McCarthy<\/a> (out<\/a>; ankle) last week and helped Minnesota roll their way to a 48-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>. Let’s look for Minnesota to stay strong and cover a 2.5-point spread against Aaron Rodgers<\/a> and company. <\/p>\n The Vikings enter Week 4 with the first-ranked schedule-adjusted defense<\/a>. They have forced seven turnovers (tied for third-most) and are holding opposing quarterbacks to a league-worst -0.52 expected points added per drop back (EPA\/db) — way down from the league average of -0.01 EPA\/db. <\/p>\n Rodgers has been solid enough in the early going, but he has tossed three interceptions across his last two games and has yet to face a top-15 adjusted pass defense. I think he has a tougher task in this one than Wentz, who is armed with superior skill players and is facing a Steelers D that ranks just 23rd against the pass and has permitted +0.13 EPA\/db to signal-callers. <\/p>\n This is a game that has a low total (40.5) and could be a slugfest. I like the Vikings to win by a field goal. <\/p>\n T.J. Hockenson Over 37.5 Receiving Yards (-114)<\/a><\/p>\n T.J. Hockenson<\/a> got off to a slow start with McCarthy, but the tight end caught five of his six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown with Wentz under center in Week 3. <\/p>\n It’s hard to glean too much from one game, but Hockenson did earn 25.0% of the targets and run 65.5% of the routes despite a blowout. Across his past two seasons, Hockenson cleared 37.5 yards in 18 of 25 games. He’s been a focal point in Minnesota’s offense for some time now, and there’s reason to believe he can thrive in this matchup.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh has surrendered the 10th-most targets, 10th-most catches, 6th-most yards, and 3rd-most downfield targets to opposing tight ends. They’re also letting up 1.76 yards per route run (fifth-most) to the position. In a plus matchup, Hockenson seems to be in line to clear 37.5 yards on Sunday. <\/p>\n Jaylen Warren Any Time Touchdown (+155)<\/a><\/p>\n Although I’m taking Minnesota to cover, I see value in one touchdown scorer from Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n Jaylen Warren<\/a>‘s overall role has been decent, but his red zone role has been phenomenal. Warren has played 77.3% of the red zone snaps and commanded an 85.7% red zone rush share and 14.3% red zone target share. He notched one receiving TD in Week 1 but has yet to score on the ground despite 12 total red zone attempts. Something’s got to give, and his +155 touchdown odds might be a bit too long based on his goal line work. <\/p>\n For as good as Minnesota’s defense is, they’ve been more of a middle-of-the-road group against the run and are giving up the 11th-highest rushing touchdown percentage, compared to the second-lowest passing touchdown percentage. The Vikings have also been charged with the ninth-most penalty yards through Week 3, and Wentz is a candidate to leave the Steelers with a short field. <\/p>\n Get a 30% Profit Boost Token<\/a> to use on an Anytime TD wager for the Minnesota Vikings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers NFL International series game on September 28th!
