Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Tuesday, November 18, 11:33 AM

The Minnesota Vikings have been among the NFL's more disappointing teams in 2025, and superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson said getting back to winning again begins with him. As first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled, the Vikings have dropped to 4-6. Jefferson was visibly frustrated in a loss to Chicago on Sunday, but said that he aims to lead the turnaround. "As a team, as a captain, as a leader of this team, I have to be the first one out there. I have to be headfirst, leading us into that direction of winning, of being where we need to be," Jefferson said, according to The Athletic. While the Vikings have struggled and Jefferson is having a slightly down year by his standards, he's still the No. 13 overall PPR receiver. With Minnesota looking at a favorable schedule in the fantasy playoffs, managers have good reason to hope for a few big weeks at the best possible time.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken over as the team's lead back over the past two games with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. After playing fewer snaps than veteran Devin Singletary in Week 9 against the 49ers, Tracy took back the lead role in Week 10, playing 65.7% of the snaps and handling 14 carries for 71 yards, and added one reception (two targets) for no yards. The first half was a struggle for the second-year back, gaining zero yards on five carries, but he bounced back with a strong second half and should have some positive momentum rolling into Week 11 against the Packers. Tracy could catch more passes with a less mobile Jameis Winston filling in for an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion) on Sunday, and ranks as RotoBaller's RB24 in PPR leagues.
