Vikings Hopeful that Justin Jefferson Will Return in Week 5

Saturday, October 3, 5:25 AM

The Minnesota Vikings are "hopeful" that star wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) will make his return in Week 5, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Jefferson suffered the injury in Week 3 and has been ruled out for the Vikings' Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. However, Fowler reports that Jefferson's injury is "not a long-term issue." Across three games this season, the 27-year-old has recorded 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets. When healthy, Jefferson profiles as one of the best wide receivers in football and the clear number one option in the Minnesota passing game. Without him, Vikings wideouts Jordan Addison and Jauan Jennings should see larger workloads this week against Miami.

Malik Nabers News

Malik Nabers is Impressive in Week 4 Victory

Sunday, October 4, 6:53 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers put together his best game of the season during Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Nabers appears to be finally building some chemistry with quarterback Jameis Winston. The third-year wideout hauled in six of his seven targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in the win. The touchdown came on a 25-yard pass in the second quarter. The expectation was that Nabers would see his value decrease with Jaxson Dart (knee) done for the year. The 23-year-old might be okay with Winston tossing him deep balls. Nabers will have big-play upside against a shaky Washington Commanders defense in Week 5.
