  "account": "College football alumnus Tai Felton saw a significant increase in playing time during Week 5 of the NFL season. As the Minnesota Vikings defeated the New Orleans Saints 23-13, the 23-year-old wide receiver caught two passes on three targets for 27 yards. With the absence of injured veterans Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, head coach Kevin O’Connell featured Felton primarily in the offense for the third consecutive week. During the game, Felton logged 47 snaps out wide and in the slot, marking his first career offense-only game. The Vikings have now secured a 5-0 record, a first since 2024. However, Felton will revert to a rotational role once the team's roster becomes fully healthy.",
