Justin Jefferson Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson will need to step up his game if teammate Adam Thielencannot play in Week 12 against the Panthers after he tested positive for COVID-19. The rookie is averaging 18.8 yards per catch and has emerged as one of the most explosive receivers in the NFC. Jefferson will take on a Panthers Defense that is allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to the wide receiver position this season. Jefferson has four 100-yard games under his belt this season and Carolina has allowed 10 different players to post 10 fantasy points or more against them. If Thielen cannot suit up, Jefferson is an easy WR2 play with a ceiling much higher.
