Justin Jefferson hauled in 11-of-14 targets for 182 yards and a touchdown in Sunday afternoon's loss to Detroit. He additionally rushed once for four yards.
Fantasy Impact:
Justin Jefferson was peppered with targets all day, as Adam Thielen suffered a high-ankle sprain early in the first half. His 11 receptions for 182 yards accounted for new career-highs. He recorded his touchdown catch after the two-minute warning in the final frame to help the Vikings reclaim the lead, until the Lions scored the game-winning touchdown to earn their first victory of the season. Jefferson has been scorching hot in the last four weeks, averaging 144 yards per contest. He'll continue to serve as an elite WR1 for Week 14 against Pittsburgh, with an uptick in volume in the likely event that Thielen is sidelined.
