Another 100-Yard Week For Vikings WR Justin Jefferson

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.
