Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his 11 targets for 74 yards during Thursday's Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jefferson was heavily targeted by quarterback Carson Wentz, who made yet another start in place of the injured J.J. McCarthy (ankle). The star receiver had a relatively modest showing by his standards, finishing with fewer than 75 yards for the first time since Week 1. He remains Wentz's No. 1 target, but his upside is capped when the offense struggles to stay on the field. Jefferson will look to bounce back as a solid WR1 against the Detroit Lions in Week 9, especially if McCarthy can return from his five-game absence.

According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the New Orleans Saints are not expected to trade wide receiver Chris Olave ahead of this year's deadline. Olave is in the final year of his rookie contract, sparking speculation about a potential move, but the Saints reportedly have no plans to deal him and are instead interested in a contract extension for their young star. Olave has been a target hog in 2025, catching 44 of 71 targets for 440 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. With the Saints committed to keeping him in New Orleans, Olave should continue to dominate the passing volume and profiles as a low-end WR2 for the rest of the fantasy season.
