Justin Jefferson Torches Seahawks Secondary In Victory

Justin Jefferson Torches Seahawks Secondary In Victory

4 months ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 10-of-13 targets, amassing 144 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks. Jefferson was open all afternoon against a Seahawks defense that had no answer for him. Despite four receptions of seven yards or fewer, the 25-year-old had long gains of 19, 27, and 39 yards -- the last of which was an acrobatic grab that ended in six points. The LSU product has five touchdowns over his previous three games and two outings of over 130 yards in that frame. After a brief cold stretch in the middle of the season, the superstar wideout has returned to form for the fantasy playoffs. He'll get a stiffer test next Sunday in Week 17 with a home rematch against the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay had allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers leading up to Week 16. Still, Jefferson scored 20.5 fantasy points against them earlier this year and is a no-doubt WR1.
