Expert Note
View More NotesFresh off their Bye week, the 5-0 Vikings jump back in against the team that just lost to the worst team in the league. That's right, Brian Flores sets his sights on Daniel Jones and company as the Colts travel to Minnesota. The Colts are unlikely to be able to move the ball this game, opening the door for a slow-moving defensive game. That said, the Colts have no one who stops Jefferson. The jury is still out on what exactly Kyler Murray looks like in this offense, but we know that Jefferson will see a steady stream of targets and yards. In a game where the Vikings may not give up any points, Jefferson is a low-end WR1 in my rankings.

Fantasy Impact
The Vikings chose to limit Jefferson's workload at practice on Wednesday, though he is likely close to full health after the team's bye week last week. He should play and continue to be a good fantasy option in Week 7, barring something unforeseen.
