Justin Jefferson News
Friday, September 18, 12:42 PM
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson is once again a WR1 option as the Minnesota Vikings prepare to take on the struggling Chicago Bears defense. The superstar receiver's stat line last week (eight catches, 92 yards, and two touchdowns) didn't show any signs of struggle despite the Vikings playing the majority of the game without starting quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion). The Vikings already ruled out Murray this week in favor of backup Carson Wentz, with whom Jefferson connected for both of his touchdowns in the comeback victory against Green Bay. Now, however, the LSU alum faces a Bears defense that allowed 156 yards after the catch last week and ranks 29th in air yards allowed. With running back Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve, Jefferson surely will be an integral part of the Minnesota game plan. He should be locked into lineups in all formats.

Jalen Coker News
Friday, September 18, 7:26 PM
Carolina Panthers Jalen Coker (ankle) will look to continue his strong play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. Coker logged a full practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons. The 24-year-old was seen in a walking boot on Monday, but was cleared after practicing throughout the week. He caught eight of nine targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns while playing 95% of the team's offensive snaps against the Bears in the regular-season opener. Coker showed a good rapport with quarterback Bryce Young and has 17 catches for 272 yards and two touchdowns over his last two games since the Wild Card loss to the Rams. Coker is ranked WR26 at RotoBaller and will keep things rolling against the Falcons, making him a strong WR3/FLEX heading into Week 2.
