Stat Monsters: Minnesota Leaders After Week 2 (O)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, I wanted to highlight those who have stood out statistically this season, particularly offensive players. To qualify one must have their stats entered on the MNFootballHub which is run by the Star Tribune. The stats need to be entered by the following Monday by 8 AM. The top three in each category will be listed, and in the event of a tie in any statistical category, all of those who would qualify for the top 3 will be listed. Please enjoy the standouts through the first 1/4 of the season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Passing:</strong></p> <!--
