PFF analyst gives Justin Jefferson fantasy managers a harsh dose of new reality

Related Topics: Justin Jefferson

Throughout his career, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been productive no matter who his quarterback has been. So as the team moved forward with J.J. McCarthy as their signal caller this year, Jefferson maintained his stock in fantasy football drafts as one of the first two or three wide receivers off the board.

Through Week 10, Jefferson is WR13 in full PPR scoring. He went without a touchdown from Week 2 through Week 8, but sheer target volume went a long way to sustaining him as WR14 over that span.

In McCarthy's first start back from an ankle injury, Week 9 against the Detroit Lions, Jefferson got off the scoring schneid along with a 36 percent target share (nine targets on 25 pass attempts).
