Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is a locked-in WR1 in a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. The former LSU Tiger has been as steady as they come in 2024 -; notching at least 14 fantasy points in all but two outings. Jefferson matched a season-high with 14 targets in last weekend's win against the Chicago Bears and recorded his third straight game with seven receptions. He gets a Seahawks D in Week 16, which has let up the tenth-most touchdowns to wideouts this season (15), and the 25-year-old has gotten into the end zone in back-to-back weeks after a six-week stretch in which he scored nary a touchdown. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR3 in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 7-of-13 targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in his team's 30-12 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The last time these two met, Chicago held the superstar wideout to 27 yards and two receptions on five targets. However, Jefferson got one over on the Bears in this one, scoring his third TD in the last two games. Jefferson was involved early, catching his touchdown -- a seven-yarder -- on the Vikings' second drive of the game. The LSU product has seven receptions in three straight outings and continues to torment defenses as one of the most dominant pass-catchers in football. He'll get a date with the Seattle Seahawks in the fantasy semi-finals next weekend and is a locked-in elite WR1.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will get a rematch against the visiting Chicago Bears in Week 15 on Monday Night Football. Jefferson had a tough go against his division rivals in Week 12, putting up his only stinker of the season (2/27). At the same time, fellow wideout Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson stole the show with massive performances. Otherwise, the superstar WR has been stellar again in 2024 with just one other single-digit fantasy point total. Additionally, he's coming off his best outing of the season and his third 130-plus-yard game of the year. With Minnesota's offense rolling, fire up the 25-year-old as a top option at his position. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR4 ahead of this week's slate of action.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in all seven of his targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14's 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 25-year-old hadn't hit pay dirt since Week 7 but made up for that in a big way on Sunday with a massive performance. Minnesota's offense was clicking on all cylinders this afternoon as quarterback Sam Darnold tossed five touchdowns against a hapless Falcons defense. It was Jefferson's first two-touchdown performance since Week 4 of 2023. The first of which was a leaping 12-yard grab in the end zone as he ran a pristine route, shaking his defender just enough to offer a window of separation. His second of the day was far easier, as a blown coverage by the Falcons left the superstar receiver wide-open for a 52-yard score. Jefferson will square off against the Chicago Bears again in Week 15. In their last meeting, he was held to 27 yards and two receptions on five targets.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson could be in store for a massive day this weekend when his team lines up against the Atlanta Falcons. The fifth-year wideout rebounded nicely in Week 13 after putting up a stinker the week prior -- becoming just the fourth player in league history to rack up 1,000-plus yards in each of their first five seasons in the process. It's been an incredible start to his career. Jefferson will look to get back into the end zone this weekend -- something he has yet to do since Week 7 -- and has a strong chance to do so against a Falcons defensive unit that has been abysmal against wide receivers in 2024. Atlanta allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (37.9), with 15 of their 21 passing scores given up coming to the position. The 25-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR WR3 in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 7-of-9 targets for 99 yards in his team's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. The fifth-year wideout was held to just two receptions and 32 yards during the first two frames as Minnesota's drives stalled near Arizona's red zone. He came alive in the second half, though, commanding another seven targets and drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty. His highlight of the day was a 30-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter that put him over 1,000 yards on the season -- making him just the fourth player in NFL history to amass at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first five seasons. Incredible. Jefferson has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 14. He'll get an Atlanta Falcons squad that gave up an average of 38.3 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position heading into this weekend -- the fifth-most in the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will square off against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday in another tough matchup. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent receivers in fantasy this season, coming off his only bust game thus far in 2024 (2/27). He'll get a stiff test again this weekend against a Cardinals unit that has mostly held opposing passing attacks in check. Arizona has been stingy on the back end in 2024, but the defense as a whole has given up a decent amount of yardage (340.5 per game). Additionally, Jefferson garners the fourth-highest target share in the NFL (29.8%) and should continue to get a ton of volume even in a less-than-favorable bout. Despite a down week, continue to slot him into your lineup confidently as RotoBaller's PPR WR4 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 2-of-5 targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over their division-rival Chicago Bears. Ouch. There's no way of getting around it -- the 25-year-old was a massive disappointment Sunday afternoon, particularly on a day when fellow wideout Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson combined for 15 receptions and 276 yards on 18 targets. Jefferson's yardage output, target, and reception total were all season lows, and he put up a stinker for the first time in 2024. It's better than a goose egg -- but not by much. He'll look to bounce back in Week 13 when the Vikings host the visiting Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 24, 2024 5:34 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson gets another challenging outing this Sunday when he takes on the Chicago Bears in a road tilt. The fantasy stalwart had an unfavorable matchup in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans but still came away with a solid six receptions and 81 yards. Despite just three top-ten weekly finishes at his position, he's still the overall WR3 in PPR formats -; speaking to his consistency. Jefferson has registered less than five receptions twice in ten appearances and has one game all season with less than 50 receiving yards. Chicago is letting up an average of 15.4 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position and even less to quarterbacks (12.2). However, look for the superstar wideout to find a way to get it done for fantasy managers. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 in this week's rankings.
Nov 22, 2024 3:44 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 6-of-8 targets for 81 yards in the team's 23-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Ho-hum. It was another solid day for the fantasy stalwart, as he's now registered at least six receptions and 81 receiving yards in seven of his last eight outings. The only thing missing from his line was a touchdown. Still, it was yet again a strong effort from the former LSU Tiger as he continues to be a source of consistent production for fantasy managers. Jefferson will be a top-flight WR option in Week 12 when the Vikings line up against the Chicago Bears on the road in a divisional clash.
