Justin Jefferson Goes Down With The Ship

Justin Jefferson Goes Down With The Ship

2 years ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson posted his third straight week with 10 targets in Sunday night's dismal 33-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers, logging five receptions for 59 yards. Jefferson was dealt a tough hand in Week 17, with the Vikings electing for a midgame quarterback swap between Jaren Hall and Nick Mullens. It was more or less a microcosm of Jefferson's frustrating 2023 for both real-life and fantasy purposes, as the 24-year-old three-time Pro Bowler was well on his way to another ridiculous campaign before his midseason hamstring strain was later coupled with Kirk Cousins' (Achilles) season-ending injury. Fantasy managers who actually made it to the finals despite Jefferson's seven-game absence may have hardly benefitted from having him available anyway. Jefferson pulled in a 6/141/1 receiving line last Sunday against the Detroit Lions, who he will take on in Week 18.
