Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Ja'Marr Chase

Sunday, October 5, 1:21 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson again showed why he's one of the best in football Sunday against Cleveland, going for seven catches and 123 yards in Minnesota's 21-17 comeback win in London. The All-Pro drew a game-best 11 targets and pulled down an excellent 21-yard catch on one of the NFL's top corners, Cleveland's Denzel Ward, to aid the Vikings' game-winning, 80-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. Fantasy managers have to be encouraged by Jefferson's past two weeks, in which he drew 11 targets and surpassed 100 yards in both games. The beat-up Vikings will take their bye in Week 6 before likely seeing the return of starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) in Week 7.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught six of his 10 targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions. For the first time since Week 2, when Joe Burrow (toe) went down, Chase posted double-digit fantasy points and found the end zone. His big performance was partly aided by a negative game script and some garbage time production, but it's also worth noting that he solidified his rapport with quarterback Jake Browning on Sunday. Don't be surprised if the two continue to demonstrate a solid connection in future games. Chase is a low-end fantasy WR1 heading into Week 6 against Green Bay.
