MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Justin Jefferson has had some huge games in 2022 but his Week 10 performance against the Bills topped them all. Jefferson toasted Buffalo's strong defense for a 10-193-1 line on 16 targets. One of his 10 receptions was an all-time great catch where he snagged the ball out of a defender's clutches with one hand and somehow kept it from hitting the ground with virtually no leverage whatsoever. Oh, and the catch converted a critical 4th-and-18 to extend Minnesota's drive. Jefferson and the Vikings get a somewhat difficult matchup against Trevon Diggs and the Cowboys this week, but Diggs has been prone to allowing big plays at times and Jefferson clearly has the ability to overcome any matchup concerns. Jefferson is one of the best playmakers in the NFL regardless of position and is an every-week top-five WR option in fantasy.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Buffalo Bills
Justin Jefferson finally returned to the end zone (through the air) in Week 9 on his way to a 7-115-1 line on 13 targets. Jefferson ranks seventh amongst wide receivers in target share at 30%, and he's currently sitting at fourth in receptions and second in receiving yards through nine weeks of the season. Jefferson gets one of his tougher matchups this week as the Vikings have to travel to Buffalo to face the Bills' elite defense. It would help Jefferson's projection if Josh Allen suits up for the Bills, which would set that game up to be a potentially high-scoring affair. Regardless of who plays Sunday, Jefferson is a weekly WR1 who should always be started regardless of matchup.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Washington Commanders
Justin Jefferson's 6-98-0 line in Week 8 was a relatively quiet performance for one of fantasy's best wide receivers. That just goes to show what kind of floor Jefferson has as an elite talent who commands a 30% target share from Kirk Cousins. In Week 9 Jefferson and the Vikings will travel to Washington to take on the Commanders and their terrible pass defense. Jefferson should have no issues getting separation against the post-trade deadline remnants of Washington's secondary, and he is due for some serious touchdown regression at this point as both of his receiving scores came way back in Week 1 (he has ran a touchdown in since then). Week 9 presents a great matchup for Jefferson to find the end zone again through the air, and he sets up as a high-end WR1 as usual against the Commanders.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Justin Jefferson comes off the Vikings' bye week on a streak of three straight 100-yard games and now gets to tee off on the Cardinals' soft secondary in Week 8. Jefferson's fantasy season has been a smashing success so far outside of two slow games, and he currently ranks fifth in receptions and third in receiving yards amongst wide receivers even having already had his bye week. Jefferson's 30% target share against Arizona's corners adds up to a massive projection this week. There really isn't much more to say. Keep Jefferson in lineups as your WR1 and enjoy the show.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Miami Dolphins
Justin Jefferson finished as Week 5's WR2 without scoring a touchdown, a testament to his 12 catches on 13 targets for 154 yards. Jefferson threw up duds in Weeks 2-3, but in his other three games he has yet to finish lower than the weekly WR2 in fantasy as he attracts a massive 30% target share from Kirk Cousins and continues to cook cornerbacks. Jefferson's 547 receiving yards leads the league and his 55 targets and 40 receptions both rank second. Jefferson has impressively gained 188 of his yards after the catch, which is good for fourth among WRs. The Dolphins have been average at best against opposing WRs this season, meaning they are likely to have serious issues keeping a lid on Jefferson. Jefferson is a weekly contender for the best receiver play in all of fantasy and is a no-doubt WR1 in all formats.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Chicago Bears
Now that's more like it. After two slow weeks, Justin Jefferson cooked Marshon Lattimore and the Saints for 147 yards on ten catches to go along with a rushing touchdown on an end-around near the goal line. It was easy to be frustrated by Jefferson's Week 3 and 4 performances, but managers need to realize that Jefferson has finished as the weekly WR1 in his other two games. The list of fantasy players who have Jefferson's weekly ceiling is very short. He now ranks fifth in receptions and receiving yards, sixth in yards after the catch, and sixth in red zone targets. Jefferson will line up against a Chicago secondary in Week 5 that has nobody capable of putting clamps on him downfield. Jefferson is an obvious WR1 start and has massive upside against the Bears.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. New Orleans Saints (London)
After an explosive Week 1, Justin Jefferson has recorded two straight slow outings as the Vikings offense has fallen back to Earth in Weeks 2 and 3. Even so, Jefferson still has 29 targets through three games, good for a 27% share of Kirk Cousins' attempts. That number should be around Jefferson's floor for target share and he has a great chance to bounce back this week against the Saints, who have gotten off to a rough start in 2022 and bring a mediocre pass defense with them to London. Look for Kevin O'Connell and the Minnesota coaching staff to make some adjustments to move Jefferson away from Marshon Lattimore and get him back on track for WR1 numbers in Week 4.
