        Week 15 Overview

        Jefferson is coming off another dud. The good news? QB J.J. McCarthy had one of his best games as a pro last week, completing 70% of his passes with 3 TDs vs. 0 INTs. The better news? Sunday night brings a matchup against Dallas' 32nd-ranked WR defense. If you've survived Jefferson's cold streak, stick with him in fantasy lineups for this one.

        Is It Time To Have A Difficult Conversation About Justin Jefferson?

        Is It Time To Have A Difficult Conversation About Justin Jefferson?

        The Vikings may have shut out the Commanders 31-0, but star WR Justin Jefferson made minimal impact on the Vikings' win. Jefferson caught two of four targets for 11 yards -- his third game in a row with fewer than 9 PPR points. Jefferson is now averaging 12.1 PPR points per game, by far the lowest of his career. A first-round pick in most fantasy drafts, the question now is, can we even afford to start Jefferson during the fantasy playoffs?

        Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that QB J.J. McCarthy is symptom-free and expected to clear concussion protocol on Wednesday. Barring a setback, he'll be under center for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. QB Max Brosmer was predictably a disaster in Seattle yesterday, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt with four INTs on 30 passes. So we can't call McCarthy's return bad news for the offense, but this remains a unit to have very little faith in. The matchup is at least good against a Commanders team sitting 30th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs and 26th vs. WRs.

        Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was limited to 4 yards on 2 catches in Sunday's loss at Seattle. Jefferson’s now managed only one TD over his past 11 outings.
