Justin Jefferson Ruled Out for Week 4

Friday, October 2, 10:35 AM

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Jefferson suffered an ankle injury during Minnesota's Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that knocked him out of the game and prevented him from practicing in any capacity this week. Even while missing most of Week 3, the 27-year-old has recorded 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns on a team-high 17 targets so far this season. With Jefferson sidelined, Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison jumps up into borderline must-start territory, and veteran wideout Jauan Jennings becomes a semi-intriguing deep-league flex option. Minnesota tight end T.J. Hockenson could be a worthy tight end streamer for fantasy managers in a favorable matchup against Miami as well.

Jordan Addison Could See More Volume if Jefferson Misses Time

Wednesday, September 30, 5:16 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison could see a significant increase in targets following the injury to star receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle). In three games this season, Addison has hauled in seven of 16 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown, averaging just under seven half-PPR fantasy points per game. Despite his slow start, Jefferson suffered an ankle sprain and couldn't play through it in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his absence, Addison was very productive, hauling in five of nine targets for 90 yards and a touchdown. With the Vikings' bye week coming up in Week 6, Addison could be the focal point of the passing game if Jefferson can't return in Weeks 4 and 5. Fantasy managers will need to track Jefferson's practice status, as it will likely determine whether Addison can be started against the Miami Dolphins.
