Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or DeVonta Smith

Sunday, November 17, 5:20 PM

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.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) didn't take part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. It's the third straight week that Smith has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring, but he played each of the last two games, albeit to the tune of just six receptions on nine targets for 43 yards and no touchdowns. As long as the 26-year-old is able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he stands a good chance of being available to play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. However, a questionable tag could make life difficult on fantasy managers with the Eagles playing on Sunday Night Football this week. We'd expect Smith to play this weekend as he looks to get back in the good graces of his fantasy managers. Treat him as a WR2 if he's active on Sunday.
