Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 7-of-9 targets for 99 yards in his team's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. The fifth-year wideout was held to just two receptions and 32 yards during the first two frames as Minnesota's drives stalled near Arizona's red zone. He came alive in the second half, though, commanding another seven targets and drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty. His highlight of the day was a 30-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter that put him over 1,000 yards on the season -- making him just the fourth player in NFL history to amass at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first five seasons. Incredible. Jefferson has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 14. He'll get an Atlanta Falcons squad that gave up an average of 38.3 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position heading into this weekend -- the fifth-most in the NFL.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will square off against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday in another tough matchup. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent receivers in fantasy this season, coming off his only bust game thus far in 2024 (2/27). He'll get a stiff test again this weekend against a Cardinals unit that has mostly held opposing passing attacks in check. Arizona has been stingy on the back end in 2024, but the defense as a whole has given up a decent amount of yardage (340.5 per game). Additionally, Jefferson garners the fourth-highest target share in the NFL (29.8%) and should continue to get a ton of volume even in a less-than-favorable bout. Despite a down week, continue to slot him into your lineup confidently as RotoBaller's PPR WR4 in this week's ranks.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 2-of-5 targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over their division-rival Chicago Bears. Ouch. There's no way of getting around it -- the 25-year-old was a massive disappointment Sunday afternoon, particularly on a day when fellow wideout Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson combined for 15 receptions and 276 yards on 18 targets. Jefferson's yardage output, target, and reception total were all season lows, and he put up a stinker for the first time in 2024. It's better than a goose egg -- but not by much. He'll look to bounce back in Week 13 when the Vikings host the visiting Arizona Cardinals.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson gets another challenging outing this Sunday when he takes on the Chicago Bears in a road tilt. The fantasy stalwart had an unfavorable matchup in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans but still came away with a solid six receptions and 81 yards. Despite just three top-ten weekly finishes at his position, he's still the overall WR3 in PPR formats -; speaking to his consistency. Jefferson has registered less than five receptions twice in ten appearances and has one game all season with less than 50 receiving yards. Chicago is letting up an average of 15.4 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position and even less to quarterbacks (12.2). However, look for the superstar wideout to find a way to get it done for fantasy managers. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 in this week's rankings.
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.
