Justin Jefferson Snags Seven Passes In Come-From-Behind Win
2 mins agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 7-of-9 targets for 99 yards in his team's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. The fifth-year wideout was held to just two receptions and 32 yards during the first two frames as Minnesota's drives stalled near Arizona's red zone. He came alive in the second half, though, commanding another seven targets and drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty. His highlight of the day was a 30-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter that put him over 1,000 yards on the season -- making him just the fourth player in NFL history to amass at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of their first five seasons. Incredible. Jefferson has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 14. He'll get an Atlanta Falcons squad that gave up an average of 38.3 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position heading into this weekend -- the fifth-most in the NFL.
