Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Brian Thomas Jr.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson again showed why he's one of the best in football Sunday against Cleveland, going for seven catches and 123 yards in Minnesota's 21-17 comeback win in London. The All-Pro drew a game-best 11 targets and pulled down an excellent 21-yard catch on one of the NFL's top corners, Cleveland's Denzel Ward, to aid the Vikings' game-winning, 80-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. Fantasy managers have to be encouraged by Jefferson's past two weeks, in which he drew 11 targets and surpassed 100 yards in both games. The beat-up Vikings will take their bye in Week 6 before likely seeing the return of starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) in Week 7.

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football and will look to use the primetime game as a jumping-off point for the offense. Fans had high hopes for the team's offense with head coach Liam Coen entering the fold, but so far it has underwhelmed, mainly due to the performances of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The second-year man will look to bounce back in a big way on national television, but that is something managers have been hoping for each of the past few weeks. BTJ was a force to be reckoned with last season, but in Week 5, fantasy managers may have to continue waiting for this year's reckoning in a tough matchup with the Chiefs' secondary.
