From the video
Justin Jefferson did not practice. Freaking brutal for me. If Justin Jefferson misses, I am cooked chicken. But with that in mind, it makes sense for the Minnesota Vikings to hold him out of this game.
STACKED’s take
Missed practice; likely rested by Vikings; uncertain return; discount not attractive
Did not practice; likely to be held out by Minnesota Vikings given their heavy favorite status in the game. Vikings may rest Jefferson to preserve him for the long run despite being heavily favored. Later in the episode, source notes Jefferson is out, creating a roster gap at wide receiver; source expresses hope that Jefferson plays in the short term to help fill the void left by Travis Etienne's IR status. Source also references Jefferson's 2025 season as having been negatively impacted by JJ McCarthy's poor quarterback play, describing McCarthy as 'the worst quarterback in football' who 'ruined' Jefferson's season. Jefferson's injury status is uncertain heading into the week; source recommends waiting for the practice report before making trades that would leave you dependent on Jefferson as your wide receiver 2. Missing practice this week, source cites as a reason to likely avoid starting him this week despite having other phenomenal options available. If Jefferson plays, he will likely still be limited to a certain extent due to missing practice that week, suggesting he may not be at full capacity. Source indicates that while Jefferson may be available at a discount due to injury concerns, the specific trade offer (Taylor for Jefferson, Barkley, and Rome Adun) does not provide sufficient discount to justify acquiring Jefferson.
