The leading projections forecast the Minnesota Vikings offense to be the 8th-quickest paced team in the league (context-neutralized) right now, averaging 26.89 seconds per play.
The predictive model expects Ty Chandler to accrue 14.5 carries this week, on balance, ranking him in the 84th percentile when it comes to RBs.
The model projects Ty Chandler to be a more important option in his team’s ground game this week (58.2% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (22.7% in games he has played).
This year, the fierce Cincinnati Bengals run defense has given up a feeble 4.69 adjusted yards-per-carry to the opposition’s rushing attack: the 25th-best rate in the NFL.
Cons
The Vikings are a 3-point underdog in this week’s game, indicating a passing game script.
The model projects the Minnesota Vikings as the 6th-least run-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 38.7% run rate, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.
When it comes to the defensive tackles’ role in defending against the run, Cincinnati’s DT corps has been very good this year, ranking as the 6th-best in football.
