Even if Justin Jefferson is not likely to play Monday night, as The Athletic’s Dianna Russini has reported, it’s worth considering how he’ll steady the Vikings offense when he returns.
“We’re going to weigh the options correctly, making sure that I’m feeling well and prepared to play a game,” Jefferson said this week. “And if I’m feeling good, I will play.”
The Vikings and Jefferson deployed a long-term approach with his hamstring strain from the outset of his injury, and as we all know by now he doesn't care about our fantasy teams. He and the team are prioritizing his health above all other factors. Jefferson is expected to return soon, though, and it seems like the plan all along as been to come back after the team's Week 13 bye. He is officially questionable for Monday night’s matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium against the Chicago Bears. The Vikings sit at 6-5.
