Scouting report

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Las Vegas Raiders

Justin Jefferson is poised to make his return in Week 14. We haven't seen him play a full complement of snaps since October 1st but all indications are that he's a full-go.

He saw 47 targets in the first four weeks of the year and slots in as WR12 this week. Obviously his ceiling is massive and he's a must-start as long as he's on the field.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Chicago Bears

Justin Jefferson was placed on IR and will be out at least four weeks.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs Kansas City Chiefs

Justin Jefferson had just an average game in Week 4. "Only" six receptions on nine targets for 85 yards. He did manage two trips to the end zone to "save" his day.

There's not much to say about Jefferson, he and Tyreek Hill will likely be WR1 and WR2 every week until further notice.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Carolina Panthers

It's almost unfair just how easy Justin Jefferson makes things look. He fell short of three straight 150+ yard receiving days by one yard in Week 3. The Panthers aren't too scary from a matchup perspective either. They've allowed four different wide receivers to break 50 yards receiving.

Jefferson is our WR2 this week and is a must-start.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The consensus 1.01 from this summer is off to a solid start. Justin Jefferson is a victim of his own excellence. He's gone for 309 yards on 20 catches and is on pace for 170 catches for 2,600 yards. But, that's just what we expected, right? The only knock on him is that he's yet to find the end zone, but on this volume that will surely change.

There isn't a roster setup or a league where you wouldn't be starting him.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Philadelphia Eagles

Justin Jefferson is coming off a performance that, for anybody else, would be a career day. He tallied nine receptions on a dozen targets, racking up 150 yards on Sunday. Jefferson was on the field for 98% of the snaps and all of those trends should continue throughout the season.

Now, Jefferson gets a matchup with a depleted secondary on Thursday Night Football. We have him projected as the WR2 overall this week, just behind Tyreek Hill. This is a no-brainer, he should be in every lineup that you have him on your roster.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Justin Jefferson takes the field on Sunday looking to pick up where he's left off the last couple of seasons. He was the clear-cut 1.01 throughout draft season and he gets a Buccaneers defense that gave up 17 touchdowns to wide receivers last year. Jefferson was a target hog last season, earning double-digit targets in 10 games and never dipping below five in a given game.
