Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has landed on the injury list after some incredible performances over the past ten weeks. Jefferson was named the Offensive Player of the Week prior to the win against the Buffalo Bills last Sunday. The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Bills 30-33 to record their eighth win of the season and much of the credit goes to Justin Jefferson.
Justin Jefferson popped up on Wednesday's practice report with a toe injury and has been a limited participant in practice sessions since. Jefferson is suffering with a toe injury but will (barring any setbacks) play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. The receiver himself has said that his toe is fine and Vikings fans can breathe easier.
This is a green light for fantasy owners, as the star receiver is too good to bench. He is simply too important to the Vikings and if he is fit to play, he will doubtless see a lot of the ball.
Minnesota are an incredible 8-1 this season and will be hoping for another win this week. Justin Jefferson is among the best wide receivers in the league and the Vikings will start him against the Dallas Cowboys.
Potential replacements for Justin Jefferson
If Jefferson suffers a setback and misses the game, Adam Thielen will have an opportunity to be the WR1 for the Vikings. Thielen has played nine games so far and has recorded 43 receptions on 64 targets for 467 yards and two touchdowns.
In nine games, Jefferson has recorded 69 receptions for 1,060 yards and four touchdowns. He is on his way to having one of his best seasons in 2022.
If the worst were to happen to Jefferson, or you are in need of receiver support, here are some receivers that you may be able to stream in Week 11:
- Kadarius Toney
- Donavan Peoples-Jones
- George Pickens
- Parris Campbell
- Mack Hollins
- Jahan Dotson
- Noah Brown
- Allen Robinson
- Van Jefferson
