The Vikings are listing WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) as questionable for Monday’s game against the Bears.

The Vikings have done so for the last three weeks now but have yet to activate Jefferson from injured reserve. The deadline for Minnesota to do so is Wednesday. The question is whether the Vikings will activate him this weekend to play Monday or wait until Tuesday or Wednesday. The Vikings have their bye in Week 13, so the Vikings can choose to sit Jefferson one more game and give him two more weeks of rest before playing in Week 14.

Justin Jefferson said his hamstring recovery is going well and that he has reached top speeds during practice. He wasn’t ready to say if he thinks he can play Monday night tho. “If I’m feeling good, I will play,” he said. More to come.

Addison and Hockenson should continue to be started in all lineups. As for Jefferson managers, hopefully we can survive long enough to get him back in our fantasy playoff lineups.

Justin Jefferson is not expected to play on Monday Night Football in Week 12 against the Bears because of his hamstring, per a team source. The Vikings are not going to push their best player to get back on the field despite the fact that they are in the playoff hunt. This all makes sense as it will give the receiver two more weeks of rest from game action, thanks to the Vikings being on their bye in Week 13.

Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson has not played since Oct. 8 when he injured his right hamstring in a game against the Chiefs.

He has practiced the past two weeks on a limited basis but was questionable for the past two games and didn’t play.

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said Jefferson is considered questionable for Monday Night Football, too.

O'Connell went on to say Jefferson had a really good week last week and the extra day could work in Jefferson's favor as well. As the story went on to say, the Vikings want to “be smart” with the soft-tissue injury, something Jefferson himself said he would do. Jefferson noted that hamstring injuries can linger and come back, so he won’t push to return until the leg is fully healed, the story went on to say. The uncertainty and the game being on Monday night won't help owners who would love to get Jefferson back in fantasy lineups. The best plan would to play Jefferson in your flex spot and try to have a capable replacement ready to go if Jefferson is out again. Adam Schefter has mentioned a logical return for Jefferson could be after the team's Week 14 bye.

The Vikings did not activate wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, meaning he will not play Sunday against the Broncos.

The Vikings will continue to roll with Jordan Addison at the top while Jefferson gets more time to recover from his hamstring injury, which can always be tricky. The Vikings can choose to activate him for Week 12, a Monday night game against the Bears, or they can wait and give Jefferson two more weeks to recover. The Vikings have their bye in Week 13 and have until the 29th to activate Jefferson. Their Week 12 game is November 27.

Jefferson was trending in the right direction, but we were hoping for a full practice out of him on Friday. If he misses again, Addison and Hockenson should continue to control much of Joshua Dobbs' target share.

As for Mattison, Ty Chandler could be taking a heavy workload in his absence, making him a low-end RB2.

Jefferson is trending in the right direction, but we'll likely need to see a full practice designation on Friday for the hope of him playing in Week 11. We'll keep an eye on the situation.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson will not play Sunday against the Saints.

Jefferson was originally questionable to play but the Vikings have decided not to activate him from injured reserve. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said it would be a "stretch" for Jefferson to play this week. Jordan Addison will continue to be among those leading the charge with Jefferson still out but the Saints come in with a good defense. Addison is still a WR2 this week.

Vikings’ WR Justin Jefferson — who has missed the past four games due to a hamstring injury — said he can’t yet put a date on when he might return. He said he wants to be 100 percent before he returns, but also still calls himself day to day.

Getting Jefferson back in the lineup ahead of the fantasy playoffs would be incredible for managers who have had him idling in their IR spot. Regardless of quarterback, JJ will have to be in fantasy lineups on a Vikings team that is still eligible for a playoff berth in real football.

The practice window for Vikings star WR Justin Jefferson is being opened this week, sources say, as he now has 21 days to be activated. This does not mean he’ll play this week. But he’s on his way back from the hamstring injury that landed him on Injured Reserve.
