Justin Jefferson Only Targeted Four Times In Loss To Cowboys
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson entered Week 8 averaging 10 targets, seven catches and 90 yards per game. Facing a Dallas Cowboys defense that was 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, Jefferson was in line for a big game. However, he was only targeted four times and managed a season-low two catches for 21 yards. He was facing rookie standout Trevon Diggs most of the game, but the Vikings have to be able to get their star wide receiver more than four targets per game, no matter the matchup. Jefferson and the entire Vikings offense will look to get back on track in Week 9 against a Baltimore Ravens defense that ranks 32nd in pass defense.
