News: 1 day agoJefferson corralled 10 of 13 targets for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over Seattle.

Spin: Jefferson dropped another standout performance that set a new high-water mark in receiving yards in addition to scoring his ninth and tenth touchdowns of the season. The superstar wideout put an exclamation point on the contest by taking the top off the Seahawks' secondary late in the fourth quarter for the game-winning score. After enduring a scoreless streak between Weeks 8 and 13, Jefferson has now rattled off five touchdowns over his last three starts. Managers will be excited to see what the fantasy stud has in store for next Sunday's divisional matchup against Green Bay.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jefferson enters his fifth season with the Vikings after missing significant time due to injury for the first time in his career last season. In his eight healthy games, Jefferson averaged 24 fantasy points per game and was one of only four wide receivers to have at least six games with 23 fantasy points in 2023. In a season where the Vikings started Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens, Joshua Dobbs and Jaren Hall, Jefferson proved himself QB-proof. This season he'll have Sam Darnold under center. While there could be some growing pains in this offense, Jefferson is one of the few WRs that can make magic happen with subpar QB play. He is once again a top-five fantasy wide receiver.
