KJ Osborn (concussion) absent Wednesday for Vikings
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
What It Means:
Osborn is trending toward sitting out Sunday's game after suffering a concussion in Week 9. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is also expected to remain out, so Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson (ribs) should command a ton of targets. There will also be more wide receiver snaps available for Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson, and N'Keal Harry.
Osborn caught 17 passes on 21 targets for 194 yards in three healthy games without Jefferson. He averaged 57.0 snaps and 22.3 routes in those contests. The Saints are allowing the 11th-fewest FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season and they have the fourth-best pass defense in the league, according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted model.
