Shark Bites

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that, "as of now," WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is questionable for next Monday night's game vs. the Bears. "It's one of those things that knowing you have the bye, and knowing there are five critical (games) to come after that bye, we do have to be smart," O'Connell said. It sure sounds like Minnesota is leaning toward holding Jefferson out for one more game and bringing him back after the Week 13 bye. We'll keep you updated on the situation throughout the week.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell doesn't expect there to be any restrictions on WR Justin Jefferson in his first game back from his hamstring injury. "I don’t see any restrictions as far as his ability to go out there and function and play," O'Connell said, adding that he's "expecting to have Justin out there a lot on Sunday.” That doesn't necessarily mean that Jefferson will play a full slate of snaps vs. the Raiders. But, at minimum, we expect him to be out there for the vast majority of pass plays. You'd need to be absolutely loaded at WR to consider keeping Jefferson out of your Week 14 fantasy lineup.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. The Vikings have seemingly been extra cautious bringing Jefferson back from this injury, so we’re expecting him to be a full-go on Sunday. Jefferson sits in must-start territory in our Week 14 WR Rankings.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's confirmation that he's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders -- and play his usual role. QB Josh Dobbs, who struggled last time out, adds some risk to Jefferson's profile. But he sits inside the top 10 in our Week 14 WR Rankings.

The Vikings are activating WR Justin Jefferson from IR. He's been out since Week 5 with a hamstring injury but should be ready to play after the team's Week 13 bye. We'll see who's playing QB when Minnesota returns.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) will not play vs. the Bears tonight, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Jefferson is "very close," per Pelissero, but the Vikings will continue to play it safe and hold him out through the Week 13 bye. "Jefferson is expected to be 100% after the bye, practice fully, and play Dec. 10 at Las Vegas," Pelissero adds. Fantasy teams that are all but assured a playoff spot at this point should take one more running at trading for Jefferson this week. He should be an easy WR1 from Week 14 on.
