Justin Jefferson Finds End Zone In Week 3

Sunday, September 24, 8:45 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his 13 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown in the team's 28-24 loss to the Chargers in Week 3. Jefferson found the end zone for the first time this season, as he and quarterback Kirk Cousins connected on a 52-yard pass to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Jefferson has been on a roll to start his fourth season, as he has amassed 458 receiving yards through the team's first three games. He will remain one of the most valuable assets in fantasy football moving forward as he looks to keep it rolling in Week 4 versus the Panthers.

Michael Pittman Jr. News

Michael Pittman Jr. Has Solid Showing On Sunday

Sunday, September 10, 5:36 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. looked fantastic during the Week 1 loss to Jacksonville. The wideout was targeted 11 times on the day, hauling in eight catches for 97 yards. He also scored, finding the end zone off a 39-yard pass from Anthony Richardson in the third quarter. Many were down on Pittman entering the season, especially with a rookie under center. While fantasy managers shouldn't routinely expect this type of production from the 25-year-old, he may be better than expected throughout the 2023-24 campaign.
