Justin Jefferson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson brought in 5-of-8 targets for 58 yards in his team's Wild Card loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The fantasy stalwart tied fellow wideout Jordan Addison for the team lead in targets but was mostly shut down by a stingy Rams defense. It was a rough day for the entire Vikes' offense, as quarterback Sam Darnold had trouble connecting with any of his pass catchers, even when he wasn't in the grass. Jefferson caught his last pass of the contest with just over three minutes to go in the first half. The superstar wideout had another excellent season, but he'll undoubtedly be left wanting more after a near first-round bye. At this time, it is difficult to tell who the 25-year-old's signal-caller will be in 2025. However, he'll still likely be chosen amongst the first few picks in next Summer's fantasy drafts.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is a locked-in WR1 for Monday night's road tilt with the Los Angeles Rams. The superstar wideout is coming off a three-catch, 54-yard outing in the team's Week 18 loss to the Lions -; marking his lowest reception total of 2024. It wasn't just him, as the entire Vikings offense sputtered against a Detroit defense that played lights out to clinch the NFC North. However, Jefferson will try to get back on track against a Rams D that's been a decent matchup for fantasy wideouts in 2024. Los Angeles tied for the third-most touchdowns allowed to the position (20) despite letting up the second-fewest receptions to wide receivers. If quarterback Sam Darnold can rebound from his poor showing in their most recent loss, the 25-year-old should be in store for a productive day. Jefferson ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 for the Wild Card round.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 3-of-9 targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 31-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. It's a disappointing outcome for the fantasy stalwart, as he'd been on quite a tear and was entering a favorable spot against his division rivals. However, Detroit's defense clamped down on the Vikings during the season finale, consistently pressuring quarterback Sam Darnold and keeping their offense off-kilter. The loss breaks a nine-game winning streak for Minnesota and drops them down to the fifth seed in the NFC playoff picture. Instead of a week off and home-field advantage throughout the tournament, they'll now travel to SoFi Stadium in the Wild Card round to line up against the Los Angeles Rams. Expect Jefferson to get back on track next Monday night against a Rams squad that allowed the sixth-most yards per game in 2024.
