The Buffalo Bills are back in primetime as they will take on the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, and will look to get to 7-1 on the season.
One of the biggest storylines heading into this game is the Bills' phenomenal offense (averaging 33.3 points per game) facing the Vikings' excellent defense (allowing just 13.3 points per game).
Then you have the Bills' defense up against the Vikings' offense, both who are some of the worst in the league. However, Buffalo's defense had a confidence boost performance from Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. As for Minnesota's offense, they are turning towards Carson Wentz with Kyler Murray being out with hamstring soreness. However, that may not be the only notable change that the Vikings could make for Monday night.
Vikings may activate WR Odell Beckham Jr. to roster for MNF (but Bills fans shouldn't worry)
According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert who covers the Vikings, head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the Vikings are "working through whether Odell Beckham Jr. will be active Monday night."

Beckham started out the season with the New York Giants in a homecoming return for him after being drafted there. However, he suited up for just 3 games and didn't record a single catch. The Giants released him, and he ended up signing with the Vikings' practice squad soon after.
With Jauan Jennings being ruled out already, there is a chance that Beckham could suit up for the first time as a member of the Vikings...but Bills fans shouldn't be concerned at all.
Odell Beckham Jr. should not worry Bills fans if he plays on MNF
The last time that Beckham went for over 1,000+ yards in a season was in 2019 when he was with the Cleveland Browns. Since then, he has played with the Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore Ravens, and Miami Dolphins. While he helped the Rams win a Super Bowl in 2021, he tore his ACL in that game and he has not been the same player he once was.
Early on in his career, Beckham was one of the better receivers by far when he was with the Giants. He had 3 consecutive 1,300+ yard seasons which included atleast 10+ touchdowns in each of those seasons. However, that's not who he is anymore.
Since the 2023 season, Beckham has just 620 yards and 3 touchdowns. He is way past his prime and with the Vikings' offense being one of the worst, Beckham Jr. is not the answer to provide a spark for them.
Again, we don't officially know if Beckham will suit up. Although if he does, there's no need for Bills Mafia to panic.
