MINWR • #18

Justin Jefferson caught 6-of-8 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings’ Week 4 win over the Packers.

It was a strong all-around fantasy effort on an afternoon where it looked like it wasn’t going to happen. Jordan Addison (twice) and Josh Oliver scored to put the Vikings up 21-0 early in the second quarter, threatening pass-friendly game script. Jefferson thankfully found the end zone himself 10 minutes later, and despite entering halftime with just two catches for 19 yards, ended up with a strong PPR effort thanks to a Packers comeback. Jefferson has yet to really “go off” yet this season, but he’s scored in all four games and has yet to post fewer than 4/59. He’s cleared 80 yards each of the past three weeks. The eruption is coming, just probably not in week 5 against the Jets.
