STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Jefferson targeted once in second half vs Colts despite missing Indy cornerbacks.

Despite being the primary reason Kyler Murray was brought to Minnesota, Jefferson's usage has been limited in early games together. Against Indianapolis in Week 7, Jefferson recorded only four catches for 44 yards and was targeted just once in the second half, even though the Colts were missing star cornerback Sauce Gardner and two other top-three corners due to injuries. This mirrors concerns from the previous season about the Vikings' offense failing to get Jefferson involved consistently.
