Our trusted projections expect the Minnesota Vikings to be the 5th-most pass-oriented team among all teams this week with a 61.6% pass rate, based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.
Based on their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Minnesota Vikings are expected by the model to run 64.4 plays on offense in this game: the 8th-highest number on the slate this week.
The Chicago Bears defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, eliciting opposing offenses to attempt the 8th-most passes in the NFL (38.4 per game) this year.
In this contest, Jordan Addison is predicted by the model to rank in the 87th percentile when it comes to wide receivers with 8.2 targets.
The model projects Jordan Addison to be much less involved in his offense’s pass attack in this week’s game (7.6% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (14.1% in games he has played).
Cons
