Colts vs Vikings Prop #1: Aaron Jones Rushing Yards
This season, the Indianapolis Colts have been gashed on the ground, allowing the third most rushing yards in the NFL (151.9 per game). In their last four contests, the Colts have surrendered 102 yards to Joe Mixon, 77 to De’Von Achane, 93 to Tony Pollard, and 101 to Tank Bigsby.

On four occasions this season, Aaron Jones has gone past the 71.5 yards threshold, and he’s been 90+ rushing yards in each of those contests. Given that he’s up against a squad that gives up a ton of yardage on the ground, expect Minny to pound the rock a lot, and get him his total.
- Colts vs Vikings Prop Pick: Aaron Jones over 71.5 rushing yards (-115); risk 1 unit at DraftKings
Colts vs Vikings Prop #2: Josh Downs Receptions
One receiver that has shown fantastic chemistry with Colts’ QB Joe Flacco is Josh Downs. In the three games Flacco has competed in this season, Down has caught 24 passes for a total of 217 yards and two TD’s.
Josh Downs (2024)
+ @FantasyPtsDataw/ Joe Flacco
+ 26.5% target share (WR8)
+ 9.0 catchable targets per game (WR1)

+ 21.1% target share (WR32)
+ 3.3 catchable targets per game (WR66)
+ 9.6 FPG (WR52)— Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB) October 29, 2024
In each of the three affairs, Downs has caught at least seven balls, and been targeted at least nine times. He’s also coming off a 109 yard game last week with Anthony Richardson at QB. His line is set at 5.5 receptions in this game, and the Vikings are surrendering the third highest passing yards per game in the league (263.0). Expect Downs to continue the chemistry with Flacco, and he’s a big part of John Hyslop’s Colts vs Vikings same-game parlay.

Colts vs Vikings Prop #3: Justin Jefferson Anytime Touchdown
It’s no surprise that Justin Jefferson has been phenomenal yet again this season, as he’s third in receiving yardage (646). He’s also been clutch at finding the end zone, finding pay dirt in five of seven contests on the campaign.

Not only have the Vikings struggled against the pass this season, but the Colts are only marginally better (ninth most yards per game). Jefferson will have his looks to record a TD, something he’s done in seven of his last ten overall contests.
