Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen Dealing With Injuries
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receivers Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Adam Thielen (foot) were both listed as not practicing on Wednesday. Both players were a big part of the offense in the Week 5 win over the Detroit Lions, but they will be injuries to watch heading into Thursday's practice. Through five weeks, Jefferson currently ranks as the WR10 with 33 catches (45 targets) for 462 yards and three touchdowns. Thielen has 26 catches (37 targets) for only 267 yards, but he has scored four times to make him the WR20. They'll be facing a much-improved Carolina Panthers secondary in Week 6, but fantasy managers aren't taking either player out of their lineups when they are healthy. If one or both of them can't play this weekend, K.J. Osborn and Dede Westbrook would take on bigger roles in the passing game.
