Justin Jefferson

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.

Fantasy Impact

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.

Justin Jefferson caught just 2-of-6 targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson had a terrible showing on Sunday. He was only able to total four yards on six targets, which is the lowest yardage that he has had in a single game throughout his career so far. He still has elite talent, but it looks like that won't lead to much fantasy success over the last stretch of the season, given Minnesota's woes on offense.

Justin Jefferson hauled in four of his six targets for 48 yards in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson has struggled to make an impact in the Minnesota offense of late, recording less than 60 receiving yards in three of his last four games. The wideout remains a risky option for fantasy managers in all formats ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
