Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson caught 7-of-7 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings’ Week 14 win over the Falcons.

The scores, amazingly, were Jefferson’s first in seven weeks. He also got out-targeted 12-7 by Jordan Addison, who posted an 8/133/3 statline. Frustrating, though far less so when Jefferson himself finally goes off. Obviously perfect on his targets, Jefferson’s highlight was a 52-yard touchdown where he scrambled the defense so badly the nearest DB simply fell down. Jefferson literally walked into the end zone. Jefferson hasn’t reached 10 targets since before the Vikings’ Week 6 bye, but Addison’s re-emergence is at least creating space for Jefferson to get some wide-open looks again. He has 14 grabs on 16 targets over the past two weeks, piling up 231 yards in the process. That will do. Week 15 opponent Chicago has been stingy against the pass, but Jefferson will still be parked in the top five.
