MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Chicago Bears

81 feels like the magic number this season for Justin Jefferson. The star receiver now has eight games with at least 81 receiving yards. However, he has now gone four straight games without a touchdown after scoring in five of his first six games. He gets the Bears this week, who are allowing just 197.4 passing yards per game and are tied with the Lions in allowing the fewest passing touchdowns this season. But this is Justin Jefferson we're talking about, one of the few matchup-proof receivers in fantasy.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Tennessee Titans

Justin Jefferson's streak of 80+ receiving yards ended at seven games in last week's win over the Jaguars. That was due to the offense as a whole struggling but still coming away from the win. This week, he gets the Titans. Despite their 2-7 record, the Titans have been very good on defense, ranking 2nd in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. But this is still Justin Jefferson we're talking about. You're likely not benching him regardless.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Justin Jefferson is a stud. You knew that already. The numbers continue to prove it. Jefferson has back-to-back 100-yard games and has at least 80 yards in every game except Week 1. Expect that streak, if not both streaks, to continue Sunday against the Jaguars, the second-easiest matchup in our rankings this week.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Indianapolis Colts

With his second 100-yard day in Week 8, Justin Jefferson has hit at least 80 yards in all but one game this season (Week 1). On top of that, he has at least six catches in five straight games. Jefferson is matchup-proof but does have a good matchup against a bottom-ten passing defense in Indianapolis. No need to overthink JJ at this point.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Los Angeles Rams

Justin Jefferson has now reached 80 yards in five straight games and has scored in five of his six games played. He'll look to continue that stretch, maybe even post his second 100-yard game, Thursday against a middle-of-the-pack pass defense in the Rams and their vulnerable secondary. Jefferson is matchup-proof but it helps when it's a more favorable matchup like this week. Jefferson is our WR1 this week.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Detroit Lions

Justin Jefferson had 92 yards on six catches two weeks ago in London against the Jets before Minnesota's bye. He was also targeted 14 times, so take his line how you will. The Vikings also weren't as aggressive in the second half while playing with a lead. Still, Jefferson is seeing a healthy amount of targets -- per NFL Next Gen Stats, he is averaging a career-best 30.3% target-share rate. He's also reached at least 80 yards in four straight games. He takes that streak into a huge divisional game against the Lions. Jefferson is at least producing consistent numbers, keeping him as a solid WR1 in fantasy circles.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. New York Jets (in London)

It's maybe the best 1-on-1 matchup of the week: Vikings WR Justin Jefferson vs. Jets CB Sauce Gardner. Jefferson has hit at least 80 yards in three straight games and has scored a touchdown in all four games. The Vikings will test Gardner, but if any receiver can make some noise against him, it's Jefferson, who caught seven passes for 45 yards and a touchdown when these teams met two years ago.
