Justin Jefferson News
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 10 passes for 147 yards and added a three-yard rushing touchdown as he totaled 31.0 PPR fantasy points. Jefferson got back on track in a huge way after having two straight duds despite the tough matchup with a stingy Saints defense. The 23-year-old was able to connect on two explosive plays, with the most important play of the game being a 41-yard reception to get the Vikings in field goal range to win the game. Jefferson will continue to possess high-end WR1 value moving forward and will look to build on a strong performance in Week 5 against the Bears.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to get back on track in Week 4 against the Saints as the Vikings travel to London. The young star draws a tough matchup with Marshon Lattimore and a solid New Orleans secondary who have given up the fifth-fewest passing yards this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. Despite a brutal last two games, Jefferson will remain a must-start option as an elite WR1 this week. We've seen him get loose for some big games in the past against tough opposition, so the 23-year-old should be started in all formats regardless of his slow start to the season.
Minnesota Vikings All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson ran wild against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, but the Eagles and Lions have limited him in the last two weeks by consistently double-teaming him. "I have to do a better job," head coach Kevin O'Connell said, "of giving Justin different aspects of lining up in different spots, different personnel groupings, whatever I need to do to help him." He had nine catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener, but he's totaled nine catches for only 62 yards in the last two weeks. A bounce-back won't be easy in Week 4 against a Saints defense that has allowed only 183.7 passing yards per game through three weeks, but Jefferson will continue to be a must-start, high-end WR1 nonetheless.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a remarkable rookie season in 2020. After 88 receptions, 1,400 yards, and seven touchdowns, the pressure was one for him to improve. And improve, he did. While playing in all 17 games, Jefferson had 108 receptions for 1,616 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was the main target for quarterback Kirk Cousins and was able to keep the offense afloat during weeks when Adam Thielen missed games due to injury. Coming into year three, but under a new head...
