Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Rondale Moore

Tuesday, January 14, 12:12 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson brought in 5-of-8 targets for 58 yards in his team's Wild Card loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The fantasy stalwart tied fellow wideout Jordan Addison for the team lead in targets but was mostly shut down by a stingy Rams defense. It was a rough day for the entire Vikes' offense, as quarterback Sam Darnold had trouble connecting with any of his pass catchers, even when he wasn't in the grass. Jefferson caught his last pass of the contest with just over three minutes to go in the first half. The superstar wideout had another excellent season, but he'll undoubtedly be left wanting more after a near first-round bye. At this time, it is difficult to tell who the 25-year-old's signal-caller will be in 2025. However, he'll still likely be chosen amongst the first few picks in next Summer's fantasy drafts.

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Wednesday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee). Moore will stay in the NFC after signing with the Atlanta Falcons last offseason. Unfortunately, he didn't end up playing at all after suffering a season-ending knee injury during a joint training camp practice in the summer. The 24-year-old former second-round selection (49th overall) by the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 out of Purdue caught just 135 passes for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns on 182 targets in 39 games (23 starts) in his first three years in the NFL with Arizona and will now head to Minnesota to provide receiving depth. Fantasy-wise, this is probably one of the worst possible landing spots for the speed 5-foot-7 wideout, as he'll be the WR4, at best, behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor.
