Wet Weather Keeps Lid On Justin Jefferson, Vikings Pass Game

Sunday, September 20, 12:43 PM

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson led all pass catchers Sunday at Chicago by accumulating 55 yards on three catches, mostly a byproduct of a run-first game script during poor weather conditions in the upper Midwest. Minnesota held on to win 9-3, though neither side scored a touchdown or threw for 200 yards. That meant quiet offensive days for everyone, including Jefferson, who still led the team with six targets despite the Vikings throwing only 20 times. On the positive side for fantasy managers, Minnesota is likely to see the return of quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) in Week 3 at Tampa, which should provide more opportunities in the passing game.

Jordan Addison Brings Risk, But Opportunity, To Week 2 Lineups

Friday, September 18, 12:41 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison should be considered a volatile WR4 option in Week 2, albeit one facing an excellent matchup against the Chicago Bears. Despite the Vikings scoring 39 points in Week 1, the fourth-year receiver didn't record a catch on just two targets. The Vikings also will be starting backup quarterback Carson Wentz again, as Minnesota already ruled out starter Kyler Murray (concussion). The Bears' defense, however, ranks 29th in air yards allowed and surrendered 351 yards passing to Carolina last week. While Addison is always in fellow receiver Justin Jefferson's shadow, the circumstances suggest a few high-value targets could be coming Addison's way this week. Managers who played Addison in Week 1 can't be faulted for feeling like Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football again, but the matchup is favorable enough that Addison is at least worthy of consideration for a flex spot, especially in deeper formats.
