Vikings WR Justin Jefferson went 8-101-0 on 11 targets in Week 18, catching passes from QBs J.J. McCarthy and Max Brosmer. That puts Jefferson at 85-1048-2 for the entire season. He had 141 targets on the season, only catching 60.3% of his targets on the year. It does mark his sixth straight season over 1,000 yards receiving. Despite the success, Jefferson will enter next season with uncertainty around the Vikings’ passing game.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (right hand) will start this weekend’s game vs. the Packers, HC Kevin O’Connell announced on Friday. It’ll be one more shot for McCarthy to build some momentum heading into the offseason, where he’ll likely face competition for the starting job. McCarthy gets a Green Bay defense that ranks 12th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs but is expected to rest some starters in this one.
