Justin Jefferson Disappoints With Just 44 Yards in Week 7 Victory

Sunday, October 25, 12:32 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson remains a must-start fantasy wideout despite being one of Week 7's biggest disappointments, catching four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He led Minnesota in targets and receiving yards but failed to record a reception in the second half, finishing with just 8.4 PPR fantasy points. The lackluster performance came against a Colts secondary missing standout cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf), making the limited production frustrating. Quarterback Kyler Murray completed only 14 of 24 passes for 150 yards, with his lone touchdown going to tight end T.J. Hockenson. Jefferson had entered the game following a six-catch, 79-yard, one-touchdown performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, but Minnesota's passing offense struggled to generate opportunities Sunday. He is still the Vikings' primary receiving option, although the team's modest passing volume continues to present challenges.

Rachaad White News

Rachaad White is a Decent Streaming Option for Week 8

Tuesday, October 27, 5:33 PM

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White is expected to remain the lead back ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fellow back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) is still on the Injured Reserve, so White should continue seeing a larger role in the backfield. In Week 6, White carried the ball seven times for 27 yards, but he did most of his damage in the receiving game. White hauled in four of his five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 27-year-old is a dual-threat back who could help needy fantasy managers in Week 8. There's probably not a ton of long-term value here with White, but he'll be a decent flex option for this weekend.