Nov 17, 2024 5:20 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is in store for his most challenging outing of the season this Sunday when his team travels to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans. The superstar wideout had his worst outing of 2024 in last weekend's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, failing to score at least 15 fantasy points for the first time. He'll get another staunch test in Week 11 in a Titans defensive unit that's allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs this season (13.6 per game). Still, the 25-year-old is the league's second-leading receiver (831), averaging an astounding 92.3 yards per game and remaining a must-start option. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR2 in this week's rankings.
Nov 15, 2024 5:18 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 5-of-9 targets for 48 yards in the team's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. The Vikings offense sputtered on Sunday afternoon, failing to convert any of their five red zone trips into touchdowns. Quarterback Sam Darnold tossed three interceptions on the day -- one of them coming in the end zone, which was intended for the superstar wideout -- and was largely ineffective against a Jaguars defense that limited big plays and played Minnesota tough. The yardage total was a season-low for Jefferson, and it was the first time since Week 3 that he hauled in less than six receptions. The LSU product is always a bounce-back candidate after a poor showing, but he'll get another challenging outing next Sunday when the Vikings line up against the Tennessee Titans on the road.
Nov 10, 2024 4:45 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson gets another enticing matchup this Sunday when his team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a road tilt. The 25-year-old superstar is averaging 97.9 receiving yards per contest in 2024 and stands an excellent chance to match or surpass that total against a woeful Jaguars pass defense. Jacksonville is the second-worst team against the pass on a per-play basis, letting up 7.3 yards per attempt to their opponents. Additionally, they've allowed 19 touchdowns through the air while intercepting just two passes on the season. The former LSU Tiger is again an elite WR option and should challenge as the WR1 overall on the week. He's RotoBaller's top PPR play at the position in Week 10.
Nov 8, 2024 4:54 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in seven of nine targets for 137 yards in Sunday night's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It's the second straight 100-yard outing for the superstar wideout and his third straight contest with at least seven receptions. While he didn't score a touchdown, Jefferson tormented the Colts' secondary all evening, racking up five receptions of at least 20 yards -- three of such in the first half. The 25-year-old phenom entered Week 9 averaging 92.3 receiving yards per game and only helped further cement his case as the most complete wide receiver in football. Week 10 presents another outstanding matchup for the former LSU Tiger when he lines up against a sieve-like Jacksonville Jaguars secondary. Pencil him in as an elite WR1.
Nov 4, 2024 12:18 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson should challenge for the overall WR1 on the week this Sunday when his team hosts the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent wideouts in 2024, sans an outing with fewer than 15 fantasy points. The superstar WR has just one outing on the entire season with fewer than 81 receiving yards and stands an excellent chance to put together his best performance yet against a sieve-like Colts defense. On the season, Indy has given up 6.7 yards per attempt to opposing passing attacks -- a bottom-eight figure in the NFL -- and is having trouble stopping any aspect of an opponent's offensive game plan. Fire Jets up ahead of a tantalizing matchup, as he ranks as RotoBaller's top wide receiver play of Week 9.
Nov 2, 2024 11:50 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was targeted early and often during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jefferson hauled in five receptions for 68 yards over the first two drives of the game. His usage slowed down a bit after that, but Jefferson finished with eight receptions on nine targets for 115 yards in the loss. This marks his second 100-yard performance of the season as Jefferson is making easy work of opposing defenses. Fantasy managers should be getting another strong performance next week against the Indianapolis Colts. Jefferson is obviously a must-start in all formats as he's one of the best receivers in the league.
Oct 25, 2024 9:49 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson continues to rank as a high-end WR1 for fantasy football heading into Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams. While Jefferson's volume has taken a step backward in the Vikings' Sam Darnold-led offense (he's averaging a relatively modest 5.5 catches per game and has not caught more than seven passes in a single game this year), he's a major scoring threat in the Minnesota offense. Not only does he have a touchdown in five of the Vikings' six games this year, but he's also facing off against a Rams defense allowing the ninth-most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2024. All in all, Jefferson has the highest upside among all players in the Vikings' offense and should be treated as high-end WR1 for Thursday night's clash against the Rams.
Oct 23, 2024 12:32 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught 7-of-8 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-29 loss to their division-rival Detroit Lions. It was another strong performance for the 25-year-old, who continues to be one of the most productive wide receivers in the league. Sunday marked his fourth-straight game with at least 81 yards and six catches, and he's scored a touchdown in all but one contest thus far in 2024. He could have had an even bigger game, but two of his catches went for no gain. The former LSU Tiger will get a quick turnaround in Week 8 when he and the Vikings head to SoFi Stadium for a road tilt with the Los Angeles Rams. He'll again be a top-flight WR play.
Oct 20, 2024 10:04 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has played well this season, as expected, amassing 26 catches for 450 yards and four touchdowns. With the Vikings having won their first five games of the 2024-25 campaign leading up to a much-needed bye week, Jefferson will look to keep Minnesota atop the NFC North by earning a win over the Lions. The wideout has only three touchdowns in eight career meetings against Detroit. However, he's accumulated at least seven catches in five of those contests. Of course, Jefferson is always a must-start, although he could be even more productive for PPR managers in Week 7.
Oct 19, 2024 12:43 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has paid early dividends in fantasy so far, and he hopes to continue riding a hot streak in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. The former first-round receiver has been incredibly productive despite his team simply not having to pass much in the second half of their games. The Packers will probably pose a more competitive game than the Vikings have been used to this season. If so, expect even greater productivity from Jefferson, who has already scored a touchdown in his first three games. There is a chance that Jordan Addison (ankle) eats into the targets. However, start Jefferson and feel confident in that choice.
