Justin Jefferson Heavily Targeted by Replacement Quarterback During Loss

Friday, October 24, 12:29 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his 11 targets for 74 yards during Thursday's Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jefferson was heavily targeted by quarterback Carson Wentz, who made yet another start in place of the injured J.J. McCarthy (ankle). The star receiver had a relatively modest showing by his standards, finishing with fewer than 75 yards for the first time since Week 1. He remains Wentz's No. 1 target, but his upside is capped when the offense struggles to stay on the field. Jefferson will look to bounce back as a solid WR1 against the Detroit Lions in Week 9, especially if McCarthy can return from his five-game absence.

Malik Nabers Still Awaiting Surgery, 2026 Timeline Unclear

Thursday, October 23, 2:16 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is yet to undergo surgery to repair his torn ACL he suffered in the team's September 28 matchup with the Giants. Nearly a month after the injury, it appears doctors are still waiting on swelling to subside before operating on the superstar receiver. Prior to his injury, Nabers appeared in four games, catching 18 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns. The former sixth overall pick should be ready for the 2026 preseason, but further delays to surgery could make his timeline unclear moving forward. Nabers has WR1 potential moving forward, despite the emergence of Wan'Dale Robinson in the Giants' offense.
