Shaun Hill

It all comes down to how well Sam Bradford can pick up the playbook and Norv Turner's offense. Bradford only had the playbook for eight days prior to Week 1 and Zimmer felt that he needed more work before throwing him out there. He'll definitely be taking a major share of first-team snaps this week, so while Hill is still listed atop the team's depth chart, the Vikings would like to get Bradford under center as quickly as possible. Should Hill start in Week 2, he's going to need to look a lot better in the passing game facing division rival Green Bay.

Since the Vikings just acquired Sam Bradford, they don't want to rush him into anything without a full grasp of the playbook. Hill has even with the team all preseason so he's the best fit for Week 1. Hill isn't much of a fantasy option as he'll be handing the ball off to Adrian "All Day" Peterson for most of the afternoon.

The Vikings won’t play many of their starters in the fourth preseason game and due to Teddy Bridgewater’s injury; Hill is now the starting quarterback. Hill didn’t play much in the third preseason game so the Vikings are trusting the veteran knows how to get ready for the season without getting a true game to prepare for Week 1.

It's a nice sum for Hill who will now serve as a back-up and potential mentor for starter Teddy Bridgewater. Hill won;t see the field unless thre's a major injury.
