Expert Note
View More NotesCarson Wentz, producing Justin Jefferson's best fantasy weeks over the last two years, showcases the minimal amount of QB play needed for the superstar to get home. This also indicates how bad J.J. McCarthy must have been last year for Jefferson to struggle as much as he did. Unfortunately, Kyler Murray left the game early after a late hit. As a result, Wentz stepped in and fed Jefferson for eight receptions, 92 yards, and two touchdowns. The Vikings managed to stun the Packers, who were in control for most of the game. They now face a red-hot Bears team that is looking to set offensive records. Unless Brian Flores can continue to have elite game plans up his sleeve, Wentz may be forced to air it out to Jefferson all game. After all, the Bears just allowed Jalen Coker to have 138 yards and two scores last week.

Fantasy Impact
Despite Kyler Murray leaving in the first quarter with a concussion, Jefferson was still able to produce in a big way with Carson Wentz. He remains a locked and loaded high-end WR1.
