This seems like week for Justin Jefferson to interrupt out of his stoop. He has an ideal matchup in opposition to Washington in Week 14, and Jefferson is due for a giant sport. However can we belief him?
The issue, as we’re effectively conscious, is the quarterback play for the Vikings, and J.J. McCarthy is again after lacking Week 12 at Seattle with a concussion. Max Brosmer began in opposition to the Seahawks, and it was a catastrophe, together with Jefferson being restricted to 2 catches for a career-low 4 yards on six targets.
Jefferson has now scored 11.1 PPR factors or much less in 4 video games in a row, and he solely has two touchdowns on the season. He is nonetheless getting loads of probabilities with at the least six targets in each sport this season, however they have not been high quality targets from McCarthy.
The perfect factor to do is deal with Jefferson as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver, however hopefully, he can carry out effectively in opposition to the Commanders, who’re No. 5 in most Fantasy factors allowed to opposing receivers. There have been 13 receivers with at the least 12.1 PPR factors in opposition to Washington, and I hope Jefferson reaches at the least that degree of manufacturing.
We’re clearly used to extra from Jefferson, however this has been a down season due to poor quarterback play. He can nonetheless flip issues round, beginning this week, however simply preserve expectations in examine for Jefferson till McCarthy begins to play higher for the Vikings — if that is attainable.
