Justin Jefferson Looks To Continue Hot Streak In Week 17
2 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to continue his hot stretch of play in Week 17 against the Packers, who he dominated for 184 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. The third-year stud is chasing history in the last two weeks of the season, as the single-season receiving yards record held by Calvin Johnson Jr. is within his reach. Jefferson has seen 47 targets in his past three games, which has turned into 35 receptions for 479 yards. This stretch of play has led to him having at least 11 receptions and 120 receiving yards in three straight games, with one of those performances being a franchise-record 223 yards. There is no reason to believe Jefferson won't be heavily involved in the offense once again this week, which makes him potentially the most valuable asset in PPR formats for the fantasy championship. Fantasy managers can feel confident starting him as their WR1.
