Justin Jefferson May Not Play A Full Game
2 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson enters the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears as the WR1 in fantasy scoring with 124 catches on 179 targets for 1,771 yards and eight touchdowns. He's also added a rushing score on four carries in 16 games. The Vikings can still move up to the NFC's No. 2 seed this weekend, but with little to gain, they are expected to eventually rest their starters in Sunday's tilt against the Bears. It means that Jefferson and the other offensive starters may only play a series or two in the first quarter. Because we have no idea how long Jefferson will be in the game, he becomes an incredibly risky fantasy starting option in Week 18 in both DFS and season-long leagues.
