Justin Jefferson News
Friday, September 4, 6:15 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is expected to have improved quarterback play this season after Kyler Murray was named the team's Week 1 starter. Jefferson endured a revolving quarterback carousel of J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer last year, making it impossible for him to reach his full potential in fantasy football. Prior to last year, the only time Jefferson had finished lower than WR6 in fantasy football was the season he missed seven games. However, that trend changed in 2025 as he was healthy for all 17 games but still fell to WR21. The poor quarterback play resulted in him catching 84 passes for 1,048 yards and just two touchdowns. Murray may not be the long-term answer in Minnesota, but he should at least be an upgrade over last year's quarterbacks while helping Jefferson get back into the top-10 receiver range for fantasy football. As it stands, Jefferson ranks as RotoBaller's WR6 in redraft leagues. He is consistently being drafted at the one/two turn in fantasy leagues, which makes him the sixth receiver off the board.

TreVeyon Henderson News
Saturday, September 5, 10:44 AM
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was not present for the media-access portion of Saturday's practice, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Henderson has not practiced since injuring his right ankle on Aug. 24. A report late last month said he had avoided a serious injury and was expected to be ready for Week 1, but the second-year back still has not made it onto the field with New England's opener four days away. Henderson ran for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries as a rookie, adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another score. The Patriots will issue their first injury report of the season later Saturday, which should give a clearer picture of where Henderson stands for Wednesday night's game in Seattle.
