Trevor Lawrence is the next big thing; Patriots, Colts suffer meltdowns: NFL notes and analysis
Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert starred at the quarterback position in Week 15, while the Colts and Patriots imploded.DECEMBER 19, 2022
Jalen Reagor - No catches on two targets Reagor didn't have a reception on two targets and had one carry for a five-yard loss in Saturday's overtime win over Indianapolis. He had three punt returns for 13 yards.
Impact Both of Reagor's targets turned into interceptions as he may have run routes incorrectly that led to turnovers. He's mostly been used on gadget plays when on offense, so Saturday's performance in the passing game may not bode well for more playing time if injuries strike the receiving corps. Reagor is still the team's primary punt returner.

Eric Kendricks - Dealing with bruise on leg Kendricks suffered a contusion on his lower leg in Saturday's win over the Colts, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Kendricks played 94 percent of Minnesota's snaps in the 39-36 overtime win, so he was able to play through the bruise. His practice participation will be worth monitoring as the Vikings prepare to host the Giants on Saturday.

Justin Jefferson - No injury concerns Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expects Jefferson (ribs/chest) to practice throughout the week as the Vikings prepare to face the Giants on Saturday, Ben Goessling of the...
Impact Jefferson got banged up in the Week 15 win over the Colts but continued playing after being checked out on the sideline. The star wide receiver isn't in danger of sitting out Saturday's game due to this latest bruise, but defenses will likely continue to play physically against Jefferson moving forward.

Alexander Mattison - Two touches in Week 15 Mattison rushed twice for one yard and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.
Impact Minnesota didn't find many touches for Mattison while a healthy and effective Dalvin Cook played a key role in the team's historic comeback from a 33-point deficit. Cook totaled 190 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 21 touches. With the 49ers hot on Minnesota's heels for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, the Vikings many need to keep riding Cook through the remainder of the season, leaving Mattison stapled to the bench for the majority of snaps.

Harrison Phillips - Career-high 10 stops in win Phillips recorded 10 tackles (four solo) during Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.
Impact Phillips, who entered Saturday's contest versus Indianapolis with a questionable tag due to a back issue, logged the first double-digit tackling performance of his career while playing 59 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 26-year-old now has a new career-high 54 stops on the season, and he'll likely retain his starting defensive tackle role when Minnesota hosts the Giants in Week 16.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Danielle Hunter - Logs 1.5 sacks in win Hunter recorded five tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks during Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.
Impact Hunter, who entered Saturday's contest versus Indianapolis with a questionable tag due to a neck issue, ultimately played a season-high 73 defensive snaps and surpassed eight sacks on the campaign. The veteran pass rusher should continue playing a prominent role on Minnesota's defense when the team hosts the Giants next weekend.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Kendricks - Finally gets sack Kendricks recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) and one sack during Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.
Impact Kendricks, who played 94 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps this past weekend versus Indianapolis, logged a game-high 12 stops and also collected his first sack of the 2022-23 campaign. The former All-Pro now has a team-leading 119 tackles through Week 15 of this season, and he'll likely play a huge part in attempting to contain Saquon Barkley when the Vikings host the Giants on Saturday.
