Dallas @ Minnesota
Team Totals: Vikings 21, Cowboys 26.5
Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and J.J. McCarthy first shared the field in Week 9, and Jefferson’s 26.9% target share (to Addison’s 20.5%) in this stretch has resulted in 8.3 points weekly (WR55). As frustrating as it’s been, only the Jaguars have ceded more fantasy points to WRs from out wide than Dallas on the year, and Jefferson leads the team with five end-zone targets over the last month — peripherals that suggest starting him blindly. With only seven fewer receiving yards than his teammate (208-201) from McCarthy, Addison could just as easily out-score Jefferson as an environment-based WR3. … Jalen Nailor’s 19.5 yards per catch with McCarthy qualify him as a cheap single-game punt regardless of his usage. … Even in scoring a TD against Washington, T.J. Hockenson failed to reach double-digit fantasy points for the 10th outing (out of 13) this year. There’s no need to chase either him or Josh Oliver after the latter tacked on two TDs on only nine routes run.
