Vikings WR Justin Jefferson managed only 3 catches in Sunday night's blowout loss to the Falcons. Jefferson turned the 3 grabs into 81 scoreless yards.
The Vikings once again presented low pass volume. J.J. McCarthy was under pressure all night and fired off only 21 passes, despite the 16-point loss.
Jefferson’s lone highlight turned up a nifty bit of route running, as he broke free for a 50-yard catch and run just before halftime.
Ultimately, it’s been a tough two-game stretch for Jefferson. McCarthy has struggled outside of one quarter against Chicago. And now, the WR will catch passes from Carson Wentz following McCarthy’s knee injury.
Wentz hasn't been a full-time starter since 2021. And he hasn't been a full-time starter since 2021. The now 32-year-old certainly doesn't project as an asset going forward.
Also note: Jordan Addison is eligible to return from suspension in Week 4.
Continue rolling out Jefferson as a fantasy starter. Just keep WR1 expectations in check.
