The Vikings will be forced to start backup quarterback Carson Wentz in this week's contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may suffer.Opposing teams have averaged 34.5 pass attempts per game vs. the Bengals defense since the start of last season: 7th-most in football.The model projects Jordan Mason to accrue 3.8 targets in this game, on balance, putting him in the 92nd percentile among RBs.The leading projections forecast Jordan Mason to be a more important option in his offense's pass game in this week's game (11.2% projected Target Share) than he has been since the start of last season (4.6% in games he has played).
