Justin Jefferson Goes Off In Vikings' Comeback Against Packers

Sunday, September 13, 5:14 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson helped lead the charge in Minnesota's second-half barrage of Green Bay, logging eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns, one of which was a game-clinching leap to the pylon for a score in the fourth quarter. The superstar receiver performed well despite yet another quarterback change -- Kyler Murray (head) played fewer than 10 minutes before an illegal hit knocked him out of the game -- connecting with backup Carson Wentz for both scores and a two-point conversion as the Vikings rallied for 29 unanswered points to win 39-22. Fantasy managers who drafted Jefferson had to be encouraged to see the receiver look like himself again, drawing nine targets and not missing a beat when Wentz came into the game. The Vikings' unending quarterback drama is worth monitoring, but Jefferson should have a favorable matchup against Chicago in Week 2 no matter who's throwing the ball.

Omarion Hampton News

Omarion Hampton Disappoints in Upset Loss

Sunday, September 13, 7:36 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had 12 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old was a non-factor in the passing game and had zero targets out of the backfield. Hampton started the game with a nine-yard rushing touchdown to cap off a 77-yard drive. However, he went from hero to zero on the next drive after fumbling the football that led to a Cardinals field goal. In a favorable matchup, Hampton only garnered 9.3 fantasy points and will likely finish outside the top 30 running backs in PPR leagues. Hampton will look to bounce back next week at home against a Las Vegas Raiders defense that only allowed 74 rushing yards in their home opener.
