MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Seattle Seahawks

Two straight games with a touchdown and three straight games with seven catches. Justin Jefferson is on a hot streak and, let’s be honest. You’re not benching Jefferson for the playoffs anyway. It also helps that Seattle is a favorable matchup, as Seattle ranks 20th in fantasy against wide receivers. Jefferson is matchup-proof, especially in the playoffs.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Chicago Bears

Justin Jefferson got in the fun during Minnesota's offensive explosion last week against the Falcons, catching seven passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. The crazy part is he didn't even lead the team. Jordan Addison had an 8-133-3 line. JJ will look to keep his roll going against the Bears on Sunday, a team that held Jefferson to just 27 yards in Week 12. Jefferson should fare much better this time around.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Justin Jefferson was one yard away from his 4th 100-yard game this season. He caught 7 passes for 99 yards in Minnesota's comeback win over the Cardinals. That notched his 5th straight 1,000-yard season to start his career, only the 4th player ever to do so. The bad news is his touchdown drought extended to six games. He's got a chance to end that drought this week against the Falcons. Atlanta ranks 21st in passing defense and only six teams have allowed more passing touchdowns than Atlanta's 21.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Despite the overall mess the Bears are in, the one silver lining they have is their secondary is pretty darn good. Just ask Justin Jefferson, who was held to just 27 yards on two catches. It was only the third time this season Jefferson had less than 80 receiving yards. His scoreless streak also reached five games. Minnesota got Jordan Addison and T.J, Hockenson more involved as a result while Sam Darnold threw for 330 yards. JJ will look to get back on track this week against the Cardinals, who are allowing almost 25 fantasy points per game (half-PPR) to wide receivers but are tied for 6th with the Bills and Vikings by allowing just 22 passing touchdowns. Jefferson is still a top option and a weekly play, but last week was a reminder that anything can happen, positively or negatively.

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.
