Based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Minnesota Vikings to pass on 56.1% of their plays: the 11th-lowest rate among all teams this week.The Minnesota Vikings have played in the 3rd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which should result in reduced pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing attack results when facing windier conditions in this game.While T.J. Hockenson has accounted for 27.3% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the leading projections forecast him to be a less important option in Minnesota's passing offense near the goal line in this contest at 19.0%.T.J. Hockenson profiles as one of the worst possession receivers in football among tight ends, catching just 65.9% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) this year, ranking in the 21st percentile.
