BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: Minnesota's star wide receiver Justin Jefferson was removed from the team's final Week 14 injury report on Friday and is set to return to action against the Las Vegas Raiders this week. The consensus No. 1 overall fantasy draft pick of 2023, Jefferson has been sidelined since Week 5 of the season with a hamstring injury that landed him on IR.

He returns from the lengthy layoff to find Joshua Dobbs at the helm of the Minny passing attack. While Dobbs is certainly a downgrade from Kirk Cousins, he's proven himself a competent enough passer to deliver Jefferson the ball with regularity against a Raiders secondary that's allowed 2,000 receiving yards to opposing wideouts this season.
There's no need for Jefferson's long-suffering fantasy managers to overthink this one...your main man is back, fire him up as a no-brainer WR1 this week.
