Season so far
Will Fries has operated at a replacement level through two games, posting a 63.1 overall grade across 121 snaps for Minnesota. His play has been slightly stronger in the run game (64.9) than in pass protection (61.4), largely defined by clean execution of routine assignments. In Week 2, he showed dependable anchor against bull rushes and effective combo blocks, though he surrendered leverage on solo run-blocking reps. His grade regressed to a neutral 60.0 mark in Week 3, weighed down by struggles generating push against Vita Vea and a costly fourth-quarter holding penalty. Fries has provided baseline competence along the interior, but high-leverage lapses and solo matchup losses have capped his grades.
