Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson ended the 2025 season on a high note, catching eight passes for 101 yards in the Vikings' 16-3 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

With the 101 yards, Jefferson joined Mike Evans and Randy Moss as the only players in NFL history to record at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first six seasons. It was, however, a bit of a down year for Jefferson, who finished with a career-low 1,048 yards and just two touchdowns. The 100-yard effort on Sunday was just his third of the season and his first since October 5. Jefferson was hurt by inconsistent quarterback play this season, but he still remains one of the best receivers in the NFL and should be a favorite to rebound in 2026.

Justin Jefferson hauled in four of his team-high five targets for 30 yards in the Vikings' 23-10 Week 17 win over the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson has made the most of increased involvement in the Minnesota offense, recording four or more receptions in each of his last two games. The dynamic wideout will look to finish a frustrating season on a positive note in a Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Justin Jefferson hauled in six of his team-high eight targets for 85 yards in the Vikings' 16-13 Week 16 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson continues a frustrating stretch in the Minnesota offense, finishing with less than 80 receiving yards in nine of his last 10 games. The superstar wideout remains a frustrating WR1 option due to inconsistent quarterback play, with a Week 17 Christmas Day matchup against Detroit Lions up next.

A series of missed opportunities and penalties derailed Justin Jefferson's production during Sunday's win over Dallas, limiting the receiver to just 22 yards on two catches. Despite seeing a team-high eight targets, he was unable to capitalize on scoring situations, failing to haul in two separate throws into the end zone and seeing a four-yard touchdown connection with J.J. McCarthy negated by a flag.

The lack of rhythm was further evidenced by two additional passes that hit his hands but fell incomplete. With Minnesota officially eliminated from postseason contention, the focus over the final stretch will shift toward strengthening the rapport between Jefferson and his quarterback.

Justin Jefferson caught two of four targets for 11 yards in the Vikings' 31-0 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite QB J.J. McCarthy having arguably his best all-around game, Jefferson wasn't the recipient of much of it. He's put up less than 50 yards in five of his last six games, and his upside has been severely limited. That's not to say he's lost a step, but merely that McCarthy has struggled to get things to him. It stands to reason that at some point, he and McCarthy will have a game where they finally get on the same page, but when that game comes is anyone's guess.
