Can QB Switch Finally Unlock Justin Jefferson?

Saturday, November 7, 9:55 AM

The Minnesota Vikings' inability to get the ball to wide receiver Justin Jefferson this season has been nothing short of embarrassing for head coach Kevin O'Connell and his languishing offense, though the Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills brings a glimmer of hope to fantasy managers. The Vikings will make a quarterback change after ruling out Kyler Murray (hamstring), whose welcome in Minnesota is already wearing thin. In his place steps veteran Carson Wentz, which is good news for Jefferson's fantasy output. The superstar receiver's best game of the season came with Wentz at the helm in Week 1, and the veteran QB peppered his top pass catcher with 50 targets in five starts last season. That is music to the ears of managers who roster Jefferson, who will see the switch in time to face a Bills defense that has allowed the fifth-most points to PPR receivers. The Vikings may still trade for another quarterback, but getting Jefferson more involved should be the No. 1 priority no matter who starts. For now, though, Jefferson is RotoBaller's No. 7 receiver this week, making him a WR1 in all formats.

Jameson Williams' Target Dip Puts His WR2 Status in Doubt

Sunday, November 8, 1:30 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams supplied Detroit's longest play in a 19-9 Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins and still finished with just 5.0 PPR points. His 31-yard catch in the third quarter set up Jahmyr Gibbs' rushing touchdown. Williams' only other target came on an incomplete deep throw to open the second quarter. He added nine yards on one carry. RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings had him at WR18. Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) played after three limited practices and drew 10 targets, while Sam LaPorta saw five. Jared Goff threw 25 passes and saw his streak of 30 games with a touchdown pass end. Williams had scored five times in Detroit's previous three games, including a touchdown on four catches for 70 yards against the Minnesota Vikings a week earlier. He drew 19 targets over that stretch before seeing a season-low two in Miami. Williams has caught four passes or fewer in six of eight games this season, leaving him as a volatile WR3 against the New England Patriots in Munich in Week 10.
