Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 6-of-8 targets for 81 yards in the team's 23-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Ho-hum. It was another solid day for the fantasy stalwart, as he's now registered at least six receptions and 81 receiving yards in seven of his last eight outings. The only thing missing from his line was a touchdown. Still, it was yet again a strong effort from the former LSU Tiger as he continues to be a source of consistent production for fantasy managers. Jefferson will be a top-flight WR option in Week 12 when the Vikings line up against the Chicago Bears on the road in a divisional clash.
Justin Jefferson A Top-Two Option Despite Resilient Matchup
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is in store for his most challenging outing of the season this Sunday when his team travels to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans. The superstar wideout had his worst outing of 2024 in last weekend's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, failing to score at least 15 fantasy points for the first time. He'll get another staunch test in Week 11 in a Titans defensive unit that's allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs this season (13.6 per game). Still, the 25-year-old is the league's second-leading receiver (831), averaging an astounding 92.3 yards per game and remaining a must-start option. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 in this week's rankings.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 5-of-9 targets for 48 yards in the team's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. The Vikings offense sputtered on Sunday afternoon, failing to convert any of their five red zone trips into touchdowns. Quarterback Sam Darnold tossed three interceptions on the day -- one of them coming in the end zone, which was intended for the superstar wideout -- and was largely ineffective against a Jaguars defense that limited big plays and played Minnesota tough. The yardage total was a season-low for Jefferson, and it was the first time since Week 3 that he hauled in less than six receptions. The LSU product is always a bounce-back candidate after a poor showing, but he'll get another challenging outing next Sunday when the Vikings line up against the Tennessee Titans on the road.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson gets another enticing matchup this Sunday when his team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a road tilt. The 25-year-old superstar is averaging 97.9 receiving yards per contest in 2024 and stands an excellent chance to match or surpass that total against a woeful Jaguars pass defense. Jacksonville is the second-worst team against the pass on a per-play basis, letting up 7.3 yards per attempt to their opponents. Additionally, they've allowed 19 touchdowns through the air while intercepting just two passes on the season. The former LSU Tiger is again an elite WR option and should challenge as the WR1 overall on the week. He's RotoBaller's top PPR play at the position in Week 10.
Justin Jefferson Goes Over The Century Mark Yet Again
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in seven of nine targets for 137 yards in Sunday night's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It's the second straight 100-yard outing for the superstar wideout and his third straight contest with at least seven receptions. While he didn't score a touchdown, Jefferson tormented the Colts' secondary all evening, racking up five receptions of at least 20 yards -- three of such in the first half. The 25-year-old phenom entered Week 9 averaging 92.3 receiving yards per game and only helped further cement his case as the most complete wide receiver in football. Week 10 presents another outstanding matchup for the former LSU Tiger when he lines up against a sieve-like Jacksonville Jaguars secondary. Pencil him in as an elite WR1.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson should challenge for the overall WR1 on the week this Sunday when his team hosts the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent wideouts in 2024, sans an outing with fewer than 15 fantasy points. The superstar WR has just one outing on the entire season with fewer than 81 receiving yards and stands an excellent chance to put together his best performance yet against a sieve-like Colts defense. On the season, Indy has given up 6.7 yards per attempt to opposing passing attacks -- a bottom-eight figure in the NFL -- and is having trouble stopping any aspect of an opponent's offensive game plan. Fire Jets up ahead of a tantalizing matchup, as he ranks as RotoBaller's top wide receiver play of Week 9.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was targeted early and often during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jefferson hauled in five receptions for 68 yards over the first two drives of the game. His usage slowed down a bit after that, but Jefferson finished with eight receptions on nine targets for 115 yards in the loss. This marks his second 100-yard performance of the season as Jefferson is making easy work of opposing defenses. Fantasy managers should be getting another strong performance next week against the Indianapolis Colts. Jefferson is obviously a must-start in all formats as he's one of the best receivers in the league.
Justin Jefferson A Major Threat To Score Against Rams
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson continues to rank as a high-end WR1 for fantasy football heading into Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams. While Jefferson's volume has taken a step backward in the Vikings' Sam Darnold-led offense (he's averaging a relatively modest 5.5 catches per game and has not caught more than seven passes in a single game this year), he's a major scoring threat in the Minnesota offense. Not only does he have a touchdown in five of the Vikings' six games this year, but he's also facing off against a Rams defense allowing the ninth-most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2024. All in all, Jefferson has the highest upside among all players in the Vikings' offense and should be treated as high-end WR1 for Thursday night's clash against the Rams.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 7-of-8 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-29 loss to their division-rival Detroit Lions. It was another strong performance for the 25-year-old, who continues to be one of the most productive wide receivers in the league. Sunday marked his fourth-straight game with at least 81 yards and six catches, and he's scored a touchdown in all but one contest thus far in 2024. He could have had an even bigger game, but two of his catches went for no gain. The former LSU Tiger will get a quick turnaround in Week 8 when he and the Vikings head to SoFi Stadium for a road tilt with the Los Angeles Rams. He'll again be a top-flight WR play.
Justin Jefferson Looks To Stay Productive In Week 7
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has played well this season, as expected, amassing 26 catches for 450 yards and four touchdowns. With the Vikings having won their first five games of the 2024-25 campaign leading up to a much-needed bye week, Jefferson will look to keep Minnesota atop the NFC North by earning a win over the Lions. The wideout has only three touchdowns in eight career meetings against Detroit. However, he's accumulated at least seven catches in five of those contests. Of course, Jefferson is always a must-start, although he could be even more productive for PPR managers in Week 7.
