Justin Jefferson Expects To Play Sunday
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), who missed practice on Wednesday, said he will be limited on Thursday and expects to play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers got a little spooked on Wednesday with his missed practice, but fret not, the 22-year-old should remain glued to all starting fantasy lineups this weekend. Jefferson has scored in three of five games so far in 2021 and is coming off a seven-catch, 124-yard performance in Week 5's win over the Detroit Lions. Heading into this weekend, Jefferson ranks as the WR10 in fantasy with 33 catches on 45 targets for 462 yards and three touchdowns. He'll be facing an improved Panthers secondary, but you aren't benching Jefferson unless he's inactive.
