Justin Jefferson News
Eight catches for 80 yards sounds like a stat line any fantasy manager would be happy with from one of their starting wide receivers. But in a game in which the Minnesota Vikings threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns, wide receiverJustin Jefferson's managers had to feel like there was a lot of production left on the field. Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw three touchdowns to other pass-catchers on the team, but he did target Jefferson a team-high 14 times. As long as Cousins keeps targeting the talented second-year wide receiver at this rate, the big games will come. Jefferson will continue as a locked-in WR1 when the Vikings return after their Week 7 bye.
Minnesota Vikings wide receivers Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Adam Thielen (foot) were both taken off the final injury report for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers and are good to go on Sunday. Both pass-catchers missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but it was more of a precautionary move. The Panthers secondary has been pretty solid so far in 2021, so Jefferson and Thielen will have their work cut out for them. Jefferson has been more consistent and has more upside as a WR1, but Thielen remains a must-start WR2 as one of quarterback Kirk Cousins' favorite red-zone targets. Just make sure to temper expectations slightly against a Carolina defense that has allowed just 161.6 passing yards per game through five weeks.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers got a little spooked on Wednesday with his missed practice, but fret not, the 22-year-old should remain glued to all starting fantasy lineups this weekend. Jefferson has scored in three of five games so far in 2021 and is coming off a seven-catch, 124-yard performance in Week 5's win over the Detroit Lions. Heading into this weekend, Jefferson ranks as the WR10 in fantasy with 33 catches on 45 targets for 462 yards and three touchdowns. He'll be facing an improved Panthers secondary, but you aren't benching Jefferson unless he's inactive.

Randy Moss? Let's not get too crazy. Yes, Justin Jefferson's 88 receptions for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie broke records for Minnesota. But Randy Moss he is not. Jefferson does not have the same size and is not the same type of...
