Joshua Dobbs - Strong in first start with Vikings Dobbs completed 23 of 34 passes for 268 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints. He added eight rushes for 44 yards and an additional score.
Impact Dobbs began the game on fire and had 260 total yards to go with two scores in the first half. His first trip to the end zone came on the ground, as he ran in a score from seven yards away. He followed that up by running a perfect two-minute drill, which he capped by finding T.J. Hockenson for a 28-yard touchdown. The Vikings took their foot off the gas in the final two quarters and coasted to victory, but Dobbs has a positive outlook for the final half of the season -- particularly once Justin Jefferson (hamstring) can return.

T.J. Hockenson - Racks up 134 yards Hockenson recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.
Impact Hockenson was Joshua Dobbs' favorite target, and he commanded double-digit opportunities for the third time in four games. Typically utilized near the line of scrimmage, this game stood out for Hockenson due to his work down the field, as he tallied three receptions of more than 20 yards -- highlighted by a 28-yard touchdown just before halftime. While it was an excellent performance, he is likely to have more target competition soon with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) nearing a return from injured reserve.

Brandon Powell - Role should increase Powell looks set for a larger workload with K.J. Osborn (concussion) inactive and Justin Jefferson not activated from IR, Will Ragatz of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Powell played a season-high 51 snaps last week after Osborn was injured. He should start opposite Jordan Addison and could see more than the three targets he had last week. Trishton Jackson could also see an increased workload.

T.J. Hockenson - Playing Sunday, but may be limited Hockenson (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Hockenson gutted out a rib injury last Sunday in Atlanta, but he still played 85 percent of snaps and gathered in seven of 12 targets for 69 yards and no touchdowns. He proceeded to be a limited practice participant during the entirety of Week 10 prep, and while he's suiting up this Sunday, there's an expectation that he won't receive his typical workload, per Ed Werder of ESPN. With Hockenson handling fewer snaps than normal and WRs Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and K.J. Osborn (concussion) unavailable, rookie wideout Jordan Addison should be on the receiving end of plenty of passes from quarterback Joshua Dobbs, while Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt are the available tight ends not named Hockenson.

K.J. Osborn - Sitting out Sunday Osborn (concussion) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Saints.
Impact Osborn was knocked out of last Sunday's game in Atlanta due to a concussion, but he made quick progress through the protocol for head injuries this week, getting back to all activity Friday before gaining clearance from an independent neurologist Saturday. Still, both the wide receiver and team itself are deciding to exercise caution and not rush him back considering he remained motionless on the field after the helmet-to-helmet hit that caused the concussion. With Osborn sidelined, Justin Jefferson (hamstring) still on injured reserve, and tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) expected to take on less work than normal, rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison should be targeted early and often by quarterback Joshua Dobbs, with Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson, N'Keal Harry and Jalen Nailor the other options at wide receiver for Minnesota.

T.J. Hockenson - May be limited Sunday Hockenson (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, and while he's expected to be active for the contest, the tight end isn't expected to handle his ty...
Impact Hockenson was a limited practice participant from Wednesday through Friday after he sustained a rib injury in the Vikings' Week 9 win over the Falcons. Though Hockenson still proceeded to play 85 percent of the snaps on offense against Atlanta and finished with a 7-69-0 receiving line on 12 targets, Werder notes that the 26-year-old is still affected by the rib injury, and the Vikings are expected to act more cautiously with his usage. Specifically, Werder relays that Hockenson will be on the field for key situations, though he won't play as many snaps as normal. While a more limited snap count than normal would lower Hockenson's fantasy ceiling to some degree, he still profiles as a strong option in Week 10 lineups, especially given the limited target competition he'll have whenever he's on the field. The Vikings opted not to activate star receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) from injured reserve this week, and another starting wideout in K.J. Osborn (concussion) is listed as questionable but considered unlikely to play.

K.J. Osborn - Appears unlikely to play Sunday Osborn (concussion) is listed as questionable but is considered unlikely to play Sunday against the Saints, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.
Impact Osborn was motionless on the field for several minutes before being carted off the field during last week's win over the Falcons after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Atlanta cornerback Dee Alford. He was diagnosed with a concussion soon thereafter, but despite the scary nature of the head injury, Osborn made rapid progress through the five-step protocol. After returning to practice Thursday in a limited fashion, Osborn turned in a full practice Friday and then passed the final step of the protocol by gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. However, Werder says both Osborn and coaches are leaning toward having the wideout sit out Sunday, likely for precautionary purposes more than anything. Official confirmation on Osborn's status will arrive when the Vikings post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's sidelined, more targets could open up for depth receivers such as Brandon Powell and Trishton Jackson.

K.J. Osborn - Clears protocol, may not play Osborn (concussion) has fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol but still isn't a lock to suit up Sunday versus the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Osborn practiced in full Friday and has since gained full medical clearance, but the Vikings might still opt to take a cautious approach to his health and give the starting wideout another week to rest. His status will be made official 90 minutes ahead of Minnesota's kickoff against the Saints at 1:00 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has been downgraded to 'out' and will not return from IR yet, while T.J. Hockenson (ribs) is expected to play.
