Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson caught 6-of-14 targets for 92 yards in Minnesota’s Week 5 win over the Jets.

He fumbled his first target out of bounds. Sam Darnold was locked in on Jefferson deep for most of the game but the two simply couldn’t connect after Darnold’s magic from Weeks 1 to 4 disappeared and the Jets hung 61 penalty yards on Jefferson alone. Unfortunately those yards do not count for the purposes of fantasy football. Jefferson remains an elite WR1 as the Vikings head on their Week 6 bye, but Jefferson-reliant managers should be hoping the return of Bad Darnold was a one-week blip instead of a trend.
