Several winning NFL teams, including the Vikings, Chiefs, Browns, and Patriots, are facing challenges in providing consistent fantasy football options. Fantasy analyst Chris Allen highlights the Minnesota Vikings, where Kyler Murray's performance has not met expectations, and star receiver Justin Jefferson seeks improved connections with Murray. Jefferson remains a key target, but his production has been limited as the Vikings primarily rely on their running game. There is potential for more fantasy impact from tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Jordan Mason, especially if injuries affect their roles moving forward.

- •T.J. Hockenson shows potential with increased targets.
