. Brian Robison is going into his age-33 season and has been in decline for years, so Hunter could play even more opposite starting weak-side end Everson Griffen.

It all comes down to playing time, though. Our algorithms project Hunter for just 11.54 tackles and 1.98 sacks in 2016.
