He has been targeted 12 times from inside the 20, placing him inside the top 25 in the league in that category.

Minnesota has allowed its opponents to cross the goal line first in four games this season. Overall, the Vikings give up 1.3 passing touchdowns per game through their 12 contests. At least one wide receiver has found the end zone in three of the last five weeks against them.
