The Vikings (5-8) visit the Cowboys (6-6-1) for a Sunday Night Football showdown after blanking Washington 31-0 in Week 14. Minnesota looks to win consecutive games for the first time this season, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was limited to just 2 catches for 11 yards last week, his second straight game under 20 yards. The All-Pro hasn't scored since Week 9 and hasn’t surpassed 100 yards since Week 5, but he draws a nice matchup against a porous Dallas defense.
The prime-time stage might just give Jefferson an intriguing chance to reignite his season.
Below, we'll break down Justin Jefferson’s stats and picks for Sunday Night Football vs. the Cowboys. Use PrizePicks to make picks on player projections for Week 15 and beyond.
