Justin Jefferson

In J.J. McCarthy's six starts, Justin Jefferson has finished as a top-24 wide receiver in weekly scoring twice (WR18, WR20. In that sample, he has had a 30.8% target share with 53 receiving yards per game, 1.77 yards per route run, and a 38% first-read share. In those six games, he has had seven red zone targets and eight deep targets. Since Week 11, Washington has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (64.8%). With McCarthy against two high, Jefferson has still led the team with a 25.6% target share and 28% first-read share. If McCarthy can show a pulse this week (I know it's a big IF), Jefferson could have a big bounce-back game. Since Week 9, Washington has allowed the most PPR points per target and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

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.
