Jordan Addison may also benefit from Wentz starting at least one more game as he has been productive in two games since returning to the lineup. He has recorded consecutive WR20 finishes, despite Jefferson's massive workload. Another strong perfromance ould be in line against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are allowing the seventh-most yard per game to wide receivers.

Jordan Mason is another player to target from this matchup against a weak Eagles rushing defense. They are allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game, so Mason should be busy as he continues to fill in for the injured Aaron Jones. He has totaled 51 touches across the past three weeks and has been heavily featured in the Vikings' backfield with no real threats to his workload.
