The Minnesota Vikings will be forced to use backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs in this game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.The model projects the Vikings to be the 6th-most pass-focused team among all teams this week with a 60.7% pass rate, given their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while rush volume may fall-off.The projections expect Justin Jefferson to total 9.3 targets in this contest, on balance, placing him in the 92nd percentile when it comes to wide receivers.Justin Jefferson has been a key part of his team's passing offense, earning a Target Share of 27.1% this year, which ranks in the 93rd percentile among wideouts.
