The Minnesota Vikings suffered a loss in the NFC wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams in a game moved to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. due to the terrible Southern California wildfires situation.

RB Cam Akers chipped in with 39 rushing yards, while WR T.J. Hockenson had five grabs for a game-high 64 yards and a touchdown.

TE Johnny Mundt had two catches for 28 yards, too.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson led the NFL with 47 receptions and 1,106 receiving yards on passes that traveled 10 or more yards in the air.
Huddle Up: Jefferson topped 1,500 yards for the third time in the last four years, and he tied a career high with 10 touchdowns. He is one of the top receiving options for fantasy contests, and he will be a potential top-five pick in 2025 drafts.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson had three receptions for 54 yards in a Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was targeted a game-high nine times.
Huddle Up: With Sam Darnold under constant pressure, Jefferson picked a bad time to play below his usual All-Pro standards. He dropped a would-be touchdown at the back of the end zone and later had a ball punched out -- it was originally ruled a fumble but then was changed to an incompletion. Jefferson posted an 8-115-0 effort against the Rams back in October, and he'll be looking to get back on track after his Week 18 struggles. He's a high-end WR1 in DFS leagues for Wild Card Weekend.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson caught 10 of his 13 targets for 144 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Jefferson is always a threat to deliver big numbers, and over the last three games, he has amassed 349 yards and five touchdowns. He is delivering one of his best stretches when fantasy owners need him the most.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson ended up with seven catches for a team-high 73 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: After going without a touchdown in six straight games from Weeks 8 through 13, Jefferson has scored three touchdowns in the previous two games. He has exactly seven receptions in each of the past three games, too. He'll look to keep things rolling against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson caught seven passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He was targeted seven times during the game.
Huddle Up: Jefferson had gone six straight games without a touchdown but was able to find it twice against the Falcons. He picked up his fourth 100-yard game of the season this week and is a must-start option in all leagues.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson ended up with seven receptions for a game-high 99 yards on nine targets in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Huddle Up: Jefferson had his best receiving yardage total in nearly a calendar month, but his streak without a touchdown is now at six straight games. He'll look to re-discover the end zone in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson registered just two receptions for 27 yards on five targets in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: It was the Jordan Addison Show on Sunday, with T.J. Hockenson equally Addison's nine targets while also going over 100 yards. Jefferson remains an obvious top-notch fantasy option, but his managers have to be a bit concerned about seeing him play third fiddle in the pass game, especially with the fantasy playoffs looming. Hopefully he can rebound in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson caught six passes for 81 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Huddle Up: Jefferson has posted at least 80 yards in eight of his last nine games but has gone four straight games without a touchdown. He should continue to be one of the best receivers in the NFL and is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.
