Justin Jefferson sets statistical goals before every season.
But the Vikings star receiver's strained right hamstring has forced him to personally reroute.
"That was the goal — to get to at least close to 2,000 [yards]," Jefferson said Thursday. "But since I got hurt, the new goal is 1,000. Of course, I want to end every single year over 1,000 yards."
Jefferson, who ends a seven-game absence on Sunday against the Raiders, can achieve 1,000 with 429 yards in the final five games. That's doable if he maintains close to the 114-yard weekly pace he set in five weeks before the injury.
