Justin Jefferson News
Friday, November 13, 12:16 PM
The Minnesota Vikings put out the Bat-Signal for quarterback Kirk Cousins this week, and with the possible exception of wide receiver Justin Jefferson himself, nobody is happier about that more than fantasy managers who roster Jefferson ahead of a Week 10 game at Green Bay. The Vikings' offensive ineptitude reached comedic stages in last week's loss to Buffalo, though the All-Pro receiver has a new lease on this season thanks to Cousins, who will start right away after arriving via trade on Tuesday. Jefferson averaged 7.5 catches and more than 108 receiving yards playing with the veteran quarterback in head coach Kevin O'Connell's system, which included leading the NFL in catches and yards in 2022. Cousins' presence should completely revive the team's mid-range and play-action passing attack, where Jefferson has historically done his best work. Against a Packers defense that ranks 26th against half-PPR receivers and 27th in yards after catch, the superstar could be due for a few big plays on Sunday. He's RotoBaller's No. 6 receiver this week and should be started in all formats.

Isaiah Likely News
Thursday, November 12, 9:05 PM
New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely piled up 127 yards and a touchdown on 9-of-11 receiving in his team's 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders. Likely was involved from the get-go on Thursday night, ripping off nine yards on the Giants' third play from scrimmage. Washington had no answer for the former fourth-round pick, as he consistently worked open across the middle of the field. Likely's highlight of the night was a 66-yard catch-and-run that gave New York the lead midway through the fourth quarter. With the monster effort, he set new career highs in single-game receiving yards, as well as receiving yards (575) and touchdowns (seven) in a season. There figures to be some ups and downs for the 26-year-old on a Giants squad that's still figuring it out, but he's one of the league's most enticing TE options for fantasy, and is getting the long-awaited volume he deserves. Next up for New York is a clash with the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.
