Fantasy Football Player Notes

Justin Jefferson continues to compile solid yardage totals. The Vikings wide receiver trails only Ja'Marr Chase in total receiving yards on the year. However, Jefferson has now gone six straight games without a touchdown. Perhaps this is just simple regression after he found the end zone in each of his first four games this season. Either way, fantasy managers will have to hope Minnesota can find a way to get Jefferson a touchdown on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. There is optimism, as Atlanta has allowed 15 touchdowns to opposing wideouts this year. Only two teams in the league have given up more. Justin Jefferson should continue to be heavily involved in the game plan, which gives him a high floor as well as a high ceiling.

Addison has raised his stock in recent weeks to the WR36 in fantasy points per game, with top 24 receiver showings in three of his last five games. He has five red zone targets and three scores across his last five games. Since Week 6, Atlanta has utilized two high at the sixth-highest rate (54.4%). Against two high, Addison has had a 16.4% target share with 1.82 YPRR and a 19.6% first-read share. He should crush this week against a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game and fourth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
