Justin Jefferson Injury Update for Fantasy Football
The Vikings opted to use the entire practice window to activate their star wideout. Jefferson was working out for several weeks but team brass decided to wait until after the bye week to activate him, giving one of the best receivers in football an extra two weeks of rest.
Fantasy managers hope that the extra time away means he won't be a part-time player in his return.
Justin Jefferson Fantasy Football Outlook
While there are always concerns about a player coming back from a soft tissue injury, Jefferson should make an immediate return to fantasy football lineups across the board. The Vikings have been ultra-conservative with their star.
The All-Pro was the WR1 through the first four games of the 2023 campaign. Incredibly, after playing only 4.5 games, Jefferson has outscored wideouts like Christian Watson, Elijah Moore, Jerry Jeudy, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the season.
| Wide Receiver | PPR Scoring (Season) |
| Justin Jefferson | 109.1 |
| Tutu Atwell | 108.1 |
| Jaxon Smith-Njigba | 103.8 |
| Christian Watson | 101.3 |
| Elijah Moore | 100.2 |
| Jerry Jeudy | 95.1 |
There are questions about the quarterback position in Minnesota after Joshua Dobbs threw four interceptions their last time out. Dobbs, Nick Mullens, or Jaren Hall will get the starting nod. All three just need to look Jefferson's way for him to produce. He'll be open.
