Vikings WR Justin Jefferson misses second straight practice

Craig Peters

Oct 01 · 7:20 PM EDT

Jefferson did not practice Thursday because of the ankle sprain he suffered in Week 3, giving him consecutive DNPs to begin the week.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell previously called Jefferson day-to-day and said he was improving, but added that Minnesota would not rush him back until he could play like himself. Friday’s practice and final designation will provide the clearest

Fantasy Impact:

Consecutive absences put Jefferson’s availability in legitimate doubt, although a limited Friday practice could keep him on track to play. Because Minnesota kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET, managers should identify a late-window alternative before Sunday. Addison would become a strong WR2 if Jefferson sits, with Hockenson positioned for additional targets. Jennings, Felton and Price would compete for the remaining WR reps, but none would immediately become a dependable season-long option. Jennings and Felton would carry some deep-league and DFS appeal.

Vikings rule out Kyler Murray; Carson Wentz to start

Vikings

Sep 18 · 6:24 PM EDT

Kyler Murray has been ruled out against Chicago after failing to clear the concussion protocol. Carson Wentz will start, with J.J. McCarthy serving as Minnesota’s backup.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell expects Murray to clear the protocol next week.

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz is an emergency Superflex option in a road matchup against Chicago. His presence lowers the ceiling of Minnesota’s passing game, but Jefferson remains a must-start WR1. Addison and Hockenson carry more efficiency risk than usual. The positive outlook for next week suggests Murray may only miss one game.

Panthers trade WR Adam Thielen to Vikings in pick swap

Adam Schefter

Homecoming: Panthers and Vikings are finalizing a trade for WR Adam Thielen to return to Minnesota, sources tell ESPN.

The trade: Vikings get Thielen, a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

Panthers get a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Thielen starred for the Vikings from 2013-2022. Now he returns.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a good move to ease J.J. McCarthy into the league with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three games. Thielen is heading into his age-35 (!!) season and doesn't offer nearly the run-after-catch ability as he did in his heyday, but he can operate as a consistent option for the young QB. He's unlikely to hit double-digit targets as he did a couple times last year with JJ and T.J. Hockenson around, but he could be playable for desperate deep-league managers.

Back in Carolina, this helps clear the runway for Jalen Coker to operate as the Panthers' primary slot option after a pretty impressive rookie season for a UDFA. He's an interesting stash.

Vikings trying to trade for WR Adam Thielen

Vikings and Panthers have tried to work out a trade for Carolina WR Adam Thielen.

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter's post said Thielen would like to return to Minnesota, but the two sides continue to struggle to agree on compensation. The Vikings could use help at WR with Addison suspended. Thielen would likely be the team's WR3 when at full strength in a couple of weeks, probably pushing Nailor down the depth chart. In Carolina, Thielen could be considered the team's WR2, but if he departs Legette likely takes that role behind McMillan with Coker moving up to the team's WR3 role. Whatever the hurdles seem to be, one would think this deal gets done at some point.
