Justin Jefferson Returns To Practice
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (shoulder) returned to practice on a limited basis Monday. He sprained the AC joint on his left shoulder on August 6 but logged a limited session on Monday. According to head coach Mike Zimmer, Jefferson's injury wasn't severe, and he could suit up in the Vikings' next preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his practice participation throughout the week. The 22-year-old had an impressive rookie campaign, hauling in 88 receptions on 125 targets for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns across 16 games in 2021. The Vikings star wideout had 26% of the team's targets and averaged 11.4 air yards per target. Jefferson should be all systems go for Minnesota's season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, and managers can draft him as a WR1 with confidence in upcoming fantasy drafts.
