FantasyPros Articles on Justin Jefferson
From the article
Justin Jefferson has played five games this season and hasn't had a big day since he had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers in Week 1. Jefferson's weekly fantasy finishes this season in half-point PPR scoring: WR3, WR40, WR72, WR15, WR36. Detroit got safety Brian Branch back from a torn Achilles last week, and the Lions did a reasonably good job of keeping QB Jordan Love and the explosive Green Bay passing game in check.
STACKED’s take
Jefferson inconsistent (WR3 to WR72 range); Lions' secondary improving with Branch, Joseph returns.
Jefferson has played five games this season (missed Week 4 with ankle injury) and has not had a big day since Week 1 when he had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers. His weekly finishes in half-point PPR: WR3, WR40, WR72, WR15, WR36. The Vikings face the Lions in Detroit in Week 8, which could be a get-right spot given Detroit's atrocious pass defense, but the Lions got safety Brian Branch back from a torn Achilles and kept Jordan Love in check in a 20-17 win over Green Bay. Lions safety Kirby Joseph (out all season with knee injury) returned to practice and could play Sunday. Vikings QB Kyler Murray is averaging 6.5 yards per pass attempt, has thrown three TD passes in four full games, and ranks 22nd in passer rating, which limits Jefferson's upside.
