News: 4 days agoJefferson caught seven passes for 84 yards on 10 targets in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals on Saturday.

Spin: Jefferson saw rookie fellow wideout Jordan Addison lead the Vikings with 111 yards and two touchdowns on six catches, but Addison saw only six targets to Jefferson's 10. It was always a certainty that Jefferson would eventually get rolling again once he shook off the injury rust, and if he keeps seeing 10 targets per game then he will break out again very soon, perhaps as soon as against Detroit's mediocre cornerbacks in Week 16.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: No wide receiver has scored more fantasy points or produced more receiving yardage over the last two seasons than Jefferson. The 2020 first-round pick led all wide receivers in snaps, routes, targets, receptions, yards, fantasy points and top-10 fantasy weeks (nine) last season. Jefferson was fantasy's top-scoring WR despite some bad luck in the TD department (eight TDs, 10.4 expected), and he has ranked top 5 in end zone targets each of the last two seasons. The 24-year-old should be the first wide receiver off the board and is a strong option if you have the first overall pick in your draft.
