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.Our trusted projections expect T.J. Hockenson to earn 8.3 targets in this week's game, on balance, ranking him in the 99th percentile when it comes to TEs.T.J. Hockenson's 54.4 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that examines high-value offensive volume) has been significantly better this year than it was last year at 43.5.
