Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones rushed five times for 22 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals -- adding another six yards and a touchdown on 3-of-4 receiving. He'd also fumble twice, losing one of them. It wasn't the 29-year-old's most memorable performance, as he easily set new lows in rushing and receiving while matching his fewest touch count of the season. Jones also fumbled on the first play of each of the Vikings' first two possessions -- his third straight game with a fumble. However, he'd somewhat save his day with a late five-yard touchdown grab that ultimately sealed the victory for his squad. The eighth-year back will get a chance to redeem himself next Sunday when he lines up against the visiting Atlanta Falcons.



Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 7-of-9 targets for 99 yards in his team's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. The fifth-year wideout was held to just two receptions and 32 yards during the first two frames as Minnesota's drives stalled near Arizona's red zone. He came alive in the second half, though, commanding another seven targets and drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty. His highlight of the day was a 30-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter that put him over 1,000 yards on the season -- making him just the fourth player in NFL history to amass at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first five seasons. Incredible. Jefferson has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 14. He'll get an Atlanta Falcons squad that gave up an average of 38.3 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position heading into this weekend -- the fifth-most in the NFL.



Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson could again be in store for a productive day this weekend when his team hosts the visiting Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old now has two excellent and two subpar outings in his first stretch back from a devastating knee injury. Hockenson has combined for 15 receptions and 186 yards on 18 targets in the former. However, he has just five receptions and 40 yards in the other two. The one clear difference between his appearance against the Bears in Week 12 and the other three is his snap share, which skyrocketed to 68% after hovering around 46% previously. This was due to teammate Josh Oliver (hand) being ruled out for the contest, but that will again be the case this Sunday when he lines up against the Cardinals. With increasing involvement in the offense, he can again be trusted as a top fantasy option at his position. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE6 for this week's slate of games.



Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor is not a recommended option in Week 13 when his team faces off against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year wideout got back in the end zone in Minnesota's OT victory over the Chicago Bears -; his fifth score of the season. However, Nailor has not hauled in more than one pass or garnered greater than four targets but once since Week 8. While two of his five catches in that span found pay dirt, he's combined for 39 yards over the last five games. The 25-year-old has flashed upside at points during the year, but as no better than the fourth option on his team in the pecking order, he'll be difficult to trust as a lineup fixture. Nailor is RotoBaller's PPR WR87 in this week's rankings.



Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is set for another difficult outing this Sunday when his team hosts the visiting Arizona Cardinals. The USC product is coming off a career day where he racked up eight receptions, 162 yards, and a touchdown on nine targets against a solid Chicago Bears defense. Arizona provides stiff competition on the back end, but Addison's outlook is on the rise after four straight games with an elevated target share. It's worth noting that his production has come at the expense of superstar teammate Justin Jefferson. We've yet to see the duo go off in the same game, though quarterback Sam Darnold did support tight end T.J. Hockenson's valuable outing (7/114) in the Week 12 win. With Darnold and Minnesota's offense back on track, the 22-year-old becomes a more intriguing option, considering the rise in his usage. Addison is RotoBaller's PPR WR41 ahead of Week 13's slate.
