Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 5 Half PPR Rankings

10.
Justin Jefferson
WR - (vs . NYJ)
Justin Jefferson is the lone NFL wide receiver to score a touchdown in all four games to start the 2024 season. That streak may be in jeopardy on Sunday morning against the New York Jets. New York leads the NFL in pass defense EPA and has allowed just two receiving scores to opposing wideouts this season. The Jets have also struggled in run defense, so the Vikings may look to exploit that edge on the ground. Jefferson is talented enough to beat even the most difficult of matchups. However, do not be shocked if Jefferson has his least productive fantasy day of the season in Week 5.

Aaron Jones
RB - (vs . NYJ)
Jones continues to crush this season as the RB8 in fantasy points per game. He has averaged 20 touches and 116.1 total yards. Among 53 qualifying running backs, he ranks seventh in explosive run rate and fourth in yards after contact per attempt. Jones should be the engine of the Vikings offense this week. The strength of the Jets' defense is their secondary, but you can run on this defense. The Jets have allowed the seventh-highest missed tackle rate, the third-highest yards after contact per attempt, the 11th-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the tenth-highest success rate to zone runs (Jones 56.3% zone).

Jordan Addison
WR - (vs . NYJ)
Last week, Addison made his return to the lineup and was very efficient with his work. He had a 69.7% route share, a 14.3% target share, a 29.8% air-yard share, 3.13 YPRR, and a 20% first-read share. He scored two touchdowns (one through the air and a rushing score). I can't count on Addison to continue that type of efficiency with his limited volume this week. The Jets have allowed the second-lowest PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Addison will run about 69% of his routes against Sauce Gardner (70% catch rate and 137.9 passer rating) and D.J. Reed (36.4% catch rate and 44.9 passer rating).

139.
Jalen Nailor
WR - (vs . NYJ)
With Jordan Addison back, Nailor's route share dropped to 33.3%, and his target share crumbled to 7.1%. In deeper formats, he's worth holding on your rosters, but in 12-team leagues, Nailor is droppable, and he's not startable unless his route share comes back up.
