Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Christian Watson

Wednesday, September 30, 10:34 AM

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Jefferson suffered a left-ankle sprain in the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is now questionable to play in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old was reportedly close to re-entering Sunday's game against Tampa, but the Vikings ultimately held him out, and he finished with only two catches for 32 yards. The Vikings are saying that Jefferson is not dealing with a long-term ankle injury, but that does not mean he will not be in danger of sitting out this weekend's game. The four-time Pro Bowler will need to return to practice on either Thursday or Friday for fantasy managers to feel comfortable about him playing in a great matchup against Miami. When active, Jefferson is always a must-start WR1 in fantasy football. He has 13 receptions on 17 targets for 179 yards and two touchdowns through his first three games in his seventh year in the NFL.
