Justin Jefferson Torches Seahawks Secondary In Victory

Sunday, December 22, 11:09 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 10-of-13 targets, amassing 144 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks. Jefferson was open all afternoon against a Seahawks defense that had no answer for him. Despite four receptions of seven yards or fewer, the 25-year-old had long gains of 19, 27, and 39 yards -- the last of which was an acrobatic grab that ended in six points. The LSU product has five touchdowns over his previous three games and two outings of over 130 yards in that frame. After a brief cold stretch in the middle of the season, the superstar wideout has returned to form for the fantasy playoffs. He'll get a stiffer test next Sunday in Week 17 with a home rematch against the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay had allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers leading up to Week 16. Still, Jefferson scored 20.5 fantasy points against them earlier this year and is a no-doubt WR1.

Christian Watson Missing Another Practice

Thursday, December 26, 3:52 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will miss a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Watson injured his left knee in Monday night's win over the New Orleans Saints and is now looking very iffy to suit up in Week 17 versus the division-rival Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday. The 25-year-old is already a very shaky WR4/flex play to begin with in Green Bay's crowded receiving room, but on top of it, the Packers play in the late window on Sunday. At best, Watson will probably end up with a questionable tag if he's able to return to the practice field on Friday. Watson is only dealing with a bruise in his knee, but the team could play it safe with him so that they'll have the oft-injured wideout fully healthy for the playoffs. If Watson is out or limited on Sunday, it will mean more upside for the likes of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.
